i can't upload my favicon for my wiki heres what the origanal pic is:: 19:54, April 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * You'll want to upload it as a favicon, not an image. One amazing tool I highly recommend is the RealWorld Online Icon Maker. Simply upload your image in the "Create favicon from picture" box and you're done. 21:18, April 18, 2010 (UTC)

i'm uploading it as favicon and it says The file is corrupt or has an incorrect extension. Please check the file and upload again. 21:47, April 21, 2010 (UTC)

Do you know how to change the "Edit this page", "History", "Delete", "Move", "Protect", "Watch" buttons on the top of article pages like what happened on April Fool's Day? I have my own Wiki, and I would like to change it. Do you also know how to change your Wiki's logo? Thanks! 00:18, April 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * The pages for the buttons are mediawiki:edit, mediawiki:history, mediawiki:delete, mediawiki:move, mediawiki:protect, and mediawiki:watch. To change the logo, change the image File:Wiki.png

Ok, Thanks!! 01:03, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

could you make me a simple monaco.css for my wiki?? you only have to include spaces for the background color and page colors and sidebars for me, and i could place the colors in myself. i do not know how to make one, so could you help me?? thanks!! 21:37, April 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm going to give you a sketchy template-ish thing here, since you're experienced with coding and deserve to understand why it works, not whether it works.
 * So basically, a good-sized chuck of the content here on the Monaco skin -- that's the color of the search bar, user masthead, edit toolbar, header toolbars, etc. are all stuffed under the classes,  , and  . Thus you will want to set the   of all of these to the desired color. So our code is

.color1, .yui-panel, .hd { background-color: some-color; }
 * The dots indicate that we're selecting a class.
 * If  is dark, you'll also want to change the text color to...white, for instance:

.color1, .yui-panel, .hd { background-color: some-color; color: white; /* if some-color is dark */ }
 * But we're not done yet! Links will still appear blue, and you'll want these the same color as the text. So we'll also need to add links:

.color1, .color1 a, .yui-panel, .hd { background-color: some-color; color: white; /* if some-color is dark */ }
 * That's all fine and dandy, but what about the background of the page? This is controllable via the  class:

.color1, .color1 a, .yui-panel, .hd { background-color: some-color; color: white; /* if some-color is dark */ }

.color2 { background-color: some-light-color; }
 * For more information on Monaco skinning, see Customizing Monaco on Wikia Help. It's a very helpful manual. 22:07, April 21, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks!!!! I hope I will understand this through practice. I'm already reading the manual, so maybe I can make it work. 22:11, April 21, 2010 (UTC)

But I can't find the "Custom" check box that lets me use my custom theme. it keeps showing the Jade theme instead of the custom one.

hello
WOW there is so much on monaco.css on your page! I want part of it!

Is it possible to not only have one background image to the right and another on the left?

2nd

How do you (in the common.css) tell the server to add the background image but only to a template (like our main space templates)?

Thank you,-- 00:03, April 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1. I'm afraid not. But if both of your images are repeating vertically, then you could use a single image that combines them. CSS3, however, might have a solution, but it's still in a draft.
 * 2. Please clarify. If you mean adding a background image to certain specified elements on a page, you could have a class (like "main-wiki-stuff", for example) and control the background image via .  03:24, April 22, 2010 (UTC)

OK and for the 2nd that is all you do to the common.css-- 04:29, April 22, 2010 (UTC)
