GuildWiki:Wintersday/Wiki decorations

Plan: To make the Wiki look more Wintersdayish.

Current ideas

 * The GuildWiki icon: Change to Peppermint Shield with Candy Canes behind it (a Candy Cane Staff seems most fitting)
 * Change the favicon to a Birthday Present icon
 * Have icicles hanging off the top of the page
 * Javascript snowball rolls across main page
 * Something with snow (maybe change site background image to snow?)
 * ...(propose on talk)

Current look
I'd like this to be a TC, i.e. the whole wiki would be reskinned to use this. Here is a demo (shrunk 50%) to see how it would look like.



Depending on your skin setting, add  to Special:MyPage/monobook.css or   to Special:MyPage/monaco.css (default skin) to be able to always preview the latest tweaks of this skin yourself. --◄mendel► 03:00, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Disabling
We hope you enjoy the decorations, but if they are too distracting for you, follow these simple instructions to disable them.

Disabling/reducing snowflakes
If the snowflakes are too distracting or are causing your browser to run sluggishly, you can either reduce the number of snowflakes or disable them entirely.


 * 1) Copy one of the following lines:
 * noSnow = 1; // to completely disable the snowflakes

userSnowNum = ?; // to reduce the number of flakes; replace ? with a number less than 10
 * 1) Paste it into your personal .js file. (You will need to be logged in as a registered user to do this.)
 * 2) *Click here if you are using the Monaco skin. (Unless you have changed the skin in your preferences, this is the skin you are using.)
 * 3) *Click here if you are using the Monobook skin.
 * 4) Force-refresh your browser window (ctrl+F5 for Internet Explorer, ctrl+shift+R for Firefox).
