Is it me or does the color scheme...

I really like the set up of the site and the scheme of everything i think it looks good!

It's the highs and lows in the horizontal bars. Scroll up and down really quickly while keeping your eyes fixed in one spot on the screen and you'll see them coming by your eye. This is what is confusing your eyes. No question. It looks cool, but with multiple high and low light portions of each one they create a very busy backdrop for your eyes to make sense of. Those horizontal breakers are used to separate posts and everything else on the page. They should be as uniform as possible from a purely functional/human factors standpoint.

But... form plays a role too. Which is why I think a compromise might be to make them solid, the lighter color. They would still be metal, with the brushed look, just without the confusion.

I love the look but Charles is right on the horizontal bar. But I love the dormer look makes it easier to read with no lights on since the screen doesn't seem as bright
