I actually find that the changes in contrast have emphasized important elements of the page. As an example, the buttons and text on the front page will probably only need to be read once unless you're actively looking for them.

The auto-suggestions have helped improve my results a few times, particularly when I can't think of a bang.

The red bar and default coloring are probably a little more subjective, so I can understand that. I do hope changes don't accumulate to become more negative, but I find these changes to be largely pleasant.
