[Wikipedia-l] Cologne Blue

Even though I desinged the "standard" skin for wikipedia, I think Marian's
"Cologne Blue" skin looks way better.

I hereby suggest that "Cologne Blue" becomes the standard skin. New
software, new server - a new standard skin comes natural ;)

Everyone, please, go to www.wikipedia.com (or beta.wikipedia.com, if the
former is unavailable again), log in and turn on "Cologne Blue" in your
preferences. I suggest sidebar on the left, but that's up to you;)

CB (for short) not only looks better, it is less *technical*, thus not
scaring away non-techie newcomers. The first look at a site often decides if
one hits the back button. So, either have the current skin, designed for
easy implementation, or CB, created by a professional designer!

Let me hear some opinions.

Magnus
