New Skin
Well, I contacted a lot of people, so we might get something going soon. -- 23:20, 9 February 2011 (EST)
 * Axiomist, from WiKirby here. I'm certain someone will try to help skin KHWiki, but you should understand that we all see the skins as works of art like Masterpieces. You just don't duplicate them exactly. Dkpat respected the design on WiKirby enough to build off of it for GSU and NWiki, but changed enough of the skin file that few people immediately notice they similar. Keep that in mind when you work on it, and you'll have the appreciation from just about all of us at NIWA. Congrats on moving and I hope we can all be good affiliates to one another whenever you guys want. :) 74.194.27.133 01:10, 10 February 2011 (EST)
 * I don't want an exact duplicate (that wasn't even what I asked for, please don't misunderstand me), I just want something like your wiki's skin that we can tweak and use for our wiki. -- 06:01, 10 February 2011 (EST)

Question — How exactly do we get the entire layout for the pages (including the search bar and even the most minute details) changed ? I can come up with the colours needed as well as a BG depending on the occasion, but beyond that... Tambours Tonnerre Ensemble !  20:29, 11 February 2011 (EST)
 * Pretty much just read this to see why we can't really don anything now, at least not yet... Well, I can't. -- 20:39, 11 February 2011 (EST)

I can perhaps work a prototype, provided there aren't any extra MediaWiki files to tweak. My personal favourite is the WiKirby layout, though I'm not sure how to centre-align the search bar. I'm going to see what I can do... It'll take days, though. Tambours Tonnerre Ensemble !  20:44, 11 February 2011 (EST)
