In no particular order:

Change default text to justified

Change default text to un-justified

p, li, dd { text-align: left; }

Change teaser text to un-justified

.mininode-teaser p, .mininode-teaser li, .mininode-teaser dd { text-align: left; }

Remove whitespace at top of page

#header { padding-top: 0; }

Remove whitespace around site name or logo

#logo-title { padding: 0; }

Centre site logo
Works best when the site name and site slogan are not shown. Pushes the header zone down.

#logo-title { float: none; text-align: center; }
#site-slogan { text-align: center; }

Undo larger font size for teaser text at the beginning of page content

.body-teaser { font-size: 1em; line-height: inherit; }
.body-teaser p, .body-teaser ul, .body-teaser ol, .body-teaser dl, .body-teaser fieldset { margin: 20px 0; }

Change background colour of page

body { background-color: #8c9cbc; }

Change background colour of primary menu bar

#primary, #primary a { background-color: #434385; }

Change colour of widget titles

.widget-title, .widget-title a { color: #5c5a6b; }

.read-more-link, .read-more a { color: #385573; }

#footer .widget-menu ul.menu { margin-bottom: 10px; }
#footer .widget-menu ul.menu li { list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0 0 10px 1.5em; padding: 0; }
