This has to be the zillionth change to the navbar in the course of a few years.

The current navbar is designed to look the same on all wikis, which is problematic as not all wikis look the same. You can't be saying that the current state of the navbar is a "one-size-fits-all" design because it isn't. On a wiki with lighter themes or themes other than the shade of blue the navbar uses, the navbar sticks out like an eyesore. The navbar should adapt to the theme of the wiki; why not make it, to an extent, customizable in Special:ThemeDesigner, or at least match the colours set in there?

Secondly, the ability to hide the navbar by scrolling down is what made me happy in the first place. I could simply hide what I didn't need to use right now as I focused on reading the text. Even in previous navbars, the navbar would at least fade and become translucent when I scrolled down, so it responded to my scrolling. Why remove a feature that was so useful to again permanently fix this navbar on my screen that never goes away?

You need to stop forgetting advice people gave you in the past and repeating the same mistakes. You also need to cut it out with this "no opt-outs" scheme and give people the choice to use your new changes or stay with the old for even just a little while longer. Instead of just suddenly migrating everyone to the new, have it available as an opt-in beta feature and collect feedback then rather than releasing it as final right away, with no method of reverting, and then waiting for feedback.
