Wikinews:Custom skin

I’ve been working on coding a brand new skin specifically for Wikinews. This is not a modification of any existing skin, but a new skin built from scratch. It is inspired by viceroy321’s mockup in the Wikinews skin design contest. As of Mar. 25th, the skin is complete, including commented, very customizable CSS. I am still working on some tweaks, but the bulk of the skin is done.

I’ve included several images here (Most likely outdated).

Wikinews is a news site, and MonoBook just doesn’t fit a news theme. The idea behind this skin is to give Wikinews a more “newsy” layout while preserving the usability of a Wiki. To that extent, I believe I’ve succeeded.

As of this writing, functionality is total and equivalent to MonoBook, save a few exceptions:

Full (100%)

These screenshots are current as of April 17th:

Here is the old version of the skin as per request for comparison purposes.

Comments are appreciated, post them here:

The test wiki seems to have disappeared 🙁 Dan100 (Talk) 23:21, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

The skin was inspired by viceroy321’s Wikinews skin contest entry, and created by Noclip.
