(1) How about float them all the way to the right?
Sorry, I missed this, float what?
The navbar tabs. Floating tabs under the search bar may make the icon look 'more comfortable' :)
(2) I don't know what people have against Arial. Verdana is to lumpy
a font for my taste. If not Arial, then Trebuchet (which is found in
both Mac and PC) would be a better choice (to go with the logo's font).
Non-free. We should stick with things that show up on all systems, like Linux. MS Trebuchet isn't a free font nor distro'ed. Personally I say stick with Sans.
There is such a thing as ... ahem ... cascading of fonts in a stylesheet. No, really. You must try it sometime ;-) But I know nothing about free or distro'ed fonts ... BUT ... Trebuchet was one of the cascaded defaults in MovableType and WordPress. Just saying.
(3) Can't the font on the login block be a bit smaller (which is why
I love the login tobbogan)
You shouldn't go messing with font sizes too much. Font preference is a user thing. What is too small for one is too big for another. 0.9em is about as small as you can get away with with out hurting peoples eyes. 0.85em Maybe...
Points (heh) taken. And there is something wonky with the alignment.
(4) The post information should be flush with the title, not the
content. It reads like content right now. it also should be smaller
than the content font.
I don't know about smaller, but different color for sure. You should always seperate your "posted by" info from the actual story article.
My choice would be to get it closer to the title.
.node .submitted { color: #3a75b6; }
Different color, yes. I still think links and post info should be a point smaller than the body of the post :) Which is why we can't style in committee, can we ;)
I don't have a problem with the color of the post but #666 could be a good substitute to black.
