Moving this from the front page talk page to here, which is slightly better suited for discussions.

I've looked through User:Imperial Grand Survey/wikia.css and extracted just the changes to User:Tjoneslo/wikia.css in order to try them. I have the following comments:

  • Pick a cleaner background image. The scratchy image is distracting.
  • Because there is no gutter (white space) between the background image and edge of the article, the text in the background overlaps that of the article making it confusing to read.
  • The WikiArticle and WikiRail must be side by side. This is one of the can't be changed rules from Wikia. I think this is because the rail holds advertising for the not-signed-in users. So you will need to make the two chunks work together.
  • We may have to be careful of the black background with colored stripe. Mongoose has claimed the look as trademark for their Traveller line. I'm not sure how far we can push the look without getting in trouble, and I'd rather not find out the hard way.
  • I like the idea of using percentage widths, as I don't like having my browser set to the full width of my screen. But my preferred browser width is too narrow for the default Wikia width.

I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, it's not supposed to be. Too much time testing software, not enough interfacing with real people. Tjoneslo 00:00, March 30, 2011 (UTC)
