User blog comment:Rupert Giles/Global Navigation Update/@comment-11515627-20141203161059

EW ... der... IT'S WINDOWS 8... der... It's UGLY... I WANT OLD STUFF BACK... der.. I don't like change... der... flat design SUX *insert chrome+bevel-fanboy rage here*

Okay, all joking aside, I like the new design. Naive users may find the "flat" design dumb, but they'll catch on. One thing is it's far too tall. If the height were reduced it'd be much easier to live with. But I like the new search field and the community navigation, as well as the fact that the whole header has a fixed position (I've actually been wanting that for years). Good job overall.

Edit: I've written a personalized username/wikia.css to chop that height down tho'. Much better. :-)
