I think the Nav' bar can be improved by reducing the over-all vertical depth of the drop down section under the left hand heading "W[k]a". I have noted that there are plans relating to mobiles and tablets, so this may be better for them, which I find OK.

The white colour clashes with some darker decors like that on Community Central and Baltic States Wiki. I hear it about CSS, but don't know how to use it. The old design layout was far more superior than your the navigation bar since you can change the colour of the old one to match your local decor via the use of an admin's button. There used to be a button that local Admins found on their dashboard that changed the nav' bar like the background still can be changed. Perhaps this old button could be restored

There is much concern out there and users are upset, with nearly the whole entirety of wikia is almost unanimously agrees with the idea the Nav’ bar some how a bit too big and/or annoying.

I have no problems with adverts and understand that is how Wikia earns it's money and pays it's bills.
