FINALLY a global nav that isn't a universally offensive eyesore. allowing individual wikis to customize their own (1:at the very least, color customization; 2:within wikia-defined limits, say, no removing the logo or whatever) would probably reduce complaints from all but the most unpleasable of the userbase.

personally i can live with the transparency bling. now if that can extend to the dropdown menus....
