I already saw the thread about the planned text colors modification. That's good news and I will post and vote on that thread, too.
However, I would also suggest to reconsider the icons, mainly their colors. I know tastes differ, though yellow-purple or green-purple are really tough on the eyes (at least for me). Simple, yet clear icons (like on uT) would actually be pretty neat.
Another suggestion concerns the border around the progress bar. I would get rid of it, as it takes space, but is imho not much of use.
Lastly, a little bit more of spacing between the lines and maybe a tad bit bigger font would increase readability.
I want to stress that this is in no way a rant, but just some suggestions. You are doing a great job regardless.
