Hi, Kaya Saman.
I am novice, and my way is primitive.
I edited the
skins/vector/screen.css
skins/vector/screen-hd.css
I reduced the size of margins, to have more space for the
articles formulas and figures. You may see the result at
http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/t
I tried to vary all the parameters, one by one.
It took for a while, to understand which change improves the view.
Perhaps, there is more intelligent way to do the same.

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone can point me into the right direction of how to edit
the 'Vector' skin?
Basically since I'm really new to Mediawiki I just made a copy of the skin
folder and php file called vectorx in both cases:
folder: vectorx
php file: VectorX.php
so far I've been following these pages on the Mediawiki site:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skinning/Tutorial
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skinning/Vector
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skinning/Vector/Example
however, the last two links are the best though unfortunately they're for up to
Mediawiki 1.19.
My setup is running Mediawiki 1.22 installed from the Archlinux repos.
Since this is a really basic test setup I'm using, I have elected to go for
nginx and sqlite. The wiki is accessible and everything is fine.
Using the modifications described in the links above the new skin shows up as
VectorX however, the menus aren't shown??
Just everything from "Main Page" down... with no formatting.
Having no experience with Mediawiki prior to this but reading the man/faq/wiki
pages it seems that the 'Vector' skin is now integrated into the core of the
wiki. How does this affect editing and replication?
At the moment all I would like to do is replicate 'vector' in 'vectorx' in
order to learn how to modify it in terms of menus, backgrounds and other bits
and pieces.
Regards,
Kaya
