I'm not sure if this has been addressed with you guys but the transparencies on the menu items and banner, while very attractive, are a bit difficult to view what's behind them. When the background image, currently Ryu shows more prominent than the words on the menu item, it makes it difficult to descern what you're attempting to click on. Granted, I know that highlighting the mouse over it brings it closer to light, but from a user browsing experience, shouldn't navigation be a bit more intuitive?

Yeah, you're right, I didn't brought it up because it wasn't that important for me, but I can see people having trouble with that

Do you mean the "Welcome, yourname"

and the other text next to your avatar?

All of this is hard to read:
