Forum:SH Archive/New "Monaco" Skin Design for Wookieepedia

Late last year, John Q from Wikia posted a note on wikia-l detailing our plans for a new skin, now called Monaco. The new skin was designed as evolution of Monobook with single sidebar on the left, prominent article actions, widgets, and a really robust multi-tiered navigation.

Wookieepedia is one of our biggest wikis and a staff favorite, so I just had to put together a Wookieepedia theme as I was designing Monaco. I initially tried to find an image of Coruscant that was a bit more vivid than the current background image that would repeat well. I didn't have much luck - everything that I found was too overpowering. In the end, I put together a Hoth scene and tinted the sky to make it work with the Wookieepedia colours.

Please post comments and feedback in this thread. It's looking like Monaco will be ready next week.
