Hi Patrick,
I do like your Moodle demo: http://newschoollearning.com/moodle site (probably based on the Kubrick fixed-width theme?). I personally like very much the idea of highlighted anchor blocks when hovering over them and I don't know why they are almost non-existent in "standard distribution" Moodle theme (I do it in my orangechoc theme).
I've just noticed that your blocks work OK in both FF 2 and MSIE 7, although the red text coloring only appears in MSIE 7 (see attached screenshot).
Finally, I also like a lot your "customizing menu" at the top right (font size, color & width). Is this freely available to moodle users?
All the best, and keep up the good work,
Joseph
