UnknownEnigma - In the meantime, would you be interested in meeting another who is considered a hero? TALK - Your existence is worth nothing! Good evening/morning/day/afternoon everyone. If you haven't known already, the khwiki has received a new skin! If you would like to checkout the new skin please be sure to try it out. I just started a new forum here, so that anyone who has any suggestions to make improvements or notices any problems with colors, or anything of that nature can come here and place them. Remember, be honest, and constructive criticism is always welcome. Also, be sure to thank Erry and SilverCrono (and whoever else I may have missed) for working on the new skin for us! Edit: Sorry, I inadvertently credited the wrong "Erry." I meant the "erry" not ErryK. (AAAArggh) 18:45, 20 February 2011 (EST)

AS IF! The world is garbage! CRUNCH! Here we go... The search bar should be moved to the right, and the magnifying glass image should be made smaller and less pixelated. The headers for all articles should be dark blue instead of the current light blue, and should have a different font if possible. The "navigation", "interaction", and "toolbox" headers should have different fonts. Tabs in articles should not be the same color as the background; it looks awkward. That's all I can think of right now.

SilverCrono Well, I can tell who you are. — "Looks like you're prepared." "What is with you and picking up stray puppies?" — 19:16, 20 February 2011 (EST) Alright, I'll see what I can do. Please, guys, explode and tell me every single one of your concerns and stuff; this skin won't get better unless you do. This isn't Wikia and Oasis, I'll listen to your opinion :)

maggosh The steel is forged... — "Souls as far as the eye can see..." "If you want light to rule over all, then you must rid the world of everything else." *I think the search bar should be longer and aligned to the left. TAV should be shifted to the right as to not be obscured by the logo. The main page, discussion, etc. buttons look out-of-place. The Search mag. glass looks pixellated.

Mega Sword-chucks Dr. Light's Lab Talk Page — I let the Mega-Buster do the talking. Sorry, am I too blue for you? What up with the boxes? I mean, I can read the messages just fine when I edit the page. But otherwise, monobook does not like.

RoxasNobody - You make a good other. TALK - No one would miss me. -22:10, 20 February 2011 (EST) My humble opinions... The search bar should be longer and not in the center, and the magnifying glass should be smaller. Page titles should be more visible and aligned center. The "navigation", "interaction", and "toolbox" headers look blurry. The "Edit" button should be smaller so as not to be a distraction. Pictures are surrounded by a white box, but that's just a peeve of mine. Otherwise, it looks great!

DoorToNothing — I dreamed last night... I got on the boat to Heaven! And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 22:40, 20 February 2011 (EST) No. Okay, not to be totally negative about it, but I can't really say I like it, aesthetically or functionally. First of all, IT IS SO SLOW. As soon as I started using roundedblue, everything became slower, and by a very large amount. I'm pretty sure it taking at least fifteen seconds for even "Random page" to produce something. I didn't have this issue with Monobook. The font seems to have changed as well, for the worse. I don't like how the text is now larger, bold now pops more/takes up more space than before, and headers of pages blend in way too much--plus, they just look too subtle. One thing to be fixed is to revert the fonttype to the Monobook form. Also, the tabs in infoboxes seem to be affected as well; the only indicator of the selected tab is an outline, which I find far inferior to the previous box outline. And is it just me, or are the headers seemingly oversized too (especially the [edit] text)? Furthermore, the tabs above that say edit, discussion, move, and so forth aren't even connected to the article, and float awkwardly. Then, when you hover over them, the tab itself disappears--that just simply looks bad, as though something is wrong. Similarly, in the top bar, the microscope looks rather atrocious, all pixelated. Is it possible to maybe extract an image used by another wiki using a microscope? I'm not very fond of the placement of our logo either--it doesn't do it much justice to have our big TVA image to the right, and then have our actual logo that links back to the wiki in the very corner of the page, looking very diminished. I'm not sure if it would look any better centered, so it may be just be the banner art. Now, the side bar is also an issue. I quite liked the expandable side bar we had on Monaco, pre-Oasis. I thought that we were planning on retrieving this design for the new skin. As far as the boxes, they have no consistency in header font. The header font also, in my opinion, should be something more formal, and less playful--the latter of which pertains to its current state. This is the big one for me: images. In all of the thumbnail images, a horrid white box surrounds the image, looking awkward, as though something is incorrectly sized or placed. And then, oh, the galleries. I weep for them in this skin. All the images now have TWO boxes surrounding them--one as before, another surrounding the direct borders of the image. As if this wasn't bad enough, hovering over them will sometimes produce a blue line that dashes through the image. Summary: DoorToNothing found a lot of problems. Like, really, a lot.</Azul> Also, whatever happened to those plans of kicking the BBS theme to the curb and doing the impossible!? That's right, a full series theme, combining elements of the entire series. I was thinking our logo trio could be Sora, Donald, and Goofy or Sora, Roxas, and Ventus. Actually, we had a very large forum about these plans, but I don't remember where it is.

AS IF! The world is garbage! CRUNCH! Yeah, DTN. I noticed a lot of the things you said too. Remember, though: this is a HUGE work in progress. I do have a lot of the same complaints; I've even stated some of them already. That being said, I do like the new skin overall, but it is nowhere near done. I don't really know what can be done about the speed (it didn't change for me), but as for everything else... take it away, SilverCrono!

UnknownEnigma - In the meantime, would you be interested in meeting another who is considered a hero? TALK - Your existence is worth nothing! Interesting points you have brought up DTN. Those are the kind of thoughts and questions/concerns we're looking for about the skin. This way the skin can become really good, so it can be shared with the rest of the internet. This is going to be the skin to represent the wiki, and, as such, it should look like the best wiki around (as well as the best wiki too ^_^).
