Forum:CT Archive/Rounded corners are so 2005

At some point, I don't even remember when or why, we decided to round off the corners on everything. Infoboxes, attention templates, link templates, the main page, and on and on and on.

Problem is, we've had a skin (Monaco) forced on us by our oh-so-attentive hosts (Wikia) that is square to the extreme. It clashes. And we can't really do a whole lot about it. It frankly wouldn't be worth the effort to try to round it off, since it could just change next week anyway, plus there's the next problem:

The various hacks and kludges that round off the corners on our pretty-but-dated boxes are somewhat hit-or-miss. I may post some screenshots in this space when I get home from work in a few hours (Yes, I'm editing Wookieepedia at lunch. Don't judge me.) if people think it's necessary, but a lot of our "round" corners either just plain don't work, or explode into some outright weirdness on browsers other than Firefox.

This is a very simple issue, but it has far-reaching effects, so I think it calls for a CT. It's a simple yes-or-no vote. The skin is sitewide, therefore the style change should be sitewide, so there's no need to add weasel options like "evaluate case-by-case" or anything like that. We either evolve, or stay in 2005. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 15:51, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
