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 or making your browser perform sluggishly, follow these simple instructions to disable them.

The simplest way to completely remove all the new backgrounds is to change your skin (in your preferences) to something other than Monobook or one of the Monaco skins. Uncheck the "let admins override my skin choice" checkbox.

If you just want to improve your browser's performance, you can get rid of the full-page background (the bluish-white one) by copying the following line:

body { background: #f9f9f9 url(headbg.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat; }

and pasting it into your personal .css file.


 * 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.)
 * Click here if you are using the Monobook skin.

The article background doesn't scroll with the page, and thus shouldn't cause any issues.
