My question is simple: How do I (A) clone the Vector skin and (B) make it so my 
customized Vector skin can have custom background and text colors.

I tried using this skin initially: https://code.google.com/p/darkvector/

Unfortunately, it has graphical errors in my version of MediaWiki (currently 
1.19.3), so I decided it would be better to take my own version of Vector, 
clone under a different name (currently DarkVector is the name I'm using), then 
I planned to make my own version of darkvector (I was going to change the 
colors slightly, but I like the version on google code)

Unfortunately, I'm only really good at editing CSS. I tried editing my clone 
.php files, but I either (A) keep screwing up the layout (and the sidebar 
disappears) or (B) I get it looking right but all of my edits to the screen.css 
to change the colors have no effect.

I'm not sure I know what I doing, so if someone could walk me through what I'd 
like to do or could provided me pointers on what I might be getting wrong, I 
would appreciate the assistance.
