Well, it's been 6 days, double post is justified?

Well, I've completely changed the looks. you can look at it and give me an opinion (or many opinions).
I think this one is pretty simple, I have to work on the header a little more tho (or is it good just like that? I don't think so...)
It aligns to different widths and covers the whole page, so you guys with fullHD screens (if you're there ) can view it without a 1000px wide thing in the middle... I've changed the looks of tabs (I'm still using sliding doors method tho).
(in the image uploaded, the left navigation bar has the lower button 'hovered')
So... if you ignore the header, how does it look like?

This one looks more interesting: much better. Ignoring the banner, all i'd suggest is add margins to the boxes on the left; they're too close to each other in my opinion. The colors appear to be in harmony. I have nothing else to say.

Well, I made this new one. I want to know if the header is okay? Or should I take off the reflections?
I surrounded the whole left navigation with a border and had 1 pixel height lines splitting them.

So... what you think about it now?

The left navigation fits; that is, it doesn't require any more work on it except perhaps if you are going to apply an eye-candy style to them. As for the banner, it seems like you have a Dodge or Burn layer blend applied to it, which is causing pixelation mostly on the highlight of the text. I believe it is also the cause for the mismatching blue. I normally go with Overlay, but the color should be similar to the ones already used, and since the banner is more in the dark area of the layout, a little shine effect, which shows the light as if reflecting from the top, may be fitting.

Well, I made 2 versions of header, one is soft and the other one is ("hard"?).

Which one is better? I've also considered making a banner request or something. I think it would look nicer if some professional made this since I seem to suck at logo making.

EDIT: I'll make a banner request. Thanks for all your help
