You know, I think that it could work! That size of components, with
the Mairin design touch to make the secondary bar a bit less flat.

Hmm... I'm not sure about this.
I like the General top bav bar to be identical on all sites, so
everywhere you go has that common Gnome feel. Black goes with
everything ;) Maybe, just *maybe* I can imagine different hues, but
very limited change. Even that I'd rather not.
And the foot logo should stay on Home, because it links back to Gnome
Central, not move about.
Sites get to define their identity with that comes below.
