User blog comment:Dopp/Updates to Wikia Mobile/@comment-188432-20120418154348

I'd like to say how impressed I am with this element of Wikia development. It seems like almost every day I use my iPhone I see something that's an actual, demonstrable improvement.

What I'd like to know, though, is how we admin at the local level can partner with you in order to customise the mobile skin. There are a number of things we've done at w:c:tardis which depend on tables — in some cases colour coding in tables. Since the basic approach to the mobile skin is to simply strip away the tables, meaning and context inherent in the tables is stripped as well.

Is there something we can do to change the way certain things look in mobileso that a single template renders one way normally and another way in mobile?

For instance, I've put a warning message system on hold because it depends a bit on color coding of warnings. (See tardis:user talk:Original Authority) Also, our disambiguation notes at the top of articles completely disappears in mobile, last time I checked. (See tardis:Adric.)

I know there's a way to use a  declaration in CSS to define how something looks on certain screens, but will that work with the Wikia Mobile skin? I'd much rather just be able to define something in a Mobile-specific CSS file, the same way we do with Monobook and Wikia currently.
