Modified Monaco skin

Hi. I am not an Orain staff member. I moved your comment here from my talk page just so you wouldn't lose it when I removed it from my talk page.

I see that Mediawiki.org has pages about additional skins that are not part of the standard set of Mediawiki skins, and that your stuff is there too. Better categorization and better organization of all the skin info there (from all sources) would be helpful.

mw:Skin:Monaco might have links added for the Monaco variations out there. --Timeshifter (talk) 17:08, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

I wrote some information you may wish to integrate into Orain, also made a modified skin for Orain

The Monaco skin used on Orain is the same port created by Dantman from Wikia, and it has some issues with WikiEditor. I have written a page on my wiki detailing these issues and fixes that can be implemented to solve several CSS errors and edit window issues, which can be found here.

I have also released my own modified fork of Monaco that corrects many of the problems with Monaco, but has the buttons default to the Monobook/Vector look as opposed to using the buttons the original port had used from Wikia.

You can find it here:

I'm still a novice at using Github, so I not sure I am competent enough to add these changes to the Orain core, but you may wish to look over this information and see if the rest of the more technically competent members of the Orain staff would either like to use my fixes for the Monaco port or use my modified version on Orain, as either would fix any issues with using the WikiEditor extension.

I would recommend the changes (if any) be implemented globally. They will not affect any wiki where WikiEditor is not installed, as the fixes are mostly CSS tweaks to fix issues with that extension, should it ever be installed on any wiki.
