I didn't even notice it had changed until your post. Even then I had to look at it for several minutes before I realized the nav tree had moved to the right side.
In my defense, your phrase "new look" had me expecting a major difference in the whole theme, so I spent a few moments hitting Ctrl-F5 and looking around for a "sneak peek at our new look" link. 
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

We had a missing CSS rule. Try refreshing and see if that helps

It's still narrow and the forums are on the right. But even more importantly, the formatting toolbar is missing, at least when writing a Lounge post.
|
|
|
|
|
"It" being the width of the forum messages / main panel?
Matthew fixed the missing format bar.

Yes, the width of those things. Or am I just being fooled because the layout has flipped?
I see that the format bar has returned.

The RHS was 160px, it's now 300px. The LHS was 170px. It's now 0. There's about 20px os extra space added between the forums and the RHS. That means the net change is about 10px wider forums that had a RH bar (eg Bugs and Suggs) and a 150px reduction in width for forums that didn't have a RH bar (eg the Lounge).
We can tweak.

I'm sure I'll get used to it. I don't need to be part of the focus group.

Why have you moved the forum list to the right Chris ?

CTRL+F5 makes no difference.
This message text box looks Ok though.

Okay, I know I'm getting old, but God meant menus to be on the left! If not, He would have inspired Chris, David, Uwe, et al, to create the original with a right side menu panel. It just ain't right!
At the very least, make the silly thing follow me down that page as I scroll so I don't have to scroll all the way up to find it.

I think, put it back to how it was.
It was fine previously and menus on the right are just a little eccentric - I can't think of any other UI where the menu is on the right.

The menu went from left to right, but that's it.
Don't really like it as I now have to look all the way to the left edge of my screen.
Maybe 10px margin between the screen's edge and text (I checked and it's 9px) 
Besides, by far most menu's I've seen were on the left, that's just where I'd expect it.

I find it awful, but it's not my site.

Hmm, you mentioning the space on the left made me notice it.
Zooming in fixes it for me (and makes the text easier to read.)

At first I had no idea what you talked about Griff. Until I realised that I only visit The Lounge. On the main page poor Bob is severely severed. : (

And the (expandable) "tree view" (TOC) is usually on the left.
(It's now tucked in between ads, while the left is "empty")

Have to admit it, but I actually hadn't noticed.

I have someone using my GFX library for a project of theirs.
They need a really tall font to show up large enough on their screen. Raster doesn't seem to be in the equation because I can't find 40px high raster fonts in a format digestible by any major IoT graphics libraries.
So TrueType it is. The trouble is, he doesn't have the RAM on his widget to load a TTF into memory. It must be embedded as a .h header file and streamed from the "program flash" space.
It works, but it's not fast. I need to make it fast, or he's out of luck, and his fairly simple use case blows a sizable hole in my own project.
*cracks knuckles*
This is coding. This kind of thing gets the blood flowing for me. I'm behind the 8-ball and only being smarter than the hardware is going to get me out of that predicament.
EDIT: IT WORKS. Using it from a header is plenty fast enough even on a WROOM: ttgo_ttf_mock/main.cpp at master · codewitch-honey-crisis/ttgo_ttf_mock · GitHub[^]

If it is only one font at only one size, it shouldn't be too hard!

It actually is if the characters overlap. At least doing it quickly, since at that point a straight blt is off the table.
And if you're not doing a straight blt and you can afford that, well then you have options.
Some people's options were to make a tool to render monospaced TTF to alpha blended antialiased bitmaps which could then be overlapped.
Mine was just to support truetype. But I may do the other thing too for platforms other than an ESP32. TTF is big.

I can really identify with that; many times when I was starting out as an engineer (who also programed what he designed) I was told that something can't be done. That just got me fired up, and I went ahead and did it. Don't ever tell me I can't, because I will do it.
Good job!
