Westeros is a skin based on the Oasis/FandomDesktop skin with elements inspired by the Overclocked skin. The skin hopes to provide a familiar skin to those familiar with browsing/editing Fandom or those looking for something similar on their wikis.

Install[edit]

  • Download and place the file(s) in a directory called Westeros in your skins/ folder.
  • Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
    wfLoadSkin( 'Westeros' );
    
  • Configure as required.
  • Yes Done - Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the skin is successfully installed.

Configuration[edit]

Top banner image[edit]

A background image for the header at the top (that contains the navigation etc.) can be set for the by adding a rule to your MediaWiki:Westeros.css page (create it if it doesn't yet exist) like this:

/* Set a background image for the top banner */
.mod-header {
  background-image: url(images/mod-header.jpg);
}

Alternatively, to achieve something like the new FandomDesktop skin (in which there is no solid colour), you can set the background to transparent (you'll have to use !important to override the default grey colour).

Navigation Bar[edit]

Westeros supports a user-definable navigation bar in a similar fashion to the Cosmos skin and FandomDesktop. This is located at MediaWiki:Westeros-navigation. It supports nesting up to two levels, thus, the syntax is as follows:

*Top-level
**Child
***Second-Child level
****Third-Child level
