I'm getting mixed signals here from your comments in this thread versus how the site looks versus your original question: I can't tell if you're trying to run this as a business, or if it's just a hobby. If it's just a hobby, then no, you don't need fancy graphics or much in the way of an interface or anything else. It's your project, and you're sharing it with people. That's great, and you get to let your personal style preferences rule the project. But if it's a business, then you have to run it like one. Even if your target market isn't a bunch of point-and-click Windows users, the site needs to be professionally designed, which includes adding some graphics, paying attention to typography, getting rid of the horrible black borders around everything, etc. You're a damn good programmer, from what little I know of you, but that doesn't mean you have any skill at graphic or interface design. If you want this thing to pay the bills, or even do better than that, then you have to sell it, and at the moment ... I don't think the new design is cutting it, even though it's a hundred times better than the current "design". Yet another way to look at it is that your time would be much better spent working on tarsnap's infrastructure and code, which you're very good at, rather than developing a new layout for the website ... which you're mostly only OK at.
