Colors are different from the "official" topbar's colors
Given the obvious care with which this was put together, I imagine that this was probably done intentionally, but I'd like to ask that it be reconsidered.
The SO/light theme should use the same color scheme as the "official" topbar on Stack Overflow. The SE/dark theme should use the same color scheme as the "official" topbar currently live on Meta Stack Exchange.
I don't see a good reason to change the colors. I'd like to preserve as much consistency with the "official" topbar as possible.
That includes the background color for the bar itself, the foreground color of icons, the background and foreground colors used for "hover" effects, and the colors of headings in the drop-down menus.
Furthermore, the dark theme on SO should stick with the default color for the headings of drop-down menus. Currently, it's overridden with
background-color: #555;
color: #bbb;
but I don't think that looks as good. The official SE/dark theme still uses a light gray for headings inside of drop-down menus.
Actually, it's something of an oversight. I've been using the dark theme for quite some time. For me the theme was applied across all sites for long enough such that I failed to notice the significant difference when testing the code to make it optional.
At an absolute minimum, there should be a theme that makes SO match closely to what it looks like on other SE sites. That should probably be the default selection. I will work on making that so.
I've intended more extensive theme support (i.e. being able to select from multiple options for both SO and other sites). What I'll probably end up doing is have the current theme be one of the options, with something closely matching what's on SE being the default.
