The colored line below the menu items is pretty neat, and the searchbox looks great. I however think we are very near bike-shedding here.

Once that is finalized we can start implementing it and tweaking the css later/while implementing it - otherwise I fear nothing will happen. > be more appropriate than a slide here.
