Agreed, it's too shadowy.

Agreed again.

I'd like something in between. That is, if the each host/service were 
expandable. Instead of going to a new page like right now in 4.8.2, the 
details would become visible right beneath the service name I clicked.

That way, we wouldn't loose the overview because of a ten miles long 
page and still have everything on one page. But, this is not simple HTML 
anymore.

I also like the current font more.
