Forum:Custom skin and fixed width main page?

Hi SmashWiki. Joe from the Wikia Gaming team here. We were wondering if you guys would like to give the wiki a custom skin to better match the look and feel of the games. If the community is interested, I would be glad to design one. Take a look at these custom skin templates I recently made as possible starting points: red, blue, orange. Of course, the colors can be tweaked, so for example, if you liked the orange skin but wanted to keep the article area white, that's easily taken care of, as well as any other adjustments. Or if you want a custom skin, but don't like any of those templates, I can make one to match whatever color theme the community wants.

I also wanted to ask if you guys would object to having the main page set to a 1024 fixed width (regardless of whether you choose to use a custom skin or not). This is something new we've been doing on some wikis. Here's one example. None of the content on your main page would have to be changed. A cool thing you can do with a fixed width main page is to display images on both sides. (example) So if you know of a few large, hi-res images that you'd like to use (preferably transparent, but if not, I can make them transparent), I could display them like that.

Please post any feedback you have regarding these proposals in the appropriate sections below. Thanks. JoePlay ( talk ) 20:58, January 4, 2010 (UTC)
