− | In order to '''create a dark Monaco skin''' (i.e. white text on a dark background), you will need to do more customization than for a light skin, but it is entirely possible. You can see a dark skin in action on [[wowwiki:|WoWWiki]]. |

||
− | == What do I need to do? == |
||
− | In order to make sure a dark skin will not cause problems for users who choose to use a light skin, you will need to put all layout and light skin coloring in a separate CSS file, MediaWiki:Common.css (this should always be done whether or not you are customizing a skin). |
||
− | |||
− | ''Note that this method will currently unavoidably cause problems for the "Gaming" theme.'' |
||
− | |||
− | This is because the load order for a dark wiki is: |
||
− | # MediaWiki:Common.css |
||
− | # MediaWiki:Monaco.css |
||
− | |||
− | Whilst users on a light skin (Monaco, monobook) will only get: |
||
− | # MediaWiki:Common.css |
||
− | |||
− | In summary: |
||
− | * [[MediaWiki:Common.css]] for all article and template layouts, and light skin coloring. |
||
− | * [[MediaWiki:Monaco.css]] for all dark skin coloring. |
||
− | |||
− | == Where do I start? == |
||
− | Your best bet is to look at WoWWiki's [[w:c:wowwiki:MediaWiki:Monaco.css|MediaWiki:Monaco.css style sheet]]. It is intended to skin the entirety of Monaco without bugs. |
||
− | |||
− | It is split into four sections, most of which are commented: |
||
− | * The first section covers the basics of switching Monaco to a dark style. You will want to copy all of this. |
||
− | * The second section covers more design tweaks, and fixes some bugs. You will want to copy most of this. |
||
− | * The third section lists WoWWiki-specific template and article designs. You should not need this, though it may be of interest. |
||
− | * The fourth section is a testing area. This is unlikely to be of use, unless it contains a bug fix. |
||
− | |||
− | For reference, all WoWWiki's layout and light skin CSS is on the [[w:c:wowwiki:MediaWiki:Common.css|MediaWiki:Common.css style sheet]]. |
||
− | |||
− | Note that these stylesheets are actively updated to deal with issues as and when they crop up. |
||

− | == Examples of dark Monaco skins == |

− | You can find examples of dark Monaco skins on [[Help:Examples of customized Monaco skins]]. Feel free to add your own! |
