For images behind the content area - I think that that should only apply if transparency is applied in Special:ThemeDesigner, and even then, there should be a setting in preferences or something like that to turn off all transparency regardless of if it is applied or not, because sometimes it can be very hard to read the text if there is too much transparency. If transparency is to be applied it should be enough to just be able to see the image and no more, otherwise readers will strain their eyes too much.

For the right rail on smaller windows and tablets - It looks weird because the modules are expanded across the whole content area. If it is possible to do this - the right rail should be divided into columns underneath the content area on articles, it would look much cleaner and much more appealing. This should only apply to really zoomed in views such as those on tablets - as most tablets would be used by readers and not editors so they would not be as interested in recent changes and such.

Also on the topic of the right rail, I think another question that needs to be raised is What will the right rail do on a large window? I have a widescreen monitor at home, and when viewing a webpage using Darwin there is this big, huge chunk of content and then a puny little right rail, which looks really out of context and out of place. The right rail needs to be fluid too, either expanding in size in larger windows or expand to two columns - with the recent wiki activity in one column and the search, photos, videos and chat modules in another column (or something like that), so that there are 3 columns in total - one for page content and two for wiki information. Darwin is working good, it just needs to be fine-tuned more so that it doesn't look too out of place (which it does on a widescreen monitor).
