I don't know about the expertise of others, but Christoph might be 
called "Guru" in this area. As he is more than busy with the "initial 
branding" and other urgent tasks, I think we could go live with a 
"not-so-perfect" solution and brush it up later on.

I like it much better - it looks more lightweight ("libre" ;-) ).

This allows the corner of grey triangles to become a relevant branding 
element.

Perhaps there is a way to add the gradient from the active tab in the 
top navigation to the left border of the active entry in the left tab?

(and could the right upper corners of the left tabs be removed as well 
on the active green as on the inactive grey entries?)

ok, but I don't understand the reason to up-size h2 over the size of h1.

On my flatscreen blue0 is too dark - not easily to be distinguished from 
normal text (might become even more a problem for visually impaired people).

Looking at your screenshot, I'd prefer:

- blue1 for normal links,
- blue1 underlined for hover links
- green1 underlined for activated links (in order to distinguish them 
from headings and <strong> texts.

Hope this helps.
