Christensen, I can't recommend this book based on experience, but I can recommend it based on its existence ;-) MediaWiki Skins Design *http://www.packtpub.com/mediawiki-skins-design/book * On Fri, Jan 9, 2009 at 6:15 AM, Christensen, Courtney < ChristensenC@battelle.org> wrote:
Hi WikiMedians,
This question is for any of you who have developed a skin. I imagine you are constantly tweaking your skins, but how long does it take you to make a workable one? I recently had to make a skin from some images made by a graphic design shop. I made it look great, just like the pictures, but I forgot a lot of the functional things, like the table padding my users were used to or the new class on links to non-existent pages. I'm thinking skin development is a thankless job that requires attention to detail and more stamina and persistence than I seem to have.
So give me a yardstick. How long does it take to develop a well-rounded skin on average?
Thanks! Courtney Christensen
