I'm not sure if people are aware of this but when you look at a photo or a website, your gaze by default usually go to the upper right hand corner. For me it does and what I see is the mountain in bright light in this case every time I change the page. That is not what I want, so if we are going to discuss a change in the background design I would prefer a more subtle background, like the one we have or what we had before this one. The links color though are not really in my taste, they can be hard too find maybe for some people. I prefer a more distinctive contrast than grey against black.

Why would people randomly gaze at the upper right hand corner? If you're referring to the snow of the mountain, I see in now way how someone is going to gaze at that rather than looking at the content they came on there for, in all honesty, and not to mention that the side background are in close peripheral vision so it's not like your eyes will focus on them. Now, I can understand that if some people don't find it memorable enough to be a background, but the fact that you're saying somebody will attend their focus onto dim whiteness of snow in a corner just sounds like a way to repudiate.

As for the link colors, the official TES website pulls them off on a background, and I see now reason to why we shouldn't. It's easy to tell them from mellow blue to black and mellow blue to white. To me, and I'm sure others, will find that really distinguishable. I think you're just overthinking this.
