Over the last weeks, I have reflected purely on the design aspects of
the submission, staying as close as possible to the original fundamental
technical approach. The principle corner stones of the new design are
in place, using a black design with a steel theme at night.
Please find committed a number of screenshots for a first impression.

On the animation side, it was in the end easier to code an update
with which one can preview (actually experience) the current state.
Until now, I have tested this with Chrome, Firefox, IE10 and Opera.
In the final phases, Safari, mobile variants and IE9 will also be put
through their steps.

I would greatly appreciate your feedback to the current state of
the design, to see if it is overall going in the right direction.
