The Haddock team has spent the last few months revamping the look of the generated output. We're pretty close to done, but we'd like to get the community's input before we put it in the main release.
Please take a look, and then give us your feedback through a short survey

One thing I haven't seen anyone else comment on is the width of the new docs. I have a large (26") monitor and use the browser full-screen (with xmonad, so even more screen space). When I load these pages, particularly the non-frame one, something like 50% of my screen real-estate is empty whitespace on either side of the doc content. There is also wasted space in the frames version, just a little less of it. I wish the docs were using that space like the current Haddock does. Is the plan to use a fixed width like this?
Yes. There's research suggesting that the line length should be between 65 and 75 characters per line. http://psychology.wichita.edu/surl/usabilitynews/42/text_length.htm
