This CSS is in its second draft, June 28. 2007. Using a pleasing "Sherwood Forest" color scheme, this style makes your del.icio.us bookmark lists and tags more readable. My favorite aspect is how this emphasizes the tag cloud feature, pushing tags together and articulating usage with relative size and proximity to other tags. Unfortunately it looks like del.icio.us doesn't apply classes consistently to tags so the results aren't 100% accurate. The bookmarks list itself adds bullets and balances size and color to each entry for better scan-ability. Tag colors are offset for proper balance, and have the subtle addition of commas. There's a rather large background image used on the banner bar, which you're free to eliminate for speed. There's also a choice of sherwood_01.jpg and sherwood_02.jpg

This simple CSS tightens up the standard "Classic" iGoogle look in this 1st draft. Smaller but still readable fonts, tighter white-space control, and 6 newly colored tabs make this very useful for anyone on a lower res screen (my new laptop is limited to a miserable 1024x768). The next version will seek to match tab colors to module colors (currently not easy due to how iGoogle has (mis)managed its elements, but I'm working on it!). In the pre-theme Google Home Page I was able to control column colors as well; I hope to do column differentiation (probably via tones) as well for those who are really anal about organizing content in cols as well as tabs. Then I'll work on a universal streamlining style to mod all iGoogle themes.
