I like Andrew's design too. I'll make some further comments regarding my design below. > I'm gonna say a dirty word, but...

It's not *forbidden* by any means. ;-) IMO, it would be difficult to create a textured background image that works well with the smaller font-size of the links in the TOC (retaining legibility, etc.). But if you or someone else can create a satisfying gradient, I say we should try it out. Regarding my design... My main focus with this design is cross-browser and cross-platform compatibility. Since the default padding, margins, line-height, etc. vary from element to element, and from browser to browser, I added many more CSS style rules in order to give the designer *control* over all of these dimensions. As a result, the padding, margins, and font-sizes in my design are pretty consistent across browsers and platforms. Color choice is not my forte, so I am willing to change the color scheme. I really like Andrew's color scheme, FWIW. Of course the color scheme is very important, since this is *the* main thing people will notice. For example, the "green" I chose for the h1 header looks horrendous on the Windows platform, but it looks great on my GNU/Linux system. This color definitely should be changed in the final style. Font size for monospace fonts is something I've been struggling with, but I only discovered the reasons for the issue recently. Firefox and Safari use 16pt fonts as the default size for sans-serif and serif, but use 13pt for monospace. So if the code examples appear in a smaller font size for you, hopefully you are using Firefox or Safari. :-) I hope I made clear the motivation for my design.
