Basically, the only way this is acceptable, if is there is an option to turn it off - I understand you'd want it as a default for the once-per-month users, but mainly to people like me who are mostly active on one wikia - for example cause you're an admin from a team of 3 editors - it's completely irrelevant and in the way, especially if you got the console open to test some java.

Also, there's the size. I honestly don't see a single reason why it couldn't be a third of the current size - which would blend in with a browser's toolbars more than with the wikia, and which would also be much less of an eyesore even on darker Wikia's.

TL;DR: to big, make it an option.
