I made text a little darker (the menu bars with their dark background needed it the most), swapped selected/highlight colors so that orange is the highlight color and blue is the selected color (I think orange stands out a little too much to be used for anything that isn't meant to be the focus of attention). I also made the menu highlights flat, just out of personal taste.
