--- Comment #2 from Isarra <zhoris...@gmail.com> --- (In reply to Bartosz Dziewoński from comment #1) > I believe the official name is 'MediaWiki UI' now. It even has its own > Bugzilla component. Are you sure about that? That name suggests it should concern the base skinning modules and framework; this concerns only a very small subset of the overall UI. > I don't think you're right that they "do not make sense with most skins", > but there are definitely some skins that MediaWiki UI styles don't fit. They don't make sense with ANY of my skins, and most of them aren't that out there (take greystuff, for instance - it's basically as simple as you can get and still have a designed skin, and it still clashes with the form UI there). > I think the best way to resolve this would be to make the MediaWiki UI > modules' styles overridable with $wgResourceModuleSkinStyles [1] – this way > skins that implement really custom look would be able to change (or just > disable) the styling. As a general rule, skins implement their own visual styles, this being the entire point of a skin. Some may look similar to others (such as vector and monobook), but it's not the norm, and it definitely should not be the expectation. These styles are being designed for specific skins - namely vector and minerva - and are designed for those skins for a reason. Distinctive visual styles (really custom looks like this) have no place in core, because skins aren't part of core (the base skinning modules are very generic and do not contain distinctive design elements for this reason). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
