Monobook styles. Note that these are best used by users who have at least some knowledge of how a wiki works. Note that some images, blocks, etc. simply will not look right when used with these modifications. Feel free to post your own Monobook styles here!
White on Black[]
Copy the contents at User:White on Black/monobook.css to your own Monobook.css file.
Advantages
- Particularly useful for those who can't stand the bright white on their computer screens, although the ads and the edit bars are still white-background (help anyone?)
- Colors are not too vivid--note that the standard text is light gray, and that backgrounds are dark grey, rather than white and black. This also means less eye strain (compared to reading true white on true black)
- Links are brighter white to attract more attention, and change to golden when hovering
- Accessed links turn a darker shade of gray than surrounding text so that users know what pages have already been seen. (Can be reset by browser refresh) This is particularly useful on recent changes pages to keep track of what pages you've visited.
- Table of contents shows up with horizontal bars between level 1 and 2 headers
- Certain "key" command functions may be cyan to distinguish from the rest
- Section headers are grey-blue to distinguish from standard text--especially for level 4 and 5 headers
- Easier to pick out the changes on difference pages
Disadvantages
- Doesn't give a book-ish feel
- Some divs are still white and need to be blacked out
