I am all for osnews improving there site visually however this v4 design looks like a programmer pulled out there photoshop paint brushes and hacked up a terrible interface.

- The osnews logo is a complete joke.
- The use of gradients is an unthought of contribution.
- More negative space is needed between the articles to separate them for easier/quicker reading.

I strongly advise you to send the design to /dev/null and hire a real designer to do the job, perhaps you can get some inspiration about whats good from a site like this; http://cssmania.com

On the matter of the improved functionality I have no gripes there.

I also regularly read the articles from my mobile phone (640x480 res), I notice that the new interface is not available on that yet, I surely hope that doesn't get stuffed up!
