The interface of my MT 3.2 installation was getting old. Its fonts were too small and it looked cluttered and cramped together on my 1280 px screen.

Aside of Comic Sans, I would say Trebuchet is likely the worst web font available. So I first replaced it with Lucida Grande, followed by Arial.

The original idea was to adjust the overall size of the layout, to make it work better with the resolutions of current computer screens. I didn’t place elements differently; I just gave everything a little bit more space, adapting some of the look and feel of the core website.

It’s interesting. All of a sudden, removing some elements, cleaning it up and making it look less cluttered, can give the whole thing a Web 2.0 feel.
