CSS Customization
Hi, I want to customize VisualEditor's CSS to work with my custom skin. Which files do I edit? Editing the CSS on my MediaWiki skin doesn't work, as VisualEditor overrides these styles with it's own CSS. (And I don't want to use !important for every style I change, for obvious reasons....)

Erudite skin
Hello,

I don't manage to make it work with erudite skin.. Any Idea ?

Thanks for your help

 * User:Jdforrester (WMF), how difficult would it be for a MediaWiki dev to make VE compatible with Skin:Erudite? --Elitre (WMF) (talk) 12:25, 9 February 2015 (UTC)


 * I have no idea, sorry. If it's an entirely bespoke skin, "lots"; if it's a fork of Vector with some adjustments, it may be trivial. Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 00:02, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
 * It is quite simple to implement VE in most of the available skins. For Erudite you should edit the erudite.skin.php file, adding the needed Ids to the template. The #main div should also be the #content div, so you should probably make #content wrap #main. There would also be some issues with the bodyContent id, which mostly comes after the headings and in erudite wraps the headings. --Wess (talk) 23:09, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
