Visual design decisions - let's fight!

As I’ve already mentioned elsewhere, the text/links within the drop-down menus are aligned to the the right side of the drop-down. That just looks plain weird to me.
Color scheme: I like how you’ve chosen a few high contrast colors against shades of grey, but…

This blueish purple hurts my eyes. I think because there’s not enough contrast against the dark grey background. How about using Facebook-blue instead, since that color is already being used. Or maybe just a lighter shade of grey.
Also, these two colors are too similar for my taste:

What say you, good Sir?

Thanks Morten. I love how Europeans aren't shy :) We Americans are more likely to say “yeah, it's great!” when they don't think so ;-)

drop down right justified; I like it but am open to others. If others say they don't like it we can try changing it. But I actually like it. Go figure.
purple — hm, OK. But if we go Facebook blue, then it'll match the Facebook icon, and you've already said that the store and the + look too similar.
I don't know if we have control over the colors on add this but the orange is a very specific color. Since they don't show up next to each other I'm not too bothered, but I'll see if that + can change.

The only one I agree with is the similar orange/salmon colors of the social link icons. Right Justify, purple, etc. Just fine. Actually, thanks for having nice large fonts :)

You can always re-evaluate the visual aesthetic in the future and make changes. In the meantime seems like actual bugs would be the priority.

I don’t mind the right alignment in the menu bar, actually quite like it. Doesn’t always have to be the same formal formatting.

My wife overrode me on the right justification. It's been on left for a while :)

Working on the social icons. They need to be retina so I'm finding out what I can do to just change that entirely.
