User blog comment:Rupert Giles/Global Navigation January Update/@comment-17725354-20150204213130

This is a big improvement over the last global nav, and it really looks a lot less intrusive. Nice job! I do have a few suggestions:

The avatar is definitely needs to be bigger, and the border radius could be reduced to 19% instead of 50%. This produces a 'rounded square' shape instead of a circle, which doesn't cut off as much of the avatar (as people have been complaining).I don't care for the dark gray color of the bottom border and "Start a wikia" button on the white background. The Wikia blue could be a nice alternative.I'm probably being nitpicky on this one, but I don't see the need for the word "within" in the search placeholder. To me, "Search (wiki name)" is self-explanatory, and "within" just makes it more wordy.I'm also happy to report that the dropdown menu bug I posted on the other blog was fixed (before this update). I'll edit this post once the fading thing comes into effect if I have any suggestions on that.
