Well, only a few more to go. You may have seen me test out some of the images to see if they work. Monobook might be the first skin to work after all this...
EDIT 23:59, 5 September 2015 (UTC) Looks like the Vector and Monobook skins are as good as done. Only the Roundedblue one is left; there are a few elements to change. Also, how do we change those remaining logos that appear at random?

::We also need to update the [[Template:Welcome]] (does KHUX have a tagline?) and with the help of an admin, the site notice colours. {{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 11:06, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
:::And we probably need to change the background color of thumbnails as well. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 11:08, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
AND (with the help of an admin) Vector.css and Roundedblue.css. See my notes on the discussion page. '''[[User:Troisnyxetienne|<font color="#222222">TRS</font>]][[User talk:Troisnyxetienne|<font color="#444444">NX</font>]]''' 12:07, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
EDIT 12:13, 6 September 2015 (UTC): The Welcome template has been changed by-and-large; all that's missing now is the artwork. Can anyone suggest anything? '''[[User:Troisnyxetienne|<font color="#222222">TRS</font>]][[User talk:Troisnyxetienne|<font color="#444444">NX</font>]]'''
:Could we use a decorated KHUX wallpaper or splash screen? It's an app so it doesn't have the box art that we usually use. {{unsigned|TheFifteenthMember}}
One option is to crop the artwork from the website (the one with Kingdom Hearts floating in the centre), basically the image that forms the logo. There aren't very many options, I'll admit.

:Maybe we can use [[:File:Kingdom Hearts χ artwork.png|this]]? It's from the original chi, but I don't think that matters much. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 15:59, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

It is possible to, but the one we have now has a justification: 2.5 Remix is a combination of three games. Would there really be a justification if it's just one game we're celebrating?

Should I start updating the images now, or should I wait until they're all done before I do anything? '''[[User:Troisnyxetienne|<font color="#222222">TRS</font>]][[User talk:Troisnyxetienne|<font color="#444444">NX</font>]]''' 23:05, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
::Honestly, I think the character image is missing something; I would prefer the other one to be the only logo because I find it adorably pretty (my own opinion though). But if we are keeping the character logo, would it be possible to remove the tiny white lights in the background; they look a bit strange in my opinion. {{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 09:39, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
I'm going to regress on my opinion, seeing as [http://i.imgur.com/nnyaIn0.png that] actually doesn't work too well as a logo. I'm happy to stick with just the character logo but we need to get rid of the code that causes the alternate logos (which by the way, are saved under [[:File:Wiki 2.png]] and [[:File:Wiki 3.png]]). I think it's in a .css file somewhere but I don't know where. {{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 11:21, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
:The logo has since been changed to Ephemera + Chirithy + Unknown. Not sure how well this works, but I hope it works somehow. We still know that the game is radically different...

===Wiki 2 and Wiki 3===
Okay, what do we do about those two logos? Any suggestions? '''[[User:Troisnyxetienne|<font color="#222222">TRS</font>]][[User talk:Troisnyxetienne|<font color="#444444">NX</font>]]''' 16:46, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
:If we're going to have only one logo, I would suggest either removing the coding that randomizes the logos, or upload the same logo we have now as Wiki 2 and Wiki 3 as well. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 16:56, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
Trouble is, I'm not quite sure where the coding for this is... '''[[User:Troisnyxetienne|<font color="#222222">TRS</font>]][[User talk:Troisnyxetienne|<font color="#444444">NX</font>]]''' 17:17, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

:Feedback on this: Header is fuzzy on RB and Vector. Probably because original file is very small and it's blown up to the point where quality is reduced. (ps use imgur ;D) The links in the corner of Vector are not very visible with the clash of the deep teal of header vs light blue of links.  {{User:ANX219/Sig}} 01:36, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
:Hello everyone! I have no idea what any of you are talking but if you happen to need any help with the images TNE let me know and I'll do my best to help you around! Got photoshop and SAI on my side should you need any of their features for anything :) <font size=1> I'm in uni tho so times are limited to weekends :/</font> {{User:Draaek/Sig}} 02:03, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
Draaek, if you could help me tidy up the Roundedblue and Vector headers, I'll be grateful. Right now they look pixellated, their quality has been reduced because I attempted to scale them up. ANX, you too. I did this up till 01:00 last night and I won't be able to handle this until I return from Mass this morning/afternoon.

I think the header's design is fine but with the smoothing and low contrast it looks really blurry now. Also there seems to be something wrong with the pattern, so I extraced the repeated unit that can be exteneded in every direction. It's not really perfect either but that's the original designer's fault. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 13:39, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

===Roundedblue Header Issues===
ANX and Draaek, I don't know if either of you have updated the Roundedblue header -- but it still seems fuzzy to me. Is it just me, or do you two have the same problem? '''[[User:Troisnyxetienne|<font color="#222222">TRS</font>]][[User talk:Troisnyxetienne|<font color="#444444">NX</font>]]''' 16:47, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
:By fuzzy do you mean super blurry? The header wasn't updated but it looks like it was upscaled very badly. I've tried a different approach, but it's a bit plain. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 21:14, 8 September 2015 (UTC):

:Solved. It turns out that the file Draaek sent me had not been uploaded yet, and I took to uploading what she sent me over Skype call. (Yes, she did it up and cleared it all up.)

::That looks much better now, thanks TNE, now my eyes can rest. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 21:30, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
Seriously, though, thank Draaek. She was the one who made it un-blurry, and it's her version of the header that we are using. '''[[User:Troisnyxetienne|<font color="#222222">TRS</font>]][[User talk:Troisnyxetienne|<font color="#444444">NX</font>]]''' 21:45, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
:Haha no problem at all! In fact, I'm glad I can help out the wiki just a tiny bit more considering I don't really do anything here xD {{User:Draaek/Sig}} 21:50, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
==Colours==
{{TNE|time=07:41, 6 September 2015 (UTC)|text=ANX and Draaek, I've enlisted your help with tidying up the layouts. If ever you need the colours from the images to do up the layout, here they are:
*Roundedblue and Vector Header: #205A49, #418971, #0A1A14, #1B473A
*Logo 01:  #011013, #0CAB7A, #022A45, #045C52
Other things like the Vector sidebar and the Roundedblue headers should have some variation of these colour codes.}}
==CSS Troubles==
{{TNE|time=12:49, 6 September 2015 (UTC)|attntext=The biggest trouble we have right now is editing CSS for Vector and Roundedblue. To put it simply,
*I can't edit CSS for the life of me, unless the colour codes are already there. Roundedblue may be easier to handle, but Vector isn't.
*Those of us who ''can'' edit CSS, I don't know who they are, and if there are among us who can edit CSS, we don't have access to it. We can only view source.
*I don't know of any admins or 'crats who are adept at this sort of thing.
Would anyone be willing to help us finish these skins? I know this isn't a "grand reveal" of sorts, just that this thing has been working piece by piece.}}
{{TheFifteenthMember|time={{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 12:52, 6 September 2015 (UTC)|default=Admins and bcrats have powers to edit the css. Neumannz and Kryten might know how to do it. If not, we can always ask Porple for help.}}
An attempt at the CSS:

Feel free to play around with colours and find out which is best for you all. It's probably not as complete and there are some bits missing, but I hope it turns out okay and we can agree on a colour scheme eventually.

:I did say I'd sleep, but it turned out I didn't sleep yet. Took a look at the image; looks perfectly done to me. You did really well, but you must've tuckered yourself out.
