Forum:New skin for Central

Hi, I've just put up a draft of a new skin for Community Central. It still needs some tweaking, the logo needs a tidy and I think the background could be more subtle, but hopefully it shows the general idea. Thanks to those who got it working :)

The goal is for the wiki to have the same general color scheme as www.wikia.com, but with a softer feel. Please let me know what you think! -- sannse (talk) 04:41, April 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Love the vibe and atmosphere of the background image. :D -  5 əb'7 aŋk (7alk ) 12:03, April 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Aarg, the links are too dark. Ajraddatz Talk 13:55, April 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * It is looking awesome. I disagree with Ajraddatz here. The logo does need some tweeking, as I see some white spec's around the edge of some of the letters.. --Lcawte 14:59, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

So the logo is now tidier and the background is a bit more subtle - it matches the colours of the stripes on www.wikia.com now. Uber also did some other fixes. Let me know if there are more tweaks you think needed... and then maybe it's time to think about a new main page :) -- sannse (talk)

Yeah I got something. The image right now is of a forced size. My screen is wide enough to force me the light blue bar at the right and when I scroll downward I can see another huge strip (in fact I can see it partly without even scrolling, lol). Would be nice if it would automatically expand to the entire background, filling it. And the black dropdown buttons a pretty ugly (maybe give them the same light blue?). Finally the green wikia buttons seem out of place, maybe they should get a light blue color as well? -- Light Daxter |  Talk  19:07, April 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Perhaps the page bar and the and header buttons could be dark grey rather than black, because that would be a better match to the home page's menu bar. I would prefer having the green buttons; the point is match the feel of the wiki to the corporate wiki, and the corporate wiki has the green buttons.
