Agreeing with the majority here: it's too tall on my screen, and I'd love to be able to easily customize the color, or at least pick from a set of options if consistency across Wikia is the issue. The stark white is a real eyesore.

I like the idea of the bar vanishing when you scroll down, but on the other hand, I like the search function being that obvious and easily accessible. I think fixing the aesthetics would make it okay to leave it in place.
