The blue looks too much like Answers.com but muddier.

Gradients are overrated. May as well put a transparent gradient on it or make the whole thing translucent.

If the search box is a roundrect, why not make the whole navbar a half roundrect?

A dropdown icon doesn't need bars.

Replace "Search this wikia" with the wikia's name after the spyglass and then "All wikias" after that, and allow tabbing to these buttons.

Stephan222, the new bar should not be nescient.
