[Mediawiki-l] What is the ideal width for a Mediawiki skin?

[Ekompute .info]

Hi Katharina, thank you very much for your kind comments. I was not thinking
of blowing up the banner to fill the whole screen. I think this size for the
logo is about right, or maybe add another
10%. I was thinking of having a colored banner so that it doesn't look
too plain. Maybe adding some graphics on the right. I have 8 Mediawiki
sites using this same skin
that I tried to develop with the help of this forum. Sometimes just changing
the color as in
Dummipedia.com<http://dummipedia.com/Gone_with_the_Wind_%28film%29>
.
Yes, regarding the menu bar. I agree with you that the red is hard to read.
But as all my websites have no other contributors except yours truly, I
didn't thought it was a problem. On the contrary, those are empty pages so
if visitors do not see the words, it may actually turn out to be better for
them, LOL.
