I like the height difference since we can see more of the page now, but the entire space to the right is a slight aesthetic disappointment.

The avatar really was better when it was on the far right where it is used to and easily accessible through habitual checking, and the avatar should not have be shrunken down as much since it is very difficult to see what is in the avatar anymore.

Other than that, maybe the black bottom line could be dark gray or light gray instead so it is neutral and not as distracting from the bar above it and the page below it.

Edit: Just saw a notification...and didn't notice it at first in the very light shade of gray. Could we change that back to red please so it stands out? I don't want to miss notifications by accident.
