Manual:Gallery of user styles

This page is a showcase of the different user styles & skins that can be used with MediaWiki. None of these skins are maintained by the MediaWiki developers; if you find an error or wish to leave feedback, contact their respective authors.

To add a skin to this page, please use the details template:

Skins derived from Monobook
Styles and positioning of page elements is stored in a file called main.css. To get to this file go to skins/monobook/main.css. Editing in CSS is fairly simple, once you figure out what each color and position corresponds to. This allows you to keep the MonoBook skin as the default, which is nice because it is well written.

If you want to put in Google ads or some other Java program, you can do this in Monobook.php. You can actually edit any .php file's appearance by going to main.css in the appropriate folder/directory.

Classic Monobook look
These skins only make minor changes, such as the colors and sizes of elements.

Altered Monobook layout
These skins were all inspired by the great Monobook skin, but have made (many) changes to the css-style or to the logic in the PHP skin so that at first sight you would not recognize the Monobook look in it. Typical components of Monobook-look are:
 * left corner graphic
 * tabbed buttons
 * left side menu
 * big content area.
