Not sure this is really an improvement, at least not visually.
Way too narrow (this is a real pain in the neck), far too cluttered visually, and the black-on-maroon lettering is almost impossible to read compared to the current white-on-black.
I've always felt that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Is the BB really broke?
These are just my initial reactions from a quick glance. I may edit/change my opinions later.
