Instead of this:

This is the HTML code of the new outlook:

Code:
<td class="titlebg2" width="90%">
<span class="smalltext"><font color="red"><b>News:</b></font> <b>Latest stable version of Bitcoin Core: <a class="ul" href="https://bitcoin.org/en/download" target="_blank">0.12.0</a></b> <b>[</b><a class="ul" href="https://bitcointalk.org/bitcoin-0.12.0.torrent" target="_blank"><font color="orange"><b><u>Torrent</u></b></font></a><b>]</b></span>
</td>

I - personally - am pretty happy with it as its not flashy. The news tends to stay for a long time, so there is no real need to have a constant eye catcher IMHO.

Well it's barely visible. I hardly even notice it that it's there ,and i use the forum daily.

So even if its there for long it might not be visible.

If not for that and for RSS feeds, people would barely even know that new version comes out.

So i think it should be more visible.

News: New! Latest stable version of Bitcoin Core: 0.12.0

for few weeks when it first came out.
it's not really a big change so I don't care much. and theymos usually use all bold text for something urgent or important.

Pink was barely visible on the blue background.

Orange is a perfect contrast color for the blue background.

Well it's not exactly how I described but it still looks better than before. Orange is a better color than red, red is always associated with something negative. But orange is the default color of bitcoin.

So it looks better!
