MediaWiki theme
editHello Jess!
Seeing how much you like nice designs, I wanted to share with you these screenshots of 2 themes I made:

- Ah interesting. What problems are you addressing with these designs? Iamjessklein (talk) 18:49, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
- I aimed at an impression that's more comparable to popular websites like youtube, discord (dark theme colors are similar to the latter).
- In design:
- The dark themes I've encountered are outdated/incomplete/has strange colors/are based on inversion of color space. Each color is hand-picked in this solution. The color palette is shifted, generally, instead of being inverted.
- The gray theme is for low-lit environments when one doesn't want to use a dark theme.
- Flat (border-less) design on Timeless, less borders on Vector. Odd-even table rows have different background.
- Smoother colors and feel, fancy coloring on the main page.
- Optimization of layout in Vector (less empty space in header), narrow Timeless (menu positioning) and diffs.
- Modern, easy-to-read, pleasant and elegant fonts (at least for Latin).
- In development:
- The theme is just a few dozen CSS variables. Anybody can make their own easily, without being familiar with the infinite number of CSS selectors involved.
- I did this around December. Once I get back to it, I want to make a paper/sepia theme instead of the gray one. I don't really like that, it's too... gray, but it's useful at times. —Aron Man.🍂 edits🌾 14:58, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
