Thread:Extension talk:Vector/How to use Vector features for new skin?/reply (6)

Yes, that definitely seems like a better solution :-) BTW, if you haven't seen it already, there's a tutorial by Daniel Friesen on doing that.

(I believe I tried something like it when Vector first appeared, but I was too new to MediaWiki and it just didn't work. Anyway, my current skin is so different from Vector that there's no point in it, anymore...)
