Looks nice enough to me!

I'd disagree with (a), but, well, taste has no taste. However, I
completely agree with (b) -- in fact, there's precedent for making
developer-facing UI different: see the pretty error pages and the "it
worked!" page, which aren't Django branded in any way. The reasoning
was that we wanted the error pages to be somewhat framework-agnostic;
we didn't want to impose our branding onto parts of *your* site. I'd
say a similar ethos should be expressed in the debug toolbar branding.
If you wanted to be extra special, some UI similarity between the
error pages and the debug toolbar would probably be a good idea.
