How about the background of the header (for the tabs/pages) is black? it 
is much better for the eyes and I guess it would be more beautiful? you 
can then try with the buttons:
Either white buttons with red text
or red buttons with white text

Of course, if you ask me, I'd say we don't have to stick to: Black, 
White and Red but can use different degree/level of these 3 colors or 
any other colors that could fit in between. Yes, will be more complected 
to have more colors to play with.
I'm not a graphic designer nor an artist. I can't imagine what could 
happen unless I 'see' :)

BUT
We need first to:

Phase 1 = DONE = we have a logo now.
Phase 2 = Vote for the new design = INPROGRESS
Phase 3 = Vote for the Colors - as I sent on the other email: 
https://lists.launchpad.net/torios/msg00446.html = INPROGRESS
Phase 4 = Website Theme/Colors = TODO

Too early for this now :D

Okay, but just to make sure everyone will read this:

*DE/WM is still this highest priority*
Logo is on the*2nd*  place
Website is on the*3rd*  place


Just a quick gentle reminder :D

Thank you!
