Big blue bars
 

I do not care for the big blue bars across the User CP page and the subscribed forum pages. Makes the page look very busy to me, but there is actually no more info than there was before the change.
I counted 16 blue bars on my User CP page. Most of them just had a few words in the bar. The rest of the bar was just a big blue area taking up space.

My two cents worth,
Brian
