Forum:Monaco Hedgehog skin

As noted by Sega-Sonic ages ago, the headers of the Monaco Gaming skin don't have the right look for a wiki about Sega properties. I agree, so I've proposed a largely modified version of the Gaming skin which I've dubbed the Hedgehog skin. The headers have a shade of white and bright grey to reflect the usage of white in Sega's promotions and website, as well as reflecting Sonic's birth on Christmas Island. Usage of blue has been increased, and external links are now yellow for better visibility. If you want to preview it, copy the CSS from User:Wikada/monaco.css and paste it into your namespace like mine but with your name instead of Wikada, and save the page. If you want to go back to another skin, just blank your CSS page and it should go back to normal. If you have any comments, post them below.

I have another version at MediaWiki:Monaco.css which includes a custom background strip. Feel free to leave comments on that layout versus the other one, and background strip feedback. The background strip is posted below:

I've uploaded a different background strip in case you want to look at that one too:

[[Media:Background_strip_plain.png]]

This one I personally think is better than the other strip because it's simple but still pleasing to look at. If you want to preview that, change the background strip css in your namespace to this: background: #09101D url(http://images.wikia.com/sega/images/b/b2/Background_strip_plain.png) repeat-x; border-color: #0587FF; } Finally, you can see a plain background by changing it to this: background: #09101D; border-color: #0587FF; }
 * 1) background_strip {
 * 1) background_strip {

The things I'd like you all to respond to are: If you have any issues previewing the CSS, feel free to ask me for help on my talk page. Wikada ( Talk ) admin 12:23, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) Do you like the Hedgehog skin? Which changes would you like to see to it?
 * 2) Do you want a background strip with: gradient and images, only gradient, or plain coloured?
 * 3) If you want one of the gradient backgrounds, would you like one with the bottom colour scheme or the top one?


 * I like the gradient background to the wiki logo - it isn't as weird as the first one or as dull as the second one. As noted by me seconds ago, the headers of the Hedgehog skin have the right look for a wiki about Sega properties. I agree. Wadu [[Image:Shadowrivals.png|50px]]

 * We're now switching to the Hedgehog skin. We'll use the gradient background, and the links above will no longer work. Wikada  ( Talk ) admin 15:33, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
