It's a basic mod based on the documentation on how to create your own skin based on MonoBook. The majority of the changes are in the main.css. There are a few minor changes in the php...

(The sidebar portlet is inserted using the > SkinBuildSidebar hook, which didn't exist until MediaWiki 1.14). That's what I thought, but when I saw that the ToolBox wasn't showing the right things... I added the pre 1.14 code to get it working.... which kind of worked, but not as expected (ie not as it was in MonoBook). > > Without the code, only the single empty Create a book block is shown. > > That's strange, especially if it's working with MonoBook. > > You can PM me the modified skin files if you want to, then I can try > to find out what might be the problem here. First, you've given me some ideas that I will check on first - primarily, the base MonoBook code that we built the OOoSkin on is really old... I think 1.11 or maybe even older. I'm going to look at updating the base code (basically re-modifying the latest MonoBook.php code), and see if that helps - I'm betting it will.
