Forum:Changing the logo top left

How do you change the logo on the top left of a wikia? I haven't been able to find it in the help section. I know it was the subject of one of the first questions on this forum. Have old answers been archived somewhere Dr Joe Kiff 19:42, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * For Quartz upload Wiki wide.png
 * For MonoBook upload Wiki.png

 * I tried uploading Wiki.png, but the logo stays the same.
 * I'm using Norwegian wikia, so things are of course translated. Also there's a discrepancy on the help pages. On the front page it says the image cannot be larger than ::135x155, but on the "fine print" it says it cannot be larger than 155x155. Now I've tried both, and both do not work...
 * What am I doing wrong? --Kebman 15:25, October 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * Kebman, first you have to make sure you cleared your cache on your browser. If that doesn't work, upload the image on a different name and then go to Monaco.css and replace the accent_graphic URL with the URL of your new image. That's a lot of stuff, so if you don't understand it I can certainly provide more detailed information (or even help if you want). --DaNASCAT 02:18, October 22, 2009 (UTC)


 * DaNASCAT, I have the same problem, could you please provide me with some more detailed info? It would be a great help for the Wiki I created http://srmthfg.wikia.com Thanks!! TheRTF 13:55, October 25, 2009 (UTC)


 * TheRTF, what I do is essentially what Wiki.png shortcuts. If you go to MediaWiki:Monaco.css on your wiki and (on your wiki at least, create the file if you are an administrator) you can insert the following section of code to do the same thing as upload Wiki.png




 * Where you put your URL where mine from The Third Turn is (and upload it any name you want). Accent_Graphic1 by default links to Wiki.png on your part of the server now.


 * The upside is that it allows you to be more flexible about how exactly the Wiki.png is positioned and . The downside is that you either have to manually specify how big the image is supposed to be if it's slightly different than 155 X 155 or crop your image to the right pixel aspect before you upload it. Here's a few more links that will help. This is definitely more complicated than the Wiki.png option so if you're a pretty new Wikia user, I'd suggest sticking to waiting the extra time now and then to see the changes. However, this stuff will definitely come in handy later on so it's good to know exactly where Wiki.png can be manually changed should you begin to really customize how your Wiki looks.


 * Here is the full Monaco code for The Third Turn. If you find accent_graphic, you can see it's pretty complex but at least it gives you an idea about how much you can play with Wiki.png
