Revision as of 12:37, December 16, 2010
I'll be brief, seeing that's how I usually am about wiki stuff in most cases:
Monobook can be customized in somewhat basic ways, see here, and previously on SmashWikia there was a skin change discussion that was closed. Now I would wonder if anyone but me was interested in reviving the idea? --HavocReaper'48 16:15, 23 November 2010 (EST)
- I think minimalist is effective here. Miles (talk) 16:26, 23 November 2010 (EST)
- I basically agree, but I'd say that two areas should definitely be changed from the default Monobook - the background image, and the little icon to the left of the user bar (top-right of the page). Not drastically, but just to give SmashWiki some visual differentiation (use a Smash Bros. icon for the icon, and something relatively simple for the bg. (I've got this as my custom bg right now, but I wouldn't even have the Smash Ball in a "real" version, just the big/faint logo in the top left)
- One other thought - the favicon for the wiki is identical to the SmashWikia, and also disappears a bit on the tab bar in Firefox. Perhaps tinting it blue or somesuch would be a good idea. - Reboot (talk) 23:38, 23 November 2010 (EST)
So what are we thinking for a new favicon? A shrink of the logo? Retain the Smash Bros. symbol with a non-grey colour? The usericon should probably be a small bright (say red) Smash Bros. symbol. Toomai Glittershine 14:55, 27 November 2010 (EST)
- On that basis, four "bright" Smash symbol usericons (14x14 - the area is only 14px tall, for me at least), plus three of those as 16x16 favicons, with the logo also taken down to 16x16 (not sure how recognisable it is at that size, but might as well post and see...):
- - Reboot (talk) 15:54, 27 November 2010 (EST)
- I like the red 16x16 icon for the user icon (that is its size) and the mini-logo for the favicon. Toomai Glittershine 17:32, 12 December 2010 (EST)
- The usericon may nominally be 16×16, but it truncates at 14px high, so if you try to put a 16px tall image, the lowest two pixels will be hidden. Favicons, meanwhile, are square (multiples of) 16×16.
- And, personally, I preferred the navy blue ones. What does everyone else think? - Reboot (talk) 12:20, 13 December 2010 (EST)

These seem to be the favorites. Anyone object? [NB: The favicon will have to be reformatted for use. *.ico isn't on the list of permitted uploads here].
If you want to test the usericon, add:
li#pt-login {background: url(http://www.ssbwiki.com/images/d/db/User.png) top left no-repeat;}
to Special:Mypage/monobook.css. - Reboot (talk) 11:37, 16 December 2010 (EST)
