I think his idea is good, I miss the old layout and the current Eclipse layout looks bland, no offense but it bring me the same bland look then McDonald's restaurants currently have.

And here how Deviantart looked back in 2000, some might find that layout looking too much like a webpage from Geocities, Angelfire, Tripod, FortuneCity, etc... but compared to Eclipse, it wasn't all that bad. https://web.archive.org/web/20000815205911/http://www.deviantart.com/
