Despite my concerns about the search box location, I was resigned to the
Vector changeover until just this moment. And while I'm glad to see the
Japanese fixed (and possibly some of the other languages) the new *look* is
not an improvement. Too dark, too small. If there is a discussion about
those changes somewhere, I'd be interested to see it. Didn't realize this
was part of it.

I don't really like it either. But whilst
from an editor's point of
view the skin is less suitable than monobook (or even modern), I think
our readers will enjoy the new layout.
I disagree. I've been using Vector since the beta and find it no problem.
But although it's too early for the
mainstream media to have covered
the redesign, what reception the blogosphere has given it seems to be
generally negative. (Google 'wikipedia new design' and take a look at
the blog posts and comments. But take the comments with a pinch of
salt; typically, only those with some kind of axe to grind will
comment on a blog post.)
I just approved about twenty complaints about the new layout and
puzzle globe on the Wikimedia blog ;-)
(I suspect the puzzle globe rendering could do with tweaking, but I
strongly approve of the official font for the logo being a properly
free font.)
