Now that it's live, I took a look at it on a bunch of differently coloured wikis, and
 * I still think that "white on *" looks terrible.
 * I still think it is too large.

Both of things worsen each other, perhaps if was either smaller or followed the colours of the wikinav, the other wouldn't be as obvious.
