Site title visibility when using different skins

I am new to mediawiki and am wondering about the display of site title:

I have a title string set in $wgSitename. I noticed that some skins display this title in the upper left corner of the screen, for example "Timeless" does display the title whereas "Monobook" does not.

Are any other options available to control this behavior preferably without messing with the html?

Thanks

"when using different skins", that means you want different styles and looks. If you mean the sitename to look like it does in Timeless across skins, that's not possible. The main reason different skins exist is to give different looks, you should just choose the one you like best. Other than that, the only remaining option is the one you mentioned, that's to tinker with the html, maybe worthwhile, maybe not.

Thanks for your reply, and I do understand the purpose of skins :-) I am just a bit surprised that skins exist which do not display the site title (which unfortunately include those that work out of the box for me). The question was whether there exist any config options for this and based on your reply it seems the answer is "no", so on to html tweaking.

Thanks

Dennis
