Hi,
I finally managed to get the new skin working! Adrian and Darix set up a test server, so you can test it under almost real-life terms!
The skin was completely written from scratch, so it is no longer based on MonoBook or other existing MediaWiki styles. This made the skin development a bit picky, because there is no longer a Fallback css (like MonoBook) that covers styles not in the openSUSE css.
This is where I need your help - please test all Special pages on the wiki you can think of, generate and apply templates, upload files ... in short stress-test the skin and tell me what I have missed.
To make it easier for you, I have already put together some pages showcasing tag formatting, structural and content elements as well as links to the most commonly used Special pages.
Two pages are of special interest:
Styles Not Defined Yet: This is a list of styles MediaWiki generates that I have not covered, yet, because I wasn't able to find out on which pages they are used. Maybe you can help me here.
Content Elements: I am planning to add useful classes to the CSS, like the command-line style (.shell). Please add whatever you find useful to this page (with inline css) and discuss them on this list. I will add the ones we all agree upon.
The "this page in other languages" stuff is currently not working - I hope to be able to fix this soon. If a page exists in other languages, you will either see a drop down box in the gray page header (where the edit, discussion links are) - requires JavaScript - or an additional box in the left nav when JavaScript is disabled.
Thanks for all your feedback in advance! Don't expect to hear from me until Thursday, 31 - I will be online very rarely until then. I just went to the test wiki site and for some reason the green text and art turn shades of green and yellow as I move up and down. It was so visually erating that I had to stop and tell you. sorry for the negative first comment.
