Forum:Wikia Custom Skins

On Wikia custom skins, it states "If you have made changes to the site skin, and would like to add the example to this page then please do." but it also states "This is a gallery of some of the best customizations so far on Wikia."

I wonder if the CSS Changes I've done on the Gaiapedia would fit on that page.

You can look at the style all over the site Gaiapedia. And you'll see rounded edges, a sidebar merged smoothly with the content of the page. The Ads and the user bar have nice little sections to them that not only improve the look, but also don't make the Ads look like a hideous addition to the site. The Category box has been changed so that The "Category(s)" shows up above the list of categories and the background of the box has been layered so that no matter the size of the box it looks perfect. The Buttons for Go And Search have also been tricked into displaying images that are similar to the buttons used on the actual site being documented (The Search Button was taken from a existing button, and the Go button was a modification for that purpose)

Also, other than the background which is a match to some of the images on the documented site, pages in the Item and NPC namespaces have backgrounds meant for those namespaces. Using JS a style override template is added and allows for special page only changes, such as on Valentines_2k6 and Grunny which have special backgrounds related only to the current page.

Although, I do have a current issue where there's a break on the sidebar. In Opera it will drop down to the bottom, but when you implement a fix for it, Safari will do the same thing when without the fix it is fine. So I'm considering some way to fix that, which may half to require something placed into the HTML of the Skin for that to be fixed unfortunately.
