I'd like to suggest intermediate solutions like mozilla.com , it has rounded corners and gradients, but the background is mostly white. Background gradients can be nightmarish for designers, but partially-filled backgrounds with a limited-size image look beautiful and they are less problematic. Also, not everything is inside boxes, which obviously tend to be rectangular. That gives a general feeling of openess and freedom. -- Francisco Vila.
