--- Comment #4 from Trevor Parscal <tpars...@wikimedia.org> ---
Brandon: I think we can gain a lot of distinction using very little adjustment
and avoid any significant maintenance overhead - but I do agree that we
probably won't reach 100% distinction by adjusting the shade of a few things,
we may have to go a little farther than that.

MZ: Other projects should also be customized, perhaps subtly differently as
well since it's been observed that people often don't realize they are on a
different site when being linked between Wikipedia, Commons and Wiktionary.
Making some standard visual elements be adjustable on a per-project basis could
give us an opportunity to make each project have more of it's own identity.
I've advanced seen people change colors in their user CSS to avoid posting on
the wrong wikis - this is an indication that there is too much similarity right
now.

Execution does seem pretty simple:

Step 1: Add the capability to configure by some reasonable means
Step 3: Add an RL module that dynamicaly generates CSS based on configuration
Step 2: Choose some visual elements to vary and add dynamic CSS classes for
them
Step 4: Adjust skin HTML output to use those "dynamic" classes
Step 5: Adjust skin stylesheets to work with the new classes than hard coding
them
