[Mediawiki-l] need help with skin edit

[Dave Sigafoos]

Not trying to shill for PacketPub but you might want to get this book.
It does a fair job of explaining how to 'modify' a skin and how to
create a new skill.

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] need help with skin edit

I am a new to CSS and am a wikiSkin novice and have become dizzy trying
to figure out how to make a simple change to my default mediawiki skin.
Could someone please help me with a (hopefully) simple skin
modification.....

...using the Monobook (default) skin (mediawiki 1.6.10), I look at the
"view source" of one of my articles and I see each of the "editable"
sections is contained with the "<div class="editsection"
style=""...><h#>...</h#></div>" tags.

what I wish to do is make the background of this DIV section a color
which is determined by the heading depth...i.e. <h1> is darkest and <h2>
is lighter than <h1> and so forth.

between all the .tpl files, .js files, .css files and everything else
that goes into one skin...i am lost. Could someone give me some
pointers, please.

thanks,
- rich (revansx)
