How about you switch over to another design completely? When I designed the blog, I used this theme as the base design. It's alright to use other people's design, as long as you modify them and credit the original author (make sure they allow their works to be freely distributed as well).
Always try to make something as original as you can.
I agree. Though I'm not really good with coordinating colors. I'm still at the "If I'm wearing a black shirt and black pants I match" stage. Though getting colors similar to that design is good. I really like ones that resemble that.
Please reopen the overclocking thread in the suggestions section. I don't think that people who aren't overclockers can understand why we want the section on the front page, particularly the mod who closed the thread. Joga brought up some valid points, please read them.
