Usage Edit

Are you tired of the "boxy" site style, with lines everywhere? This stylesheet remove many lines on the sidebar and elsewhere in the default MonoBook style. To use it, just put the following in User:User_name/monobook.css :

 @import "/index.php?title=Help:User_style/borderless_monobook_style&action=raw&ctype=text/css"

You'll need to reload the stylesheet to your browser. On most browsers, press Ctrl+Shift+R, or hold down the Alt key and press the Refresh button.

Customize Edit

You can put the interlaguage links as a drop-down box on the top-right with this code:

/* Put language drop-down box on top right. The box expands on mouse-over
   bug: the drop-down doesn't always collapse right away because it is bigger than it looks */

#p-lang .pBody {
  background: none;
}
#p-lang {
  position: absolute;
  right: 125px;
  top: 1.8em;
  width: 16em;
  height: 1.5em;
}
#p-lang h5 {
  float:left;
  color: gray;
  padding:1px;
}
#p-lang ul {
  margin:0;
  margin-left:7.25em;
  width: 9em;
  background-color: #eee;
  border: 1px solid gray;
}
#p-lang:hover { overflow: visible; }
#p-lang ul:hover { background-color: white; }
#p-lang li :link { display:block; }
#p-lang li :link:hover { background-color: #def; text-decoration:none; }

Variants Edit

• w:c:tsukuba:User:Danielwang/monobook.css - a variant with rounded top bar (for Mozilla Firefox) and blue/green theme.

Discussion Edit

I think that this page should not be in the main namespace, but maybe in help namespace and the code must be in a separate file or under some caption. Let's suppose that a user clicks on Special:Randompage and the code page appears. This is confusing, i think. Maybe you shuld create a page to promote your skin tweaks with explanations how to use them, and a section with code to be put in the user's css file. See how Help:Live Preview (extension) was promoted. --DCLXVI 20:54, 4 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Good point. Page moved.—Danielwang
