Forum:Changing my skin... some questions

Hello fellow Wiki'ers,

I'm currently busy changing my skin. It currently looks like this. As you can see there's still a lot of work to do. At the moment I'm trying to figure out how to change that tan-ish colour that you see in the monaco bar as well as the 'Image slideshow' and 'activity' titles. How can I do that? I'm probably overlooking something, but can't see what. --- Zantam03 ( Talk ) 13:11, September 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well I've gotten pretty far, but I still have some questions..


 * I'm thinking about changing the font of the wiki, how can I do that and which font-types can I use?
 * I want my infoboxes to look similar to the menu's on the left. How can I do this? And if I do this will I still be able to have infoboxes in different colours?
 * The names of the menu's on the left (activity & image slideshow) are gone. Where in Monaco.css can I change the colour of these names?
 * When using Google Chrome the bottom of the navigation menu uses the .png file that I set for it twice. This doesn't happen when I use Opera browser, so I guess this is some sort of JS problem. How can I fix this?

 * thought you may get into issues as the sizes of boxes and stuff that don't match now...
 * Some do it by creating 3 main classes (head, body, end) and then adding those classes to their infobox format. You can have as many colors as you want just need to clone the CSS of those 3 classes change a bit the name, then the code and add/change the class in your infobox format.
 * Thats because you are using !important! on .color1 thats a very generic class used on many places and will keep giving you issues, and if you remove that important then the color is determinate by the code where you set the background image. The only 2 ways you can add the effect you want is by removing that !important and adjust where is need or add  but this may give you issues in the future.
 * Don't know this but there is a JS in your Monaco.css page that it should not be there as its only breaking the next CSS code (users personal CSS or global.css codes)


 * Thanks very much for the answers.
 * Ok thanks, I think I'll skip this idea.
 * Do you perhaps have a link to a wiki who has done that? I'd like to see an example
 * Thanks, that worked :-)
 * I think you mean the Google Analytics code. I removed it
