Okay, so I create this forum for us, mostly (but not limited to) me and Soxra, to suggest aesthetic changes to the content of this wiki. So, if you have suggestions, feel free to share them here, and please, follow the format.

Thumbnails Frames

EVA Unit XIII - The beginning and the end share the same moment.
TALK - I've been waiting for this moment... 04:41, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
Browsing our articles, I realized that the images to further ilustrates subjects and situations in the story sections and the others... didnt really catch the eye, and as such, they didnt really illustrate the subjects. Besides, they are plain boring, so I think a nice, color frame around them will make them look more appealing to the eye. Below are some examples:
No frame (Current)

Frame (My suggestion)

Note that the color used can be freely customized so it's not bound to be that shade of blue I have in my custom .css. What do you guys think?

Game Clear Data KHRECOM.png I like it, especially the curves. Maybe we could adjust the color to the new design (and by that I don't mean pink).

Nice idea, DE. :D

Chitalian8 Say... — Mother and Father call me Joshua. I guess you can call me Joshua, too... Since you're my dear, dear partner.

I don't see how this is my fault. You're the one who refuses to call me Pink. — 21:06, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

20px-Pin_000.png This frame, I like it. ANOTHER.

Eh, I prefer the one we're currently using. The other would make it look less organized. But, I haven't seen it being used in any articles yet so I can't say for sure if it would look bad or not. Maybe it would look good, also depending on which color we would chose. But for now I'm still saying no this until I see it in action. - JTD95 21:56, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

In response to your doubts, JTD95, no, the frames do not collide with the content and do not make it look chaotic, as you can see Here. Since the general consensus seem to be that this change is liked, all that remains is to decide in a color before I can apply it.--Dark-EnigmaXIII 22:22, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

I don't have a problem with the color you have there, to be honest. but orange is my favorite color...

Category Bar + Input Buttons

On the same ideas as above, the category bar the bottom of each article, as well as the input buttons (such as "Go" and "Search") are rather flat and boring. (I group these together because the proposed style for both is rather similar.)
Current (browser-dependent)

Again, keep in mind that we are not bound by color here. Any color can be used, I've just used grey for the sake of simplicity.

Same as above, I really like these two ideas.

These ideas are heavenly. :3

PS. Why should we have two discussion sections?

The ideas will be posted one-after-another. These two are just a start, so every idea will have a separate discussion section.

"If you want light to rule over all, then you must rid the world of everything else."

I'm just gonna say I approve of both ideas. These will really help make the wiki more polished.

Vanitas Sprite KHBBS.pngstylish, i like it

TALK - "I DEMAND YOUR FINEST BACON!"
Me gusta! These are fantastic ideas and only help me be further thankful we've got you two working for us!

Alright, Soxra's Monobook mod, which contains both of these ideas, has been out for a while. I like just about everything about it, except:
  • Can you change the colors of basically everything to pink?
  • The body font looks really awkward in Arial next to the new header font. The same font is used for the sidebar, where it looks great. Would you mind implementing that font in the body text as well?

That's it. Really, amazing job, Soxra.

TerraCharm.pngFail to see why everything needs to have a rounded edge...categories don't need to look flashy...it's the contents of the article that are important.

@ENX: If you want to attract all varieties of users, it has to look visually appealing. That's a given.

@As If: That's because the CSS you're using is my personal CSS. It uses fonts of mine, images of mine, etc. Don't expect the full experience.

jinsymbol.png Aye, looks awesome I'm all for it. But why no triangle edges? What type of triangles discrimination is this?

LegoAlchemist - They changed "Snipe Magnet" to "Magnet Grab"? Who's translating this game, 4kids?
TALK - Friendships are in direct contravention of mercenary conduct as delineated in your contracts, and on a personal note: I am very, very, disappointed with you.
Vsymbol.png These actually look amazing. I think the default gallery box color should be dark purple, to match our theme.
