That whole white BG behind the lime-ish colored text on a gray table is really quite horrible.

It's very disturbing, visually. It makes the lines look like they're attached to each other; in certain cases, character descenders are cut off or overlaid by the white, and the white also overlaps those separation lines in the thread indices.

It's always a YIKES! moment for me when I see it...looks like a mistake, when the rest of the site is so well defined, designed and put together.
