User blog comment:Gp75motorsports/(Community Project) Let's create a better Global Navigation bar./@comment-25240518-20150507150445

I always found it unfair that it's disallowed to modify the global navigation; on many darker themed wikis, like you said, it just looks like an eyesore and stands out - not in a good way. I would rather it was more subtle on darker wikis and, like the new Social Icons that Wikia produced, the colour was different depending on your wiki's theme. With the Social Icons, it uses the same colour as the link colour that any wiki has, making it somewhat customisable; this proves that, if Wikia put enough effort into it, they could produce a generally nicer-looking global navigation altogether. Albeit being useful when it comes to usage, it is downright terrible when it comes to image.

I've only discussed colour matters, so, about the other features of the global navigation...Google does a similar thing with their search bar, except it doesn't follow you down when you scroll to the end of a page. It also doesn't stretch on different screens; it takes advantage of your monitor's size, and does a good job of it. I reckon that, if Wikia invested enough time and care into the global navigation, they could make it look decent enough to make us all happy - or at least marginally okay with its design. Like I said, its functionality is already good enough, it's just the design that is annoying; for me it is, anyway.
