Again, we have plenty of time to discuss this and make tweaks. This is NOT something that has to be decided upon now. I brought this idea up on the IRC before creating this forum, and I got a great deal of support from the active Wikians that were present at the time. Let's hope for the best.}}

Also, for the background symbol-things, we could always covert the current one to show the symbols from the [[:File:Reckhcover.jpg|cover art]] or [[:File:Kingdomhrct.png|title screen]]... What do you guys think?}}

{{EO|time=19:34, October 15, 2010 (UTC)|text=I also forgot to mention that eventually this can branch into a vote if things get chaotic. But now's not the time. To those of you against this, wait and see what develops before you waltz in and shut an idea down. This has to be a '''''COMMUNITY''''' decision, remember.
Also, looking at the image I provided for the characters used in the logo, we could use Data Sora, Jiminy Cricket, and King Mickey to switch things up a bit... We can see how both look in the logos, I guess.
EDIT 19:36, October 15, 2010 (UTC): Dan, those symbols are better than the data, but there are too few for usage, unless we can somehow multiply them into a wallpaper like what we have now. The data stream may be a bit overpowering, but I think it will work better. We can see how both look, if someone makes a logo and tries both backgrounds, showing us screenshots they got via Print Screen afterwards for us to decide upon.}}
{{Maggosh|nathan=I agree; this way it comes full circle, and we've had a wiki theme for each game in the past trilogy.}}
{{ErryTalk|text=Yes, I agree.}}
{{ShardofTruth|time=19:56, October 15, 2010 (UTC)|talk=Does it really make sense to develop a new theme if Oasis is forced on us in two weeks?}}
{{EO|time=20:00, October 15, 2010 (UTC)|hooded=If we do move, then we can adapt this theme to our new location. If we can somehow cope with Oasis, we can do it here. Oasis is no contributing factor to this, at least at the moment and when we have THREE WHOLE MONTHS to deal with it and deciding this theme or not doing it.}}
{{LapisScarab|time=20:05, October 15, 2010 (UTC)|inverse=I approve.}}
{{Keyblade0|time= 16:30, October 15, 2010|hood=I approve of the Re:Coded theme.}}
{{Organization 13|happy=I like it. :D}}
{{The Inexistent|base='''Well... for the background wall paper, istead of keeping the black and blue lettering, could we use something similar to this:'''
<!--[[File:Back.png]]-->'''???'''
'''I say this because, while the back.ong retains the actual qualities of the image, using something like it would stop the wiki from having a dark look.  A wiki with a dark header image and white for the rest doesn't sound like it would work.'''}}
::This is a good image to use, but it's the same case as Dan's suggestions. We can see various combinations of logos and backgrounds before we finally make a decision. - {{User:EternalNothingnessXIII/Sig}} 21:49, October 15, 2010 (UTC)
{{The Inexistent|com='''Or we could do this:'''
<!--[[File:Back2.png]]-->
'''The new symbols are featured in black.  I added Jiminy's and Roxas' symbols, as they, along with Sora and Mickey (whose symbols are still on there) heavily influenced the story line of the game.  And, of course, I kept the heart.'''}}
{{EO|time=22:24, October 15, 2010 (UTC)|talktext=We want to go with official things only, which is why I suggested the data and supported Dan's idea for the symbols used on the boxart.}}
{{The Inexistent|dl='''I agree completely.  I was merely suggesting the use of Jiminy's symbol from the ultimania.'''}}
{{Dan da Man36|time=16:48, October 17, 2010 (UTC)|halloween=Another idea for the symbols would be using the top section of [http://kingdomheartsrecoded.com/uk/ this] page in a similar fashion to the [http://ratchet.wikia.com/wiki/Ratchet_%26_Clank_wiki Ratchet & Clank Wiki], possibly with the trio wiki logo on the top left?}}
{{AxelLivesOn|time=16:57, October 17, 2010 (UTC)|scary=I like Dan's idea on the background symbols. It seems better than the random computer words...}}
{{Xion4ever|time=17:59, October 17, 2010 (UTC)|text=As of right now, I'm currently against changing themes for one main reason: As ShardofTruth pointed out, what's the point in switching themes if it's only for one day? Why spend all that time and work for something that might not even be used? Another concern of mine is a matter of priorities. As of now, we have no idea if we're moving, if Wikia is removing/sticking with the skin, and so on. We should be focused on that discussion at the present time. I'd rather start working on moving preparations than a theme change. If we have to leave, I'd much rather have our articles secured and ready to move, than on optional, not mandatory theme. See my point?
It's like those emergency kits they tell you to make in elementary school: have it ready just in case the emergency happens.
Once a definite answer has come from central Wikia, then my opinion could change. But know this, if the KHW has to move, I am against this theme change. (This is under the mindset that the wiki moves) Once the wiki moves and gets the articles settled and
everything else settled, then I'll be more open to theme changes. For now, I believe we all should be focused on moving preparations/ideas.
(This is under the mindset that the KHW doesn't move) As long as users don't focus mainly on the theme change (we still need people to edit articles, categorize, etc.), I'm all up for ''ideas'' and ''examples''. Similar to what ENX, TNE, myself and a few others did in preparation for the BBS theme change. Like I said earlier, as long as users don't focus solely on optional wants, I'm fine for ideas/discussions/what have you with a theme change. One other important detail I should add: (Yes, it does involve time) We switched over to the BBS theme around July/August/September, correct? <small>Somewhere in that range, I forget exactly when...</small> I don't see much reason in changing themes right away all because we heard a release date (whether the release date be true or false). Let's give the current skin a little more time (meaning a few months), then I'm all up for changing. My main reason for the present is that some users will focus on the optional project instead of editing the Wiki. There's also other concerns like: lots of talk page discussions about theme change/edits to theme change that don't really go to towards the theme change, but hey, we get higher edit counts!
In short: In my opinion, let's hold off on changing themes right away. If you want to create a few small ideas/examples, go for it. As long as you edit the Wiki just as equal as you work on the project. I'm not trying to be mean or hurt anyone's feelings, this is simply my view on the subject.}}
