:You callin' my screenshots simple?  Um, anyway...yeah, if you intend to change it on every enemy page, it would be best to make a [[Forum:Watercooler (Pikipedia)|forum]] topic about it so the community can decide.  I guess it's all a matter of preference; I prefer the screenshots since they're what you see and...well...I captured a lot of them...{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

Note that since the content area is now dark, visual templates like infoboxes and page footers, and the headers on the main page, will need new styles.  I'm not sure whether it would be easier to start on those before changing the skin - what do you think?  Simply outright changing them would make them look terrible in every other skin, though - I can do some stuff to get them working for all, if you need me to.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

:BNK: background shouldn't be different to the screenshots I posted earlier.  Browser/OS?  A screenshot would help.
:GameFreak: the navigation menu stuff?  Do you mean the colours or the way it opens in-place instead of to the right?  If the former, it's probably because you used your personal monaco.css with the wiki-wide one still containing stuff; if the latter, it's the best thing I could come up with - the change is necessary for complicated reasons, working around various things I couldn't really avoid entirely.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

:::You're just missing an image that's meant to sit on top of the background you're seeing, that gives an overall lighter impression.  It has a fixed position in the browser window, so it moves as you scroll: apparently IE pre-7 doesn't support this, which is why it's not visible.  (The 'fog' stuff is the stuff at the bottom of the page (which should be fine if the fountain is).)
:::I can look into some sort of hack, which would probably involve more JavaScript; or I can set it to stay at the top-left of the screen (not viewport) in browsers without position: fixed support (so it doesn't move as you scroll); or I can leave it as it is and we can make the internet a better place by telling people to use a better browser (one that isn't almost a decade old) if they want things to work properly.  Note that support for IE6 and earlier is being dropped by most sane people.
:::''I think the purple should be lighter along with the background'' - which purple?  Are you saying my previous screenshots aren't what you want any more?  Is this because of the templates (that I've said are fixable)?
:::I also noticed the Wikia logo was missing, caused by me failing at copying the URL; it's now fixed above.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}
::::The general article background (which was originally white), where the text is. The purple is very dark and greatly contrasts with nearly everything on every article. I think that it should be kept white, now, since we have open images with no cropped whitespace, which is visible on a page which has a color other than white. The templates are also affected by the link and text color. <font face="Eurostile" size="3">[[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:#00008B">BNK</span>]]</font><sup> <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Special:EditCount/Blue Ninjakoopa|E]]|[[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|T]]|[[Special:Contributions/Blue Ninjakoopa|C]]]</sup> 21:07, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
:::::...[http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/601/screenshotan.png This]?  If you thought a different content area background color would be an issue, it would've helped to learn it earlier.  However, I see very few 'open' images, which I assume means ones without frames, since [http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/4911/topm.png those look fine], as do galleries.  I can only find them in templates and the main page.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}
::::::Yes, like that. Sorry, I just thought having a purple page color would work well. Open images appear on articles that were featured, won at the Superstar Arena, and on articles on Air Machines and Bikes. <font face="Eurostile" size="3">[[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:#00008B">BNK</span>]]</font><sup> <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Special:EditCount/Blue Ninjakoopa|E]]|[[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|T]]|[[Special:Contributions/Blue Ninjakoopa|C]]]</sup> 21:47, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
:::::::That doesn't look terrible to you?  I'm still wondering how much work it would be to translucent-ify the images, 'cause the ones you listed seem to amount to 10 or fewer, plus the many of them small, and I really hate having the content area different to everything else by a silly amount.  Featured ''articles'' don't seem to have any, just the small excerpt shown on the main page and in the archive (and only for 2 of those?).  I have no idea how to find 'Superstar Arena' winner articles - is there more than that one image on the project page?
:::::::...I don't mean to create too much work in the future, but I like things to be perfect.  While the white content area is an acceptable temporary solution, I doubt there'll be much motivation to change it later on once it's in place...  Iunno.  Also, the question about what to do with the clouds in IE<7 still needs an answer.
:::::::<nowiki>*Thinks a bit more*</nowiki>  I guess...maybe...it looks okay...  Meh, it's up to you/whoever else is involved in this.  I guess don't like to see it being used over a nicer-looking alternative...
:::::::...Completely forgot about GameFreak's Recent Changes thing.  I'm not sure why you're singling out that page, since every page here is transparent.  With that (starry) background, I think it would distract from the text a bit more, but it might look okay.  ...I'm confused as to why you're suggesting what seems like a random thing.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}
::::::::Uh.. well, still, a silly amount is still an amount. I feel the skin has to accommodate ''every'' article. I honestly think a white page color would work and not clash with the overall background if the background itself was lighter. Perhaps you could make the background look more like <s>[this]</s> (if it isn't too much work)? I don't want to make you constantly work. I'd just feel terrible, and at the same time I don't want to just call the project off, as you've worked really hard on it. Superstar Arena winners get a template on their article that places a star at the top right. The same goes for articles that were featured. The project pages themselves don't feature such.
::::::::What was the question again? I can't find it. Also, I, too, am a perfectionist.

...By 'a silly amount', I meant 'a large amount'.  I have [http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/3184/skyc.png this] from a while back, but the pixel-art style clashes with the rest of the page.  If you wanted the cloud things on it too, I failed to get them to tile without looking like it or having a huge image.  Besides, it's not so much the background only as everything else on the page.  Though, like I said, it's not so bad: I just over-reacted because it's (aesthetically) a step down.
To quote: ''I can look into some sort of hack, which would probably involve more JavaScript; or I can set it to stay at the top-left of the screen (not viewport) in browsers without position: fixed support (so it doesn't move as you scroll); or I can leave it as it is and we can make the internet a better place by telling people to use a better browser (one that isn't almost a decade old) if they want things to work properly.  Note that support for IE6 and earlier is being dropped by most sane people.''
...But wait, if you were using IE6, you wouldn't get PNG transparency.  Something else is going on.  What browser are you using?{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}
:''Completely forgot about GameFreak's Recent Changes thing.  I'm not sure why you're singling out that page, since every page here is transparent'' Yes, this is what I meant. --{{User:Gamefreak75/Sig}}
::Yeah, it would cause the same problem as a different-coloured background by effectively making the background a different colour.  BNK, updated the code above to make the content background white.  It means the edit diff view and input boxes and ToCs and categories and thumbnails and stuff don't look as nice, but I tried to come up with decent colours that match the light background they're on and the colours present outside of the content area.  I don't know if you've checked here since my last reply, but I'd still like your browser details to work out why you're not seeing that cloud.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}
:::In response to your question: Currently, on this available computer, Javascript mostly fails to run (hence me not being at the chatroom much) and I'm unsure how to fix it. Right now, I think I have IE8 (I think; it might still be 7, but my computer's damage from being attacked (explained later) won't allow me to download nor update) , but it has its problems ever since my computer was attacked by viruses. Seamonkey is functional, and I use it most, especially for IRC, but it also shows the problems I mentioned with the skin.
:::In response to your first paragraph: Huh? Not that that was worded badly, and I usually understand 'big' vocabulary words, but that paragraph confused me a little. Are you saying that the image I suggested to you clashes, or are you saying that the image you showed me clashes?
:::In response to your recent paragraph: Thanks, I'll give it a look. <font face="Eurostile" size="3">[[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:#00008B">BNK</span>]]</font><sup> <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Special:EditCount/Blue Ninjakoopa|E]]|[[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|T]]|[[Special:Contributions/Blue Ninjakoopa|C]]]</sup> 22:00, August 24, 2010 (UTC)
::::Well, if JS is broken, the fountain image shouldn't be there, and the image you don't see doesn't require any JS.  But I was just checking, in case it might affect a lot of people, but it does sound like it'll probably be just you...
::::The image I linked to is something I generated from the background of the one you gave - they're the same thing.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}
:::::White background for the pages is very ugly and clashing, I liked the original blackish-purple background better, tbh. --{{User:Gamefreak75/Sig}}
::::::Well, yeah, me too.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}
:::::::Well, fuck, if we can't agree...
:::::::@Gamefreak - That's why I suggested a lighter background like the sprite version of the Fountain of Dreams. Clashing can be pretty bad, but I provided ideas on fixing it.
:::::::This is definitely quite the pickle... I mean sticky wicket. I think all in all we just wanted to get rid of that unfitting indigo on the pink skin and tackled this early. <font face="Eurostile" size="3">[[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:#00008B">BNK</span>]]</font><sup> <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Special:EditCount/Blue Ninjakoopa|E]]|[[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|T]]|[[Special:Contributions/Blue Ninjakoopa|C]]]</sup> 00:21, August 26, 2010 (UTC)
::::::::That's what you were getting at suggesting that?  It's not a great deal lighter, has the same problem and introduces worse problems of its own.  As I see it, unless you want to use the darker content area, the above code is a usable finished product.  I don't think it's terrible.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}
