Softer contrasts (less strongly-contrasting edges) would make a big 
difference.  This would apply both to the selection and to the toolbar 
icons.

Removing (or making optional) the unusual curved corners would also 
deal with a source of distraction.

Also, bold plus underline is really overkill for the column headers, 
and causes pixels to bleed together with no white space between them. 
An easy fix there I would think.

Finally, muting down from full volume black/white edges in the 
checkboxes would be good.

Generally the product range and the web-site has an unusually good 
graphic profile - really worth maintaining, I think.
