Forum:What are the JS/CSS pages for the new skins?

I currently have a lot of goodies installed in my Monobook.js and Monobook.css. But those are ignored if I switch to the new skins. My favorite of those was Quartz-Sapphire. Will (Talk - contribs) 02:35, 12 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Monobook.js is depreciated, you're not supposed to be using it anymore. For any skin you are supposed to be using MediaWiki:Common.js now. If you are doing any code that is skin specific there is a 'skin' variable, so if you want to do some stuff that you normally would only put in MediaWiki:Monobook.js you instead just put it inside of an if like.
 * As for the styling, the page for changing the coloring of a Quartz theme is MediaWiki:Quartz.css, after you edit it you can make the custom version the one to view by going to Special:Preferences as an admin, and selecting 'custom' in the dropdown at the bottom extra section. There is no current way to alter the styling for individual Quartz skins because the styles of those are meant to be predefined. If you want to add some css for the content area you should use MediaWiki:Common.css. You can get more information on quartz customization at w:c:inside:Quartz Skin Customization. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Dec 12, 2007 @ 04:29 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I don't see any wikis that replace a lot of the stuff I have in my Monobook.js. This include Edit Top (edit section #0), WikEd, popups, and more. Sorry, but the new editor that is available with the new skins is a lousy replacement for WikEd. Will (Talk - contribs) 05:18, 12 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Eh, are you jumping to another topic? The WYSIWYG editor has nothing to do with Skins. And even less to do with what is in your wiki's JS. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Dec 12, 2007 @ 07:02 (UTC)

No. I am trying to get my goodies and Quartz working together. I don't want to give up WikEd and some of the other stuff I use. Will (Talk - contribs) 20:26, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
 * As it turns out, the author of wikEd, Wikipedia:User:Cacycle, was able to tell me that I needed to use "quartz.js" and "quartz.css" (for any needed CSS). Will (Talk - contribs) 03:10, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
