           Summary: Dynamic search box position change

On pl.wiki we have a script to dynamically change position for all user (even
anonymous). I think this should be incorporated in the vector skin to allow
users to get used to this skin more gently.

The scripts are not perfect, but I've tested this on various browsers and it
was available as a gadget for few days:
http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Vector4monobookies.js
http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Vector4monobookies.css

You'll notice that IE6 and IE7 needs to reload the page. This is because this
part didn't work:
this.elCSS.parentNode.removeChild(this.elCSS);
If you would find a workaround - that would be great. But I strongly believe we
should even add a message for IE6 and IE7 users that they should update their
browser as soon as possible.

Anyway, if this would be incorporated in vector I think that the CSS file
should be left in the MediaWiki name space so that wikis could customize it
(e.g remove/customize logo switch back).

If you would need to change the license just let me know.
