Forum:Custom theme?

Hey, have you looked at the custom themes around? This is my current favourite. How about some Donkey Kong images along the side? -- Sannse (help forum | blog) 00:47, October 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Excuse me? We are planning on leaving and you want to change our skin?-- Mega  Tron1  XD  Decepticon.png 00:51, October 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * When I viewed Fable Wiki on Oasis, I got the sapphire Monaco default. When actually setting it to Monaco, now I see. I see, so, you expect a custom MONACO SKIN? (my reaction) *Sigh* Give us the details... Wait, so, all of that empty space in Oasis is not for ads? I would put Content>Skin, Sannse. As for DK images, I could gather some and post them in the sandbox.  --Havoc '48   00:55, October 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * She failed on the link. I fixed it. The link was supposed to show Fable wiki in Oasis. Recheck the link. Rappy 01:25, October 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Scratch that; now I see the intended version. This? If anything it's the same as the Monaco skin and it's worse due to the cramped content. Again, content>skin. But I guess we'd be interested. Do you want one big image, like the Donkey Kong Island one, or a bunch of smaller images?  --Havoc '48   01:28, October 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the link fix Rappy.
 * Megatron1, I understand that some of you are planning to leave - which is why I want to make sure that all's well here for those that choose to stay.
 * HavocReaper48, it depends what you think looks good :) I can do a draft version over if you like - admins can change it later if it doesn't work of course -- Sannse (help forum | blog) 23:36, October 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, draft one so we can all see.  --Havoc '48   15:35, October 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Make one for Monobook and one for Oasis.  --Havoc '48   15:36, October 16, 2010 (UTC)

Well, there's one up... maybe a bit too large though (and no, no monobook, these themes don't work well for that :) -- Sannse (help forum | blog) 15:55, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sannse, I fixed your background. =) The DK was backwards in the one you had. I reversed it. But for some reason, this wiki's background doesn't have an extension, so I couldn't upload it to replace the current one. So I uploaded two versions... a .jpg version and a a .png version if someone wants to use either as the background. Rappy 17:49, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't like the background for two reasons:


 * 1) DK'S TIE IS BACKWARDS? I saw you fixed it, Rappy, but, really..?
 * 2) Too retro. Seeing as there's a new modern DK game coming out, I was thinking The jungle wallpaper from here. The one with the trees and DK/Diddy's most recent artwork- File:DK-DKCR.jpg and File:Diddy-DKCR.jpg to be in the background. (ironic, seeing as you're pushing a poorly designed skin intended to be modern and you go with retro DK. Really?) I seriously dislike thew cramped content and the ignoring of Monobook, that's sort of why wikis are leaving. Like this one.  --Havoc '48   20:55, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Heh, OK, the tie was a silly mistake... I think I'll blame it on me not being a gamer ;) (Ironically, Donkey Kong for the N64 was the last game I ever played. I got so frustrated with a room where I had to get Diddy Kong to fly on to big blocks and knock out crocs in far too short a timespan, that I swore off games for good)
 * Rappy: the file extension being missing is a bug I think, but I couldn't use your versions because the file size has to be under 100kb (to help keep the overall size of pages down). I re-uploaded with a fixed tie though.
 * Havoc: I like retro :) but that's just me. I'm happy to re-do with a more up to date DK. The jungle wallpaper looks good, but the image there is a bit small to work from, unless I do some tricky work to expand it... do you know of a bigger version of it?
 * (I'm not ignoring what you've said about leaving btw, I still want to make this wiki look right for anyone who wants to stay, and for any future community that develops here) -- Sannse (help forum | blog) 23:54, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Bigger version. -- Carulosu 03:29, October 18, 2010 (UTC)

I got the tie right this time! :P So... this is a draft, I can do better with the cutting out for the two figures... but is this what you have in mind? Maybe a smaller DK? What about the positioning? It works best for lower resolutions to have the faces very close to the edge, which is why I've cut off the feet/hands a little. any thoughts? -- Sannse (help forum | blog) 03:12, October 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, the articles are horridly cramped but otherwise the skin looks good. Nice to have the jungle theme as a throwback to DK's Super Nintendo glory days and yet have a more modern feel with new artwork.  --Havoc '48   03:34, October 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Cool, if no one has tweaks to sizes/positions of the figures, I'll try and re-do the cut outs at the weekend (I can get the edges cleaner I'm sure) -- Sannse (help forum | blog) 05:45, October 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Congratulations you have achieved one entire complaint forum. There's gonna be way more. Look, why don't you give us some extra room? I am aware this wiki lacks 80,000 articles and all, but, come on, this is completely unfair. You'll see the wall of texts complaints.  --Havoc '48   20:09, October 21, 2010 (UTC)

Bumping, and suggestion: Can you add File:RambiRhinoDKCR.png above Diddy Kong?  --Havoc '48   23:53, October 28, 2010 (UTC)
