Could be added theme classes to the body tag?
I think it would be very helpful to style dark themes without touch
other themes.
For example, I want a "light" theme (instead of a dark one) to the
wiki, but also support people who wants to use a dark theme.
Some templates or "boxes" has a light background set in the HTML, and
in dark themes they are still light. The text is dark because the
color is set also in the HTML code, but the link colors are light, and
are illegible in some circumstances.
One solution it comes to my mind is to add to those templates a
class="lightbackground" and add a CSS like
body.wikiaThemeGaming #wikia_page .lightbackground a { color: #002bb8;}
so specific dark skins style that links dark, as the text, and are
more legible, without affect other themes. But there's no way to
differentiate each theme so it's impossible to do that.
This should be a trivial change, as far the skin is known and also the
theme (each theme has a different css loaded, before the body tag
appears)
