Hi Mathieu, all!

At the same time I am concerned that the journal, while hosted by ox, and obviously connected to ox in many ways, should nonetheless be seen as existing _in its own right_, and specifically have its own visual identity.
Sure.
I played around a bit with the colors in the current theme. Well, I'm
really not a designer but my attempts to shift the green to red made
me sick ;-( .
So I would advocate having a different layout than the current layout (black title band with a green toolbar sub-band) which is used in the other ox sites.
IMHO the best would be to install another theme.
I had a look around and found some websites that use Plone.
The FSF:

A more commercial scientific magazine:

Thanks for this. I took this and went back to
http://plone.org/products?getCompatibility=Plone%203&path=/plone.org/products&b_start:int=0&portal_type=PSCProject&getCategories=themes&SearchableText=
By this URL you get all theme releases for Plone 3. You may choose
From those.
My impression is that you prefer a two-column layout. Well, I think
two columns are enough for the journal. It's not too much which should
go into sidebars and the space is better used for the text.
I checked through the themes behind the link mentioned above. These
looked to me as if they could match your wishes more or less.

I just installed the starred one. Please check the site with the new
theme. May be it gives you an idea what can be changed by a theme.
However, I'm not sure how some things are tweaked in this theme - in
particular the red star needs to be eliminated ;-) . Also it seems to
be of a lower quality than the old one (Heddex Tranquility).
There is also
http://plone.org/products/subskins-iii
which is a highly configurable theme. Check out
http://subskins.medialog.no/
and play around.
I'll get back to the rest of your post soon.
