Talk:WikiTheme

First draft comments

Very smart! I like it.

One minor quibble - is it possible to disable the arrow logo for every link?

For the randomness factor - can you pull different pictures from the gallery instead of the pirates picture? (Can't claim credit for that suggestion - it's pabs')

I'd be interested what it looks like in different resolutions on different browsers, so give us a shout when you're happy with it to upload to the server as an option.

Agreed on the arrows.

I'd prefer "animation in the free world" as the slogan at the top - would that be translatable too?.

About the colours, I'd like to see more vibrancy in the deep blue, and a deep blue for the background instead of black. Perhaps a light blue instead of white, and some colour rather than the greys.

About the randomness: not sure how possible that is, I think we just need to edit the front page every now and then to change the image (gallery page needs some love too, I wonder if mediawiki can pull in RSS feeds??). I planned to make the "Beautiful art inspires the community" thing spread across the page so we could have maybe 2 rows, 4 images wide. When I tried it out I didn't really like the result though and didn't have enough images for it.

I'd like to see a video/image of the week/month in the left sidebar too.

About the language links, is that part of a plugin or the skin rather than the page content? If not it would be great if that could be added as per the instructions in WikiTranslation.

There is extra vertical space between a second level bullet point and the first level bullet point after it.

Rore 05:17, 4 April 2008 (EDT): I like the idea of adding images to the banner. But without the "tv-screen" lines please ;) Also, I would love to see some "quick links" like in a "real" website and not a wiki. For example this. I took myself as an "example user" (ok, that's maybe not the best choice ;)), and the links I added in the bar are the 1st ones I always look for when I discover a new software. Hm, maybe I even forgot the "download" one.

Quick comments: I like the overal re-design. Would like to see more contrast on the "PROJECT" word below SYNFIG. Agree with rore about the TV-screen lines and on the arrows for external links. Maybe internals with dashed underlines and countinous underlined for external. Also agree with the video or image of the week. I would like to add some highlighted link to the download page. Most of the poeple that would visit the page only search for help, or download and install. --Genete 06:57, 4 April 2008 (EDT)

I cannot edit the wiki with the new skin. It comes back to the old skin once I login. --Genete 19:01, 4 April 2008 (EDT)

You need to change your preferences pabs 02:41, 6 April 2008 (EDT)

The display is broken on 800*600 too, the text on the right of the page can't be read because it's black on black. Not sure how to fix that. The minimum readable size seems to be over 1000px in width. That's too wide, IMO. And the right most column is still on a black bg instead of white. To have something perfect, the width must be >1200px ... :( Rore 03:17, 5 April 2008 (EDT)

The images at the top embed the slogan into them instead of making the slogan text and rotating the slogan.

The javascript buttons on the top of the edit form are no longer there.

The Mediawiki:Sidebar should move to the sidebar and the hardcoded links should be at the top

pabs 03:29, 5 April 2008 (EDT)

Need more links in the toolbox sidebar thing
