Consider, though, that if you change templates to be readable in this new skin, they may become unreadable for those using other skins. I'm assuming it's a Monaco thing as I'm not seeing any changes; and what's been done to Template:Metroid Prime rooms leaves me with blue links on black, and the weird border bits that have been left in look terrible. I can't imagine a black background looking good with any skin, though, and a dark-ish grey would be better, assuming the new skin's dark.
