And please, no MS-like boring fonts either.

I've set up a sample at http://towo.net/cygwin/cygwin.html to 
demonstrate that a lot can be tuned with minimal modification of the 
actual HTML page (just one line, the reference to the style sheet).
So the modified navigation area is completely style-sheet-driven only.

By the way, wasn't the discussion going towards the fancy new hippo icon 
to replace the edgy C?
Actually I had the idea to modify the hippo slightly to carve a letter C 
along the shape of its bottom...
Maybe someone with more experience in graphics tools could give it a 
try......
