Forum:Design decisions

Recently, as helpers and administrators appear to be doing some work on the background and the main page, there are two suggestions I'd like to make. While the latest background can't be said not to be aesthetically pleasing, I do not feel that it represents the Harry Potter series particularly well, and the transition between the image and and the navy blue background is rather jarring for those with larger monitors. I suggest a replacement, or making the edges of the images fade to the colour of the background. I also don't really agree with the use of bright green borders for some of the page elements. I'm going to take a guess and say that it was motivated by a desire to make the wiki feel more eerie and magical, it just looks out of place. Thanks.
