Hey Oscardog, can you do me a fave and change the background to black and the text to white? That's all I ask of you.

I believe he's working on a darker template now. - Demon - ^{Talk .:|:. Happy-Wiki Project}

Yup. There will be a Black Skin released as soon as it is ready. If i were to just give you black back-ground with white text it would look really bad :P --OscardogTalk.::.Admin

I look bad myself!! If it were black with white text I'd be fine with it. t9992

• Hello Oscardo. Could you please change the site to a black chrome style template? lol, thanks! ;) I can get you a picture of an example; I know hotmail.com has changable color themes - they have a black one. ;) - Demon - ^{User page | Talk | Happy-Wiki Project} 12:28, 15 February 2008 (CET)

Yeh i was looking to a black one. When i find out how to add skins to your preferences, i will add a black one. For now i will use you as a "guinea pig" to test the skin, i'll let you know when its done. --Oscardog^{Talk.::.Admin}

12:57, 15 February 2008 (CET)

And a screenshot would be good, more detail also. Obviously alot is black, i'd say borders have to be bright... White or a light Green... Hey what about a matrix Skin? :D --Oscardog^{Talk.::.Admin}

13:07, 15 February 2008 (CET)

Oh, here. lol ok, use a .. 

@ Faded neon green if you can, don't want to over power witht he contrast. 

@ Letters and such should be offset white, on the grey side. 

@ Side bars should be more grey towards black. 

When i mean black background, i don't mean solid black, i'm talking an offset     
black, that way it doesnt make such a crazy contrast. 

Also, if you can use html, you can change the side scrolling bars to a black
background, rather than the present white. ;) only suggestions, I used to toy  
around often on various forums and i've seen chromish formats on forums.

Oh, another thing to look into - Why you're added green, you can add chromish grey
in other places to vary it a bit. ;) play around with it, when you get a sample,  
link me to a screen-shot on my talk page and i'll comment it.
My massive comment is done, - Demon - User page | Talk | Happy-Wiki Project 23:02, 15 February 2008 (CET)

I have better version, but not uploaded - you can delete it when you're done with it.

Ah ok. For future reference, never name an image "example/Example" as when you use the edit-tool button it puts [[Image:example.jpg]]]. How do you personlise Hotmail, so i can get steal there code and get the colours ;) --Oscardog^{Talk.::.Admin}

12:17, 16 February 2008 (CET)

Dont worry, found it :) --Oscardog^{Talk.::.Admin}

12:20, 16 February 2008 (CET) Its coming together nicely, the only problem i have is that i cant show you properly... most of it is complete, obviously i need your opinion when i get it working, and then make more corrections. The only problem i current have is the logo, it kinda ruins the skin but i cant remove it(Im not allowed). There is a wide variety of colours, mostly greys-blacks and greens(With the occasional White and Orange for some important features). I will keep up the work, i still think it can be improved(But so can all skins). --Oscardog^{Talk.::.Admin}

Oscar, if which logo would that be? The bird? or the MediaWiki at the bottom? You could try 
stealing the image, inverting it, and putting it back on in that new state for that skin. ;) 
You gota think of ways around these minor obstacles :P - Demon - User page | Talk | Happy-Wiki Project

The TW logo, to.. left :) And i cant change it, i dont have access to the code that defines the logo(Its held on the Innogames server).. So it'll have to stay and look not so good. --Oscardog^{Talk.::.Admin}

Mm.. can't you put a box around that region and give it another
color? that would make it look better, just give it a border that
matches background. ;) - Demon - User page | Talk | Happy-Wiki Project

I can do that :) I'll add a border to match, and possibly a background colour that suits, depending how it looks after the border is added. But its coming along nicely :) --Oscardog^{Talk.::.Admin} 11:23, 17 February 2008 (CET)

This should work (I haven’t tested it in IE, but it works in Firefox):
/* this rule courtesy of WulfTheSaxon */
#p-logo > a[style="background-image: url(/skins/common/images/twwiki.png);"]
    {background-image: url(/whatever/twwiki-dark.png) !important;}

Could ya please change the rim of the search box to a darker color (don't mind which) and the tabs at the top to the right please, thanks!! Akira Otomo, the Wiki Ninja ^{(Talk | Contributions | Happy-Wiki Project)} Help me become a Moderator, support me!! 20:40, 17 February 2008 (CET)

Tabs at the top? The "User Page" and "Discussion" and "Edit" etc buttons? Well if you give me a screenshot of what it looks like on your screen, and where you kinda want them to be... Because as an Admin i have extra buttons, so my bar at the top is pretty full. I can do the Darker colour for the search tho. Will do it soon. --Oscardog^{Talk.::.Admin}

NO!! actually, could you do Demon's style for me please!! sorry about putting NO!! at the beginning, Akira Otomo, the Wiki Ninja ^{(Talk | Contributions | Happy-Wiki Project)} Help me become a Moderator, support me!! 20:47, 17 February 2008 (CET)

lol - Demon - ^{Talk .:|:. Happy-Wiki Project}

actually, could ya make this as 'my skin' rather than monobook please, incase i wanna switch back, thanks!! akira

I wasnt going to edit the Monobook :) I will put it on your Custom Skin when i active it.. >.< But yeh dont worry, im clever :) --Oscardog^{Talk.::.Admin}

Can't you take a screen-shot and post it on tinypic? :S i wana see x] - Demon - ^{Talk .:|:. Happy-Wiki Project}

When Oscars done it for me, i will, thanks oscar, but any way, what'd ya find so funny? Akira.

I was talking to Oscardog x} - Demon_SysOp - ^{Talk .:|:. Happy-Wiki Project}

what's with the moustache? --->{ in the :{ AO

R U sure there isn't some sort of a thing for showing us what it'll look like? AO

Well as of yet the Custom CSS's dont work. Im awaiting clarification from an awesome friend of mine from another wiki. He will tell me if Custom CSS's need to be enabled, if so i will get on to wiki tech people :) Skin is coming together nicemely, when i think its near completition i will post a few Screenshots. At the moment, i have issues with tables.. But it'll be fine, i think im getting close :) --Oscardog^{Talk.::.Admin}

Thanks for doing this, you rock!

Is it screen shot time yet? AO

Nearly. Patience :) I have not worked on it for a little while as i have been busy with other things. --Oscardog^{Talk.::.Admin}

Aah, yes -- with all the SysOp decisions and Admin duties 'n' stuff. Hey, are you going for Admin of Tribal Wars Game? AO

Nope. After seeing how CRAP Innogames are, and how they never reply to one of there top free workers(Morthy) im not going to bother. --Oscardog^{Talk.::.Admin}

leujohn

Hey Oscardog can you change my backgound from brown to blue? Thx Lemon 10:02, 21 February 2008 (CET)

When custom skins are functional, yes :) --Oscardog^{Talk.::.Admin}

I think adding color differences to Monobook would be nice, such as letting you choose the color scheme, but still using monobook. Along with the dark one, I wouldn't mind a blue oriented one. ;)

One at a time :) Once a black one is sorted, then the code just needs to be altered for the colour, obviously to an array of colours. So there would be:

• Monobook(Black)
• Monobook(Blue)
• Monobook(Pink) (Or not...)
• Monobook(Green)
• Monobook(Rainbow!) (Maybe.. Depends how it looks lol)

And so on :) --Oscardog^{Talk.::.Admin}

Sounds nice - Preview yet? :3 You never said if those new pics were alright. :O - Demon

Havn't had time to test yet. I have a feeling they will to too big, i will let you know :) Maybe need to be reduced to 10px but i will let you know! --Oscardog^{Talk.::.Admin}

First Impressions

Now by no means is this finished, and i wish i could give you a broader look but at this current moment that is not possible. Yes there are things i dont like at this current time, such as the colour of the TOC links.. But they wont change, and i dont think they can be changed without all other links being changed! Ignore the overflow on the TOC as its just the image, it doesnt overflow. The white text is changeable, i just didnt know what else to put so for know its white. Thoughts and opinions please, and suggestions on what to change! This image:

--Oscardog^{Talk.::.Admin}

Leave your comments below, using a bullet point! --Oscardog^{Talk.::.Admin}

• I like the colors, very pleasing to the eye and much softer than the previous contrasts. However, view any History page, and the highlight is horrible. :X It makes it nearly illegible. - Demon_SysOp - ^{Talk .:|:. Happy-Wiki Project}

View page?:S What highlight? :P --Oscardog^{Talk.::.Admin}

And how are you viewing all these pages :P You must of got the CSS, but where are you using it as custom CSS dont seem to work. Explain! :) --Oscardog^{Talk.::.Admin}

Lol you have it enabled, because when I opened the page it started right up as this. ;) all of my pages are using the new CSS, i'm on FireFox. Read my Talk page for the other suggestions - if you haven't.

>.< No you just loaded the website when i was in mid-testing. Pres Ctrol+F5 to refresh the cache and back to normal once ur done exploring. Umm i'll wait for more comments, then make changes all at once. --Oscardog^{Talk.::.Admin}

HAHA I have excellent timing then, I can explore the whole site for you. ;)

• File:Highlights.JPG ^ ew :\

Lol yeh i know. I am looking over the CSS now to find the flaw, what colour would you like it changed to? (Color code would be awesome lol). --Oscardog^{Talk.::.Admin}

Seen the image "wierd" i will have to load firebug to get the ID of it, and then change it from there. --Oscardog^{Talk.::.Admin}

Mmm... its at the bottom of the page aswell (in the Category area).. Also, in headings there are .. odd highlightings??

• File:Weird.PNG

I think for the highlights (not the one above) you can use color code 336666 looks nice with the off black. o.O I tested it in Paint.

Well since you're so far ahead of me, you've already seen the picture. I'm posting it anyway, so hmph.! - Demon_SysOp - ^{Talk .:|:. Happy-Wiki Project}

Yeh recent changes is a wonderful page... So category, and headings on pages have the wierd highlight? On alot of special pages then? (Dont s'pose you have MSN, it'd be alot easier lmao) --Oscardog^{Talk.::.Admin}

Oh, it also hasn't affected tables, so text in tables without a background can't be seen. All templates without a background need to be remade without black text o.O' - Demon_SysOp - ^{Talk .:|:. Happy-Wiki Project}

Demonviper16@msn.com ;)

• Oh, yes!! This rocks!! If you could do something with the headings, becuase they're in black, that would be awesome!!
• You could change them to white or green, don't mind which, but you don't have to if you find it problematic!
  

Thanks!! AO

• Yo, dudishes, mine has gone back to the normal! I'll close my browser to see ... AO

I believe once you either refresh ur cache (Ctrl+F5) or reload the page by going to another site and returning it will revert to normal. What headings? --Oscardog^{Talk.::.Admin}

Tried that, it hasn't been workin' for months on mine ... can you try it again? AO Oh, and the haders as in the section headers, wasn't workin' for me.

Im sure your back to the traditional TW style... Newyz there have been rapid evolvement in skin and its nearing completion, as a new logo is imminent from Demon it has to be checked against the new skin and then custom skins has to be sorted so that people can use it for a few days so they look at most of the pages to verify all is ok. The beta testers will be announcced in due course, so no pestering :) --Oscardog^{Talk.::.Admin}

U rok my sox! AO

Psulliva

Oscardog, I would love to see an olive green skin. My favorite color. If you can I would love it.

Once the first black skin have been fully developed there will be a huge range of different colours for the monobook skin ranging from the traditional wikipedia, green, blue, red if you want a colour skin that doesnt exist yet, im sure it will be added. :) --Oscardog^{Talk.::.Admin}

Thank you.

BLEEJ

Oscardog, Im new here, hi! So I would like a nice dark red for the greyer background part of the screen, and the rest can be a nice dark brown and for the side parts like community and search boxes i would like them to be a greyerblackish white thing, thanks! :)

There will be more skins coming shortly, i doubt they will match this description but im sure there will be something to your liking. --Oscardog^{Talk.::.Admin}
