Hi design people! I don't know if any of you are familiar, but Brickimedia (
http://www.brickimedia.org and
http://enwp.org/mw:Brickimedia) is currently
working on a redesign for its skin (
http://enwp.org/mw:Skin:Refreshed). The
source for the redesign can be found at
https://github.com/Brickimedia/Refreshed/tree/refreshed-beta and a live
preview can be found at

A goal behind this redesign was to make navigation easy for visitors and
users alike. Using an interface similar to many other popular websites, the
redesign allows for more customisation from a navigation standpoint. The
skin not only allows for a customisable sidebar like every other skin, but
also has customisable links in the header for wikis to add popular links
in. Wikia has a similar capability in its skin. This header customisation
can be seen at

.
I don't know if any of the design ideas behind the Refreshed skin's
redesign would be useful to you, but some things I think, especially the
improved customisation of the navigation, would be useful to either be
incorporated into Winter or something other design project.
Also, if you have any feedback or ideas, it'd be great if you could give
them to me or leave them at

Thanks,
George Barnick
