Visual Editor support
Hi, thanks for the best skin for mediawiki. But i have question, can it be edited to work with visual editor?

Well i made progress here: https://github.com/ElNovi/mediawiki-skins-Timeless

Formatting on search page.
I don't know if anyone else will come across this, but I was getting some weird formatting on the search page.



I was however able to get this fixed (at least for now) by editing /w/resources/src/mediawiki.special/mediawiki.special.search.css.

Specifically this; .mw-search-results { margin-left: 0.4em; float: left; }

Changed to; .mw-search-results { margin-left: 0.4em; float: center; }

Now it displays like this:



Just putting this here in case anyone else comes across this issue.

Y'all should sign your posts.
Also, like, thanks and stuff. I've filed bugs for all of the mentioned bugs. Sorry I didn't see this sooner; I kind of abandoned the entire thing for awhile there. -— Isarra ༆ 05:12, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

Hover menus
Speaking of something I noticed when trying it out here: https://simple.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Baseball_uniform?useskin=timeless

Hover menus like that require skilled mouse pointing/usage, which can prove difficult for people with hand mobility issues or who don't fully master mouse usage yet (eg. young children, people who are new to computers, etc.). Since the hover areas aren't links themselves, you could mitigate that problem by making hover menus stick open if one clicks on the area that triggers the hover menu at the moment. Subsequently trying to click on the links the menu contains, with the menu stuck open, becomes less difficult because accidentally hovering outside no longer closes the menu.

There are probably other solutions, but as it stands, this kind of hover menu can create frustration for people who already have a frustrating web browsing experience where clicking on a link that doesn't move is already a challenge, let alone one that is conditionally visible.

Also, I don't know how well that hover menu would interact with screen readers, that probably needs testing.
