I noticed they added the yellow highlight to the currently opened item, and it makes it really hard for me to concentrate on the article I have open. I liked the design revamp, but that little highlight they added a few days ago throws me.
I too find that very distracting. After all, they use(d?) the yellow highlight for messages at the top of their screen (eg "Loading..." or something) so now I'm constantly thinking something important is happening above the text I'm reading.
