Moving the search bar up there, I like. There was wasted space on the top bar, and now it's being put to use. Having links to other places all be in tiers under one "Wikia" menu rather than splitting things up into Video Games, Entertainment, Lifestyle, I like. Takes less space and is less arbitrary. But making it bigger, not matching the wiki in color scheme, and never going away? Not so much. It makes it look like some browser add-on you'd accidentally install with a piece of free software.

"Version 3" that scrolls away takes care of one problem. As to the color, if you don't want it to completely blend in by just using the wiki's default colors, maybe have it white with a partial transparency or something?
