Number 4: The search bar is now at the top of the dang screen, the old search bar has been replaced. And I just don't see how it's beneficial at all to have a search bar that follows you. Wikipedia has their search bar at the top-right corner of the screen and people have no trouble finding it. When did Wikia get the impression that a search bar wasn't obvious enough and decided to have it dangle in front of everyone like a carrot in front of a horse? Madness!
 
Now, Wikia seems determined to carry on with these changes despite strong community opposition and lots of criticism and feedback. They still haven't done anything about the notifications despite claiming to find a resolution three months ago. Now seems just about time to whip out [[TSW:SFP]] and give Wikia a ticket if they drive past our red light, but firstly, we'll probably need consensus to get Wikia to make the changes to fix this dang navbar and make it less awful than it is now.

::::I noticed that the bottom category bar seems to have lost its custom design. I guess Dec. 3 update changed the css class for the bar. Just saying.

One solution I can offer for this debacle is to copy and paste the following code into your personal [[Special:MyPage/Wikia.css|Wikia.css]] or [[w:Special:MyPage/global.css|global.css]] file:
 
<pre>
/** Global navigation bar funsies **/
.global-navigation {
position: relative !important;
}
.search-select-overlay {
color:#C8D2D7;
}
.global-navigation {
background-color: #002D55;
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(left center , #000B15 0px, #002D55 50%, #000B15 100%);
}
.global-navigation {
border: none;
}
.global-navigation * {
border: none;
}
.global-navigation .page-width {
border: none;
}
.global-navigation img.avatar {
border-radius: 0 !important;
}
.search-form-wrapper .table-cell {
color:white;
}
.AccountNavigation > li .avatar-container {
border-radius:0%;
}
.wikia-logo img {
background-image: url(http://i.imgur.com/keGMFzh.png);
}
</pre>
 
The navbar will turn from a harsh, glaring, distracting white to a much more tolerable blue. However, it messes up the search bar, where search bar suggestions that pop up as you type are virtually unreadable. --I am [[User:K6ka|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] [[User talk:K6ka|<span style="color:#0080FF"><sup>Talk to me!</sup></span>]] [[Special:Contributions/K6ka|<span style="color:#0B4C5F"><sub>See what I have done</sub></span>]] 15:04, December 3, 2014 (UTC)
