User blog comment:Brandon Rhea/A new look for Star Wars Fanon/@comment-20644-20101010212651



I've done a bit more on a brighter design. Rather than making the background transparent, which&mdash;to make it look good&mdash;would require us to use an image repeated across the entire page, I used the theme designer to give it an off-white/blueish look. It's very subtle, with most of the blue being noticeable on the edges of the pages.

Links are a light blue. Buttons like "Edit" are a normal blue. The Wikia header and the floating My Tools bar are a bit of a darker shade of blue.

You can see an example of what an article would look like Brandon Rhea. Just go to the wiki, go to Special:Preferences, click the "Skin" tab, and choose the new Wikia look to view the design. I've also added a screenshot off to the side of this post.

I think I like this better. It's easier on the eyes and much more subtle. Let me know what you think!
