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)

Kill the rounded corners

 * 1) Per me. Darth Culator  (Talk) 15:51, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) Actually, I think Sikon just sort of &hellip;implemented them. Let's take this first step towards a complete makeover. --Imperialles 15:57, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) I think they look sleek, but I'm using Firefox. This should happen because it's best for the site overall. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 16:14, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 4) IT AIN'T 2005 ANYMORE. THINGS CHANGE. BE MATURE AND ACCEPT IT. Yes, I did have to use all caps there. And if it seems that I'm being too dramatic for a simple thing like this, then you're naive. Diplomacy be darned, there are more things here that still need to change (and should have changed long ago), but didn't and still might not due to certain people.

Don't kill the rounded corners

 * 1) Visit Tesfanon; we're rounded the corners for a few Monaco-related things. Of course, we haven't updated w:c:tesfanon:MediaWiki:Monaco.css since April, so rounded corners haven't been added to the wikianswers widget or the user page header; however, I think you guys could figure all that out. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 16:41, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) *Whoops, I was assuming everyone was using Firefox. Still, you need Firefox to see the rounded corners in your Monobook as well. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 16:44, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Before I vote, can you at least show me how it'll look like?  Mauser  Comlink 16:27, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * We'll establish a coordination page or project to work out the specifics of the new look. If there's anything controversial, we will take it to CT. --Imperialles 16:34, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
