I don't want to squash any hopes, or pretend I'm privy to insider knowledge, but:

The loudest shouts by far in the beta were the size and color. They say they addressed this - by making it scroll away (out of sight, out of mind), not by changing the color. They're testing different versions (scroll away bar, static bar) for performance and use.

My guess: they don't want to change the color because they want Wikia-wide branding and uniformity. They'll use the test result to shoot down the scroll-away options as impractical. We're going to be stuck with the white bar.
