I like Jacob's idea of taking design hints from the debug page when styling
the toolbar. The information presentation on the debug page is very clear;
the sans-serif font and generous padding make it easy to read and scan
through; and the pastel colours make the page light.

(Sticking my nose in where it isn't wanted...) The toolbar looks really
great but it feels a bit over-designed and too heavy for a functional
interface which will sit atop of existing websites. I'm especially referring
to the typography, the uppercase serif lettering seems inappropriate for
this type of interface. Just my opinion, obviously discard it at will.
