Also, the colors in use combined with borders and rounded edges gives me a distinctive vibe of 90s kids' software for some reason.

Edit:

Compare the current version: https://i.imgur.com/W8stZVf.png

...to the same thing with a couple of quick styling tweaks I added in dev tools: https://i.imgur.com/RJhLz7B.png

Still offbeat, much less "child's keyboard color scheme" (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007YW3CL6).

Thank you for taking the time to do that. I hope you don't mind, I may have to steal some of that when I eventually do some tweaks to make it more modern. :)

Feel free. The main things were just the color scheme, playing with spacing, and keeping the underlines on the nav links from standing out.
