https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60317 --- Comment #7 from Quim Gil --- Maybe this has to be an extension as part of the development and testing process, I don't know. What is clear is that such functionality would be desired by most MediaWiki users just out of the box. I imagine the progress in this area being done more through isolated tasks (reports) that help integrating this functionality in core rather than the development of a full extension offering all this functionality at once. Then again I'm not a developer that will be working on this, so never mind. :) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60317 --- Comment #3 from Quim Gil --- "Themable" icons are also very effective in UI differentiation. The same goes for the styling of buttons. Offering a package with all these configurations isn't trivial, but there is probably some low-hanging fruit to get started (e.g. reading the icons from a site-specific directory before falling back to the general Vector directory). On a related note, this morning I was celebrating [[mw:Winter]] because it proposes to get rid of the blue lines that Vector has so deeply hardcoded. Little changes like this can enable a lot of flexibility for branding and UI customization, not just for Wikimedia but for everybody. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60317 --- Comment #2 from Jared Zimmerman (WMF) --- Yes, but as an extension, e.g. it would not be enabled on foundation wikis but perfect for 3rd party installs of mediawiki. I would also expect this same UI to be where extensions are enabled as well. one other major think would be to customize site logo, including upload It would be nice to allow for a single cue color that gets applied to lots of elements rather than having to specify a bunch of colors individually, something similar to tumblrs configuration https://www.dropbox.com/s/h0p2tq06n6jj4a2/Screenshot%202014-01-21%2017.57.22.png -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60317 MZMcBride changed: What|Removed |Added CC||q...@wikimedia.org --- Comment #1 from MZMcBride --- I think I like this idea a lot. What do you think about a Special page (Special:CustomizeAppearance) or something that includes drop-down menus and a preview of what the changes will look like. You could use it to do basic and straightforward customizations such as changing font color or header style or font family site-wide. The Special page could store the customizations in the database and it would simply generate the necessary CSS and output it below the default skin CSS (Vector, for now). Is this similar to what you had in mind? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
