Forum:How to change the skin of the answers wiki

Hi to everyone. I have a problem, I have an answers wiki and I do have a skin, but the colors inside the page are too simple (blue and black). Is there a way to change that? Also, In the main page the two columns should be the same size, as the left column is bigger than the left side. If anyone could help, it would be great. Thanks in advance, -- ( (  (  (  Matias   )  )  )  )  ~  Talk   IRC  16:33, June 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * To say the sub answers skins are poorly documented is being overly kind. I would use Special:Contact and post the response you get here. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 2:32 PM PST 5 Jun 2010


 * From minimal experimentation, it looks like the sub answers skin doesn't really honor MediaWiki:Monaco.css or Special:MyPage/monaco.css changes, but does seem to honor MediaWiki:Common.css changes.
 * For example, you can change the article background color with the below in MediaWiki:Common.css:

 * Well, it seems that there are just three problems and then the wiki will be perfect. First, here you can see that there is a white line above Welcome to Avatar Answers. What would you like to know?, I would like it to be black. Second, on the same page, the question is black and the background is black as well, so the question would need to be white. And finally, here (although this would work in all the wiki), if you scroll down it is too black, is there a way to add a white border to the main square? I you could help me it would be great!

I'm not sure i'm seen the same thing that you're describing :

 * Yes, that is what I see. -- ( (  (  ( <font color="00AAFF"><font face="Papyrus" size="2"> Matias   )  )  )  )  ~ <font face="Papyrus" size="2"> Talk  <font face="Papyrus" size="2"> IRC  22:09, June 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * MediaWiki:Common.css is the right place to be editing the stylesheet on new answers sites at the moment. It's important that if you define a background color that you also define a font color so that you don't end up with black text on a black background. I see that Game widow created the original skin for this wiki. Have you talking with her about the changes you'd like to see? Angela (talk | help forum) 01:23, June 6, 2010 (UTC)
