Forum:New wiki skin

Me and some other users have been thinking about a new skin for the wiki. A skin has m,any positives such as it looks better, thus making it more appealing to new users. If you want to make a skin, you should probably test on User:your username/Monobook.css replacing your username with your username. Or you might have another type of skin you want to change: monaco, quartz, etc. But test on your userspace first. then submit it here, linking to the page. I like the skin here. A couple of minor changes would make it look even better. Thoughts? Cheers, Chicken7   >talk   01:27, 20 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I was thinking of changing the borders, backgrounds, etc., to look like the B-K logo (or rather the B-T logo just for the little paw and talon prints), like a blue background and red boxes (or vise versa) with several-pixel gold borders. If possible, I think it would be great if we could apply the stylistic changes to all the skins using Commons.css without messing with their layouts; it always kind of bugs me when I go onto a wiki with a neat custom skin, but am forced to use that particular skin's layout if I want to see anything. I dunno though, I'll mess around with it some on my Commons.


 * I like that idea. I'll make a background with the footprints off of Banjo-Tooie if you want me to. Does common.css add it to all skins? Cheers, Chicken7   >talk   12:52, 21 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I think I've made a rough idea of blue banjo footprints. It is a little wierd because there is no full footprint in the logo, leaving me to have to join parts together. I'll add it tommorrow. Cheers, Chicken7   >talk   13:41, 7 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Make sure it's positioned correctly so it repeats properly. You might have to copy and paste the print a few times.

Er, I see we're experimenting with a new monobook skin. Did you two discuss this in the chat? I feel left in the dark all of the sudden.


 * I'm sorry. We should've discussed. Umm. We are trying to make a new skin for Monobook, Monaco and quartz and base it on colours on my userpage. I'm making it and Arav is giving me colours. We can't realy go with the footprint skin we disussed awhile ago because I was having trouble getting it right. After I finish this we could always try the footprint one again. Feel free to give your opinions and tips to me. But remember it is still under construction and I don't recommend you use it until I am finished because I have discovered all kinds of bugs and faults. Cheers, 06:57, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
