I can't see links at the top of the page, such as "my preferences", because the taskbar covers it, and doesn't seem to have a "retract" button. (I usually noscript javascript, so maybe most people can see such a thing.)

If you're going to have a taskbar, that bar should push everything down so you're not interfering with wiki functionality. In addition, I think it should be customizable, not just in terms of color, but being able to add text and links to it. If a wiki has a "community announcement" that's a great way of ensuring the community notices it.

I'll add my voice to the chorus that the bar is too "thick". There's a lot of wasted space above and below the minimal text, and the font of that text is very large. The search bar does not need a font size of over 12.
