    You already have light, small text on a colored and potentially busy background — consider adding a fix for Safari's flicker-on-opacity-anim. bug. View bug: http://w.nkls.me/dKDE

    While well-made, it's largely missing anything enticing. The background of the carousel grabs more attention than the carousel's contents. The theme-grid below is muted and unremarkable. And then where there is color, the large icons use derivative palettes without enough contrast to create focus.

      The flickering is a Safari bug and doesn't occur in other browsers. I don't think there's a fix for it either.

      I think the design is clean and presents the content well without having to shout, where you expecting something louder?

        Not necessarily louder, but something with a differently weighted hierarchy.

        As for the text bug, "transform: translateZ(0);" fixes it, but you have to modify font weight to compensate for then-lighter text. Occasionally setting subpixel rendering will fix as well.

          Adding a transform to it changes the font rendering. Compensating by changing the font weight seems a bit drastic for a minor bug caused by the browser.
