What you guys think of my exam's design.

'Sup,

I am turning in my exam this Monday, basically I had to create an application that manages Music Groups, Pieces, Artist and bla bla bla.

I am quite confident in the design sans one part, the Index (main screen) so instead of asking some tacky people over the internet I decided that I wanted opinions from the well versed people of this forum, the problem is that I have 0 talent to match colors and software engineering inevitably meets design somewhere in the road.

Without further ado let me know what you guys think, should I keep it like this?

Just in case Symphony is the name of the application and the H2CODE is technically me.

Larger font and any colour but grey (I'd go for a dark rust).

We're not tacky people over the internet? That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said.

Dark rust as in red rust? And the font will be changed be made bigger

Maybe change the grey box into a translucent one, blurring out edge detail in the colored background.

Or have a desaturated translucent background (not totally desaturated to grey, just a hint of the background color).
