Still waiting for them to get rid of the magnifying glass button so we can have the option to switch between searching locally and globally in the search bar itself rather than in a dropdown menu. Wasn't that the reason they decided to go with a universal theme in the first place, to make it more apparent that you could conduct global searches? I'd think having the option right there next to the search bar would make that pretty clear. That would allow them to make it so the search bar could be customized so it wouldn't smack you in the face every time you navigated to a darker-themed wiki, which make up around half of Wikia's population.
