--- Still differences between internal/external ---

I changed the iconic images for pdf, audio, video, (and added some more for .odp, odt, .zip, etc.), but the new CSS-setting in "MediaWiki:Common.css" is used for styling of internal links only. external links are still styled with data found in main.css.

Only after completely commenting out "a.external ..."-section in /skin/modern/main.css the internal and external links are styled identically.

The declarations with .external are more specific, that's why they're being used, You can make your define work for both, ie. #bodyContent a.external[href $=".pdf"], #bodyContent a[href $=".pdf"]...

Works - thanks!

--- Works not in monobook ---

My own prefered skin is "modern" (but the majority of our users goes with monobook standard). I was not able to achieve my goals in monobook :-( Whatever I tried, not one link is shown with epected style.

I took a deeper look to the brwoser output with Firebug and I see that in "modern" the content of MediaWiki:Common.css is read, but in monobook it looks like there's no MediaWiki:Common.css and even after I copied the news stuff into /skins/monobook/main.css I don't see the expected result.

What I'm doing wrong?

Bypass your cache.

Whatever I tried to eliminate cache-related things, I failed! Then I discovered this:

In modern/main.css the related styles defined like ...

#mw_content a[...]

... in all *other* supplied skins (including monobook) the definitions look line ...

#bodyContent a[...]

I duplicated every "#mw_content a[...]"-definition (needed for modern) in Common.css as "#bodyContent a[...]" (needed for all other skins) and finally it works :-)

Could somebody explain, why there's different style definitions (#mw_content vs #bodyContent)?

First there was nothing...

...and then MediaWiki showed up. ;-) I can't find the link where I read first about all the skins, but possibly it is somewhere on MediaWiki.org actually; Monobook was created far before modern was. 'myskin', 'monobook' and some more skins looks pretty the same, but modern was created in 1.12 < http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgDefaultSkin%3E and uses other id's; therefore, modern uses it's own common, print and such .css'es.
