Speaking of skins, I've been hoping for a stylesheet that is more suitable for the 'advanced' user - something that makes it easy to do things as quick and efficiently as possible.
I've created a full finished page, and put it out on my webserver. All of the CSS is in this one file (instead of linking against the standard CSS file, which I can't edit.)
Here are some notes, but I got tired of writing them down after a while:
- a.stub has identical elements in both the HTML and the external CSS
file. [removed one] 2) #quickbar a.new is broken (CC2200 should be #CC2200) [fixed] 3) JabbaSkript is removed. 4) CSS is in alphabetical order (tons easier to read and much clearer). 5) Removed the pull-down and Go button from topbar. 6) Removed bgcolor from <body> 7) Removed Main Page, Recent changes, Edit this page, and Older versions from the topbar. 8) Removed the <p> under "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia." 9) Removed Wikipedia logo. 10) Abolished 'article' CSS section (the article is the content, isn't it?) 11) Moved 'footer' out of 'content' section. ...
Anyways, here is where you can take a look: Original: http://www.twoevils.org/files/wiki/Rabbit.html Revamped: http://www.twoevils.org/files/wiki/Rabbit-minimal.html
It uses CSS2 heavily, and so it probably won't render in any non-compliant browser (which is fine for 'alternative' skins, I hear).
Nice, but your fixed div at the top is too short for my default font size, so the text is truncated. You probably need to set the div height in ems. And I prefer lower contrast than black on white.
I could never figure out how to set high in ems, when you were going to have inline buttons. I would do that if I could. Maybe just set it to like 2 or 3ems, and deal with it.
As for contrast, I will probably change that. It was just a quick mockup. :) You can have hot pink text on a yellow background. :P (j/k)
