Yeah, how come the Grand Theft Wiki has a different skin to the rest of us, i.e. no ads, etc. Also, how come they have a huge banner crossing the whole page, I want that? Andre666 15:23, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

They have community skin, as some other wikias do, but they have adverts just as everyone else (including huge annoying google banner), so.... I don't see anything odd out there. SkywalkerPL 18:07, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
- Well how do you get this so-called "community skin"? I want mine to have a large banner like that and have the old skin as they have. Andre666 18:51, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

They didn't do anything mysterious. They are using Monaco. You can see the customizations they made in their monaco.css.

They added a background image to #background_strip:

#background_strip {
   background: #000010 url(http://images.wikia.com/gtawiki/images//b/b5/Banner.jpg) no-repeat;
   border: 0;
   height: 178px;
}

They changed the positioning of #wikia_page so it's right below #background_strip, it's not covering it:

#wikia_page {
   margin-top: 0;
   top: 0px !important;
}

They hid the site logo:

#wiki_logo{
   width:0;
   height:0;
}

And sized the link so it covers a fairly large area of #background_strip including the text "Grand Theft Wiki":

#wiki_logo a{
   margin-top:10px;
   width:500px;
   height:170px;
}

They forgot to adjust the position of #monaco_footer, so currently most of it is obscured by the article; the missing rule would be

#monaco_footer {
   top: 20px
}

djinni wiki also is doing something similar, however I'm not seeing ads on their site. -- LordTBT ^Talk! 22:20, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

They also have a problem on the main page :
