This is kind of interesting, but there's a lot of grey-on-grey on the top bar, and I'm not sure if it's an accident or not but the top bar extends down to underneath the first headline.

It would be neat if you moved the search somewhere more prominent too.

Hm, the top bar should not extend down to be underneath the first headline so that might be a bug. Mind taking a screenshot for me?

And I almost completely forgot about the search box, will fix it. Thanks.

I figured out what it is, it's the browser being zoomed in. When it's zoomed out it's right.

Could you by any chance make the source code easily accessible? I don't know about others, but I prefer to verify the source of any extensions that have access to sites into which I log in.

Nice. I had been using Georgify [0], but it doesn't display deeply nested comments well.
