Profile sidebar skin ugly after upgrade - how to fix it?

[tcarr9]

I don't have a screen shot of what my profile looked like before the upgrade. I upgraded from 4.0.5 to 4.1.6 today, and after making some minor adjustments to my templates, I think everything is reasonably close to my previous skin except for the profiles. I can't figure out how to fix the profile.

As you can see in the attachment, the background of the sidebar is a medium blue. It appears to be using the same image that we are using in multiple other places on the forum. The default icons are dark gray, making them difficult to see. The font color for the links looks terrible with this blue background.

I'd rather not risk messing up the look on other parts of the forum, so I'd prefer to change things just for the profile - either the background or the links and icons. Which style vars or templates should I be looking at?

Advice please? Thanks in advance.
