Forum:Custom workaround for Monobook as default skin for wiki site

I have to believe that some fan of the Monobook skin has figured out what to paste into the style sheet at http:// WIKINAME .wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Monaco.css to faithfully emulate the Monobook skin and so allow that to be specified as the site default skin via:


 * Admin Options
 * Set the default theme for this wiki: Custom


 * For custom themes, select the "custom" option in the menu above and specify custom CSS in MediaWiki:Monaco.css.

I have read Help:Customizing_skins and none of the advice or examples at Help:Customizing Monaco or Help:Examples of customized Monobook skins provided this seemingly obvious workaround.


 * If you have successfully used this workaround then please share that style sheet inside ..  tags here.
 * If you've tried this workaround and it went SNAFU then please advise.

 * If you want monobook as the default skin for a wiki, edit MediaWiki:AdminSkin and change the text of that page to monobook. GHe (Talk) 21:00, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
