This is an archived version of this page, as edited by 145.254.109.49 (talk) at 12:39, 28 January 2005 (Suggested skin projects). It may differ significantly from the current version.

This page is coordination for people who wish to make styles together, and people who would like to present ideas for skins which others can pick up on. When finished ( or in semi-finished form ) they can be put on Gallery of user styles

Suggested skin projects

  • Advanced, with as many text-links as possible replaced with icons, popup tooltips made in Javascript, various js-powered hideable menus; and several css colour schemes for the user's choice (so one could choose them by a js-powered switch, or in the web browser). All written in Strict XHTML, with external .js files and stylesheets. Usable on all media, resolutions etc.
  • Soviet, a skin that would have a soviet look. All red and everything.
  • Google, mimic google
  • Tech-Style, a modern blue-grey kind of style used for many Sci-Fi style websites
  • Apart from only adding visual style, I believe, that you'd need to concentrate on a Encyclopedia-Style. Something, that renders more into "electronic-encylopedia" rather than "website". With CSS certain elements of a web-page can be even hidden. This would allow to hide the WIKI elements and present Wikipedia as Read-Only to users, who are not interested in participating. Of course, I would recommend, that this skin can be selected only by people, who know a little more about Wikipedia. The "right-there" nature of editing inspires users to participate. Rendering the WIKI nature of Wikipedia invisible might also render participation away.
  • Not exactly style-related: An XUL (Mozilla) application, that can be downloaded and used for reading Wikipedia. This might allow for additional functions. Maybe.
