 * Are you looking on a wiki that you are an admin on? You need to be an admin to use this tool. If you want to test it out, you can on the theme designer wiki. If not, please give me more details. --Sarah (Help Forum) (blog) 02:40, October 12, 2010 (UTC)

The theme designer is a new tool for the "new wiki look". You can change to it by going to your preferences and chosing the new theme instead of monaco. I have figured that much out. I'm having a major problem with this new tool. The three top buttons: theme, custom, and wordmark are all unresponsive to a click. Also, the wiki preview picture is only a tiny box with scrollbars not a full-page view that would be expected. Is this an error in the system that is being fixed? Or am I doing it wrong?

 * Hi, thanks for helping me! I'm on Google Chrome. Yes I am admin of a wiki. I'm trying to change the background and the designer of the Wiki. Since then I am very confused. We see the "My Tools" on the page: Wikia.com, right? I see, but had no "History". I tried to edit the My Tools, but found no Special: Themedesigner. We see the "My Tools" on the page: http://www.wikia.com/Wikia, right? I see, but had no "History". I tried to edit the My Tools, but found no Special: Themedesigner. Understood, I wish you, Sarah, explain to me how blessed I would find the "Special: Themedesigner".--LigadajustiçaSmallville 14:35, October 12, 2010 (UTC)

 * Hi Sarah, thanks for helping me in the Theme designer! I was the editing and arrived at the "wordmark" and not know the size and scale of the graphic image but the image is ready, lack fit the size available to post on the graphic.--LigadajustiçaSmallville 22:42, October 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * The wordmark must be an png file and 250 x 65 px. You can use a tool like http://pixlr.com/editor/ to adjust it. Cheers, --Sarah (Help Forum) (blog) 23:56, October 20, 2010 (UTC)

Help
Hi, I'm an administrator at Logopedia (Logos Wikia), and I'm wondering about how to change this new wiki look back to the regular Monaco Sapphire skin. I want this for every user, not just for me. Please tell me how to change it back. Thanks! -- Alxeedo TALK 20:04, October 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi Alxeedo, you can change your personal preferences to show Monaco until Nov 3rd for just you. It is not possible to change it back for other users. On Nov 3rd, Monaco will be removed as an option. The "Oasis" theme in the theme designer is similar to sapphire, so you may want to experiment with using that.

Dimensions
What dimensions would work best for the custom background graphic (not the wordmark)? --れび (talk to Lavi!) 01:21, October 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi. It depends a bit on what you want for a background. If it is a pattern that can be tiled, then you can use any size image that you like. If you would like a single image, the vertical height would depend on how far down the page you want it to extend. In terms of width, a single image needs to be wider than 960px, which is the width of the content and sidebar area, or it won't be seen around them. How much wider depends again on what you want to put there (and what you can fit within the filesize limit of 100 kilobytes). As an example, something in the realm of 1400x600 would be reasonable -- it would extend at least halfway down most users' screens; just choose a background color that will look good below it and to the sides on bigger screens. -- Wendy (talk ) 01:01, October 29, 2010 (UTC)

Invisible Wordmark
Hi I am having a problem with my wordmark. I have repeatedly tried using a 250x65 .PNG image and this is what happens. It appears fine in the theme designer so I click save. But then it doesn't show up after I save. I re-open theme designer and the image preview of it (besides the box that says: dont use a graphic) is only a small box with a red X, hinting that the image file is invalid even though it shows up fine when first uploaded.
 * I'm having a similar problem. I have uploaded a background image and a wordmark and it is fine in the designer but when saved doesn't show. I even deleted the old File:Wiki-wordmark.png but it still displays, what is with that? It's a bit worrying that the new skin is supposed to go live in the next couple of days but I can't get a theme working. --Squilibob 22:54, October 29, 2010 (UTC) (sealonline.wikia.com)
 * Hi, I see a wordmark on sealonline.wikia.com, is that not the right one? Or has it showed up now? --Sarah (Help Forum) (blog) 18:47, November 1, 2010 (UTC)

Advanced CSS
Hello, the main wiki I edit on, the Calvin and Hobbes Wiki, has advanced CSS coding in the Common.css file for use on the main page and other pages. I was wondering if I could somehow transfer that code from the Common.css file to another file so that it will also work in the new wikia theme. Thank you, Brovie talk 06:31, November 6, 2010 (UTC)

Multiple Themes
Maybe this is a stupid question, but, as a new Administrator on the Mortal Kombat Wiki, I'm curious if there's a way to make multiple themes. That is to say, allow registered users to choose which theme they'd like to see the wikia displayed as. Is there a way? — C a v a l i e r T u <font COLOR="#bcff00">n <font COLOR="#a5ff00">e <font COLOR="#8eff00">s <font COLOR="#77ff00">t <font COLOR="#61ff00">a <font COLOR="#4aff00">l <font COLOR="#33ff00">k 17:40, December 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Users can use their personal preference to choose between the admin theme or monobook, but there is not a way to set a different theme for different types of users. --Sarah (Help Forum) (blog) 18:59, December 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you, but I think I asked my question incorrectly. I was trying to ask if there was a way to create multiple admin themes that users can choose from under their personal preferences. For instance, if a random user went to his or her personal preferences, could they choose between "Monobook," "Admin Theme 1," "Admin Theme 2," etc. Or can there be only one admin theme? I'm not asking if I can create different themes for different types of users, just if I can create multiple themes for users to choose from under their personal preferences. I hope that was less ambiguous. <font face="tempus sans itc"><font COLOR="#ff6600">— <font COLOR="#ff7900">C <font COLOR="#ff8d00">a <font COLOR="#ffa000">v <font COLOR="#ffb300">a <font COLOR="#ffc600">l <font COLOR="#ffda00">i <font COLOR="#ffed00">e <font COLOR="#ffff00">r <font COLOR="#e9ff00">T <font COLOR="#d2ff00">u <font COLOR="#bcff00">n <font COLOR="#a5ff00">e <font COLOR="#8eff00">s <font COLOR="#77ff00">t <font COLOR="#61ff00">a <font COLOR="#4aff00">l <font COLOR="#33ff00">k 17:56, December 31, 2010 (UTC)

Tables
When I changed the customizable page color (for the background), it messed up the wikitables, making the borders a different color and making the backgroungs match. While the matching/transparent background is fine, is there a way to make the borders stay the default black? <span style="border:4px solid; color:#9999CC; padding-top: 1px; background-color: white; -moz-border-radius:12px 12px 12px 12px; -webkit-border-radius:12px 12px 12px 12px; font-weight: bold;"> Neocarleen •  Talk  09:12, January 17, 2011 (UTC)

Background image does not load properly
Hello, I'm experiencing some problems with my wiki's background image. For some reason, whenever I update the background image, the old one still presents as the current image. I have tried to switch back and forth between old and new images but nothing changed. The small preview images in the file's history indicated that there was nothing wrong with the upload process or the file (at least that is what I think), so I guess there must be some problems with displaying system. Is there anyway to overcome this? Venom00 05:52, February 16, 2011 (UTC)

Theme Choosing.
Recently on DragonVale Wiki was a theme change, which, personally, I hate. Now, I was looking into this regarless, but I would love to know: is there a tool to let people choose their own themes from some set ones? I think the desired parchment effect is just no. With the love this theme is getting I don't think it will be changed, but I would love to change to another theme, hate to stick with this one, and giving other users and anons the choice would make everyone happy. To clarify, a tool to let everyone decide from set themes for their personal browsing. The new one I find literally unbearable. I can't look at it without saying, "ew!". Really, I am just considering leaving since I'm not very active anyway and I hate the design, downing my motivation to visit. If this tool does not exist, please, create it. It would be a great item to add everywhere, because it would cut down on any possible skin arguments and let everybody set the look they want. Also, is it in production at all, if not already available? ~Nibe - DragonVale Bureaucrat - Talk | Blog 06:34, February 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hello, There isn't an easy way to create your own personal view of the wiki. You can modify your personal css and js file to adjust your look, but this can be a bit complicated.

Upload wont work in theme desginer
Hi, im currently working on two wikis as an admin. I'm having a lot of trouble with uploading my own images for backgorunds, wordmarks etc.

All my grapghics fit the size and file type criteria, but when i click upload, nothing happens.

The first wiki, baldursgategame.wiki.com and the second is jackass.wiki.com

These are the two graphic wordmarks i'm trying to upload....



I'm also having the same problem with my jackass facIcon.

Background not uploading?
I believe I have experienced this problem before, but I can't get around it this time. While helping a friend at w:c:thelegospace with the theme, I am unable to make the background image show. Instead of this, it keeps the old background. I tried deleting the wiki-background file and whatnot, but it still doesn't show the new one. Any .css I could add to make the background show? If so, I'd appreciate it. Thanks, - Bug

When I upload the image, it cuts off the outer edges. Why is this?

It's like Wikia "zooms in" on it. I just want the stuff on the edges to be showing, but it simply does work. What is causing this, and how can I fix it?

Dragon Ball Fanon problems
Some problems:
 * 1) The original theme just disappeared on us about halfway through the day of 11/7/2013.
 * 2) Attempts to revert the theme to an earlier version did not bring up any theme. Only a dark purple background remained if any attempt was made.
 * 3) After uploading a new theme (which was not the correct size), I am unable to upload any more. If I upload a new custom-made theme, it shows the original, incorrectly-sized one. Even if I upload a different picture, it will still show that first image. So I'm just completely unable to use this tool. Is there any possible way to get around this glitch-ridden system and get a theme for the wiki at all? -KidVegeta (talk)

Ice Age Wiki
I've been the current admin of the Ice Age Wiki for some time. One thing I've wanted changed on there is the current background. I have found an image from the Ice Age films online that I cleaned up a little so as to make it blank and devoid of characters and promptly uploaded it. However, once I attempted to make that image in particular the Wiki's background, it got cornered to the upper left side of the screen; that is, it technically is the background, but it has shrunken horribly and doesn't cover even a slight bit of the area I intended. I've tried to make the image smaller, I've tried multiple uploads of the same thing over again, but none of it works. This said, might someone be able to lend a hand in correcting the thing once and for all?--Macrauchenia (talk) 02:58, November 15, 2013 (UTC)

Unable to change image on wiki at all for no explainable reason
So about a month ago my wiki, The Slenderman Wiki did a fun november event where we completely changed everything on the wiki to a thanksgiving theme. We changed the background image, link color, and everything else on the theme possible. We then reverted it back and everything seemed fine.

Just today (12/10/2013) I have repeatedly tried to change the image with no avail. I have a jpg file with an appropriate size limit, but no matter what, the image refuses to upload. It pretends it's doing the upload procedure, but then nothing happens. Additionally, while the background image is of Slender: The Arrival, the preview image says I'm using that silly image we posted on Halloween, so the background image and the preview image don't match. I assume this may have started with the "fluid layout" update, because when that came to be, suddenly the graphic had some odd glitch that put a white line through the background and showed only a corner of the overall Slender: The Arrival graphic.

So I can edit everything, but not the background graphic. Attempts to revert to older versions or  changing the theme entirely has been met with absolute failure. Attempts to do so on multiple web browsers, and with a wide variety of random images has met the same fate. I just cannot change the background image. Can I have someone help me fix this glitch? Fobarimperius (talk) 10:10, December 10, 2013 (UTC)

Addendum: I have now tried three times to change the background graphic to another graphic fromthe pre-selectable lst that is provided in the Theme Designer. Some of them, like the red bird on the cloud, seemed to change fine. When I tried to upload, still nothing. I then clicked a different one, the metal plating, and it put the thanksgiving graphic up instead. I tried clicking the police lights, and the graphic then refused to change at all. I reverted then tried clicking the police lights, and it wouldn't show up. Tried clicking the bird again, this time it loaded the metal plating. I don't even understand what's happening now.

I hope you guys can help me out. I am an administrator over at http://darkwood.wikia.com. Whenever I try to change the current graphic wordmark to a new image that complies with all the requirements (dimensions, file type, etc), and then hit the "Save, I'm done" button, the change isn't reflected on the site, as if not saved at all. However, in the preview the theme designer showed everything as it should be, with the new image properly integrated. --Leo McCoy (talk) 14:53, August 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * Does it exceed the file size? Also, what browser are you using? Because it was once bugged with Chrome. Have you tried doing it in multiple browsers?
 * I have tried it with the latest Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Mozilla Firefox, and another Darkwood admin has tried it from his side as well -- all to no avail. The wordmark image I would like to replace the current one with can be found here. Its file size amounts to a mere 22KB only. -- Leo McCoy (talk) 22:28, August 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * Looks like it's an image caching issue. this is your current wordmark on my end --  Ransom Time  14:59, August 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * The image you are linking to is the one that is supposed to be replaced by the new graphic wordmark here. If it's a caching issue, what could be done about it? --Leo McCoy (talk) 22:28, August 9, 2014 (UTC)

The new logo for the Darkwood wiki has suddenly turned up on the site as originally intended. However, the theme designer still won't correctly apply custom images to the site in general, such as triangles.png that I would still like to use as graphic tile for the site background. --Leo McCoy (talk) 12:20, August 10, 2014 (UTC)

Background and Favicon don't change instantly?
I apologize if this has been asked before.

I've been trying to change the background on this wiki to no avail. It keeps showing the older version of background I uploaded much earlier. However, when I changed the background into showing only color, the background changed instantly; but as soon as I uploaded another wallpaper, the background showed the older version (not the one with only color) of background again.

http://softhousechara.wikia.com/wiki/Special:NewFiles

Thankfully, I can at least be sure that the wallpaper was uploaded successfully.

Does this have anything to do with my browser? I have tried switching Chrome to Firefox, still garnering the same result. For addition, I also uploaded a custom favicon earlier this morning, which has yet to appear as well. I'm afraid that the fault might be on my part.

Or maybe I have to wait for both to change? If that is the case, may I know the estimated time?

Main text change
I would like to know how to change Main text on my Wiki. What I mean is, let's take http://youtubepoop.wikia.com/wiki/Duke_Onkled as an example. If you look at the Edit Button, it says Modify. I would like to know how you can change text like that. Hinodusk (talk) 08:12, September 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * If you add "?uselang=qqx" to a page's URL, it will often give you the message name to edit (e.g. in this case you are likely looking for MediaWiki:Edit). However, I recommend against going overboard with changes - they can confuse visitors, and may eventually be something we draw a line on. Special:Contact is a better place to ask this kind of question in future, by the way. 19:51, September 8, 2014 (UTC)

Size issue
I'm trying to upload a background to my new wiki, but when I try to, it says "Incorrect file size". I kept trying it over and over and it still says "Incorrect file size", help! 2005EvimothCity (talk) 16:29, December 22, 2014 (UTC)
