as far as the white goes, I think it might help out if all the baby blue areas were changed to that shade of blue at the top in the tool bar. I think that might be part of the problem, like the color to the side of the reply box is so light it almost looks white itself. When you click on traders blog at the top it has a wonderfull color scheme. I think that might be more pleasant if applied to more areas.
