IMO, the navigation bars should have a different background color than
the TOC background color. This is just personal taste. From a
usability perspective, I think the "matchy-matchy" case might be
*slightly* better, but I think the current use of a "headline" in the
TOC pane looks nice, and highlights the important "Back to
Documentation Index" link.
However, I believe this color should be lighter than the current grey,
but not so light as to render it indistinguishable from the pure white
background used for the main docs, as Reinhold pointed out. I am
currently searching for a better color.
Thanks,
Patrick
