The next issue I'd like to highlight is Haiku's inconsistent treatment of type, and peculiar type selection.
The smallest type on the screen is perhaps the most unclear — the most unusual. Why a fixed-width face? I also am not keen on the body face selection, I find it drab, but that's up to personal taste. Here's another option (cursory, not overly well considered):
So, what do you think?

First impression... I like it. It solves one of my main pet peeves, which is the site's over reliance on images where well designed HTML and CSS could just as easily be used.
I think the smaller type is perhaps a touch on the too small side, and if I'm being picky, the icon squares aren't perfectly centered in relation to their labels. On the whole though, a great improvement, and crucially, something tangible we can take and use to better the site!
