I wanted to go for a sleek/simple/professional "feel." I have not designed for months/years, so I am a bit rusty. Other than that, tell me what you think. It is a work in progress, and I am getting unfocused/cluttered and can not further refine or design.

Edit: The first update of the print is uploaded. Not much new is added. I planned on making it more bright/white like Cody suggested, and this is what I came up with; I think it works quite well? I also lightened the dropdown hover menu as I feel it flows better. Moreover, I brightened the 1px lines at the top, although, I may brighten them some more. I also may soften the blue on the categories/tone them down a bit.

Winter is coming.
It's looking very good, especially for not having designed for quite some time. I really enjoy the subtle details such as the rounded corners on the categories. My suggestion is to reconsider the greys in the piece - I believe if you kept them a bit brighter then you'll get a happier or more vibrant feeling out of the print. :)

I posted an updated version with minor changes. Where did you get these small icons like the person next to preferences, mail, etc.

It's a love story, baby just say yes
I don't think you need a break between the banner and the topmenu, just continue that background straight across.

The hover on the drop menu also seems off, like both the last two items are being hovered instead of just the next to last.

My last issue is the wrap. I like the top, then it disappears. Either keep the main background blue instead of going to white, or make the the wrap a more off-white and give it a border all the way around so it can be seen.

This definitely has potential, keep going with it. :)
Consider this statement my permission to convert my themes to other platforms. Please link back to http://geoffreykoester.com. Be sure to rehost all theme images on the new platform as we do not know how long they will redirect. Also some boards hosting theme/skin images may not survive the move.
