"The global nav bar is still too white for dark-themed wikis and the intrusive drop down menu that comes up anytime you make the mistake of hovering the browser pointer over the wikia logo is HUGE and WHITE."

That's the point of it.

"Can we also talk about how the drop down wikia menu is a waste of useful space? It's a wikia marketing menu. It only provides wiki page links for those wikis that have asked to be included in wikia's marketing. It has nothing to do with the 99% of wikis on wikia."

Yep. It's a means to promote wikis on hot topics. Just like the old navbar had.

"I have a suggestion for wikia: find a way to make it possible for a visitor to be able to find all wikis related to a subject or genre. example: visitor searches for wikis about a tv drama series. result: all wikis that identify themselves as a tv "drama series" wiki come up. Right now, wikia is small minded about what a search bar tool should be used for."

To a lesser degree, that's what Hubs are. There are way too many genres and way too many wikis to list them all.
