I can spare 32 pixels in height, but the current 32 pixels are worthless
for me as I cannot read what is there.

I do not know at what design schools one learns that
black letters on dark blue background is a good thing.
It seems to be quite widespread, as I see this quite
often.

Please keep in mind that colors do not look equal everywhere.
My colors are usually dimmed as my eyes start burning when
I have to look into bright light for a longer time
(Zope's management screens are very difficult for me
as they use bright white as background. I already looked
whether I could change it, but unfortunately, the
color is coded individually in each file.
What about using a central style sheet instead?).
Therefore, what might look good at your screen,
is unrecognizable on mine (and probably others).

Furthermore, you lost brand by placing the
blue Zope button onto the blue stripe.
You can now only guess, what is should be.
While contrast is very high at most places in the
new design, it is far too low in this place.
