Factorio Forums

Is it easy to change the Factorio wiki to a grey/black background with orange headings?

I thought it would be a good idea to have a similar colour scheme to this forum. It can be unpleasant on the eyes when it has got used to the comforting hues of this forum and then a jump to the wiki sears my retina with its brilliant white background.

Dunno. In the end it must be just a change of the CSS file. The problem is the creation of such a file and replacing it, cause those stuff can be made by admins only. No idea.

Found an possibly relevant support thread...

But there is the high danger, that experimentations here will make the wiki unreadable... so we should be very carful with this!

Works!

Are you worried about the text being the same colour as the background?

The wikia wikis often have dark backgrounds, this is vaguely what I had in mind.

When you look at the history, you'll see that I used green, not white. And I had more this in mind.

(But I would make it better readable...)

I agree , I couldn't find a good colour equivalent in any of the wikia wikis. Green writing you say? I saw this, I didn't expect to see red writing.

Here's another possible source of useful info.

If this is done it should be done via a completely new default skin. That way if someone has any difficulty reading it they can just change the skin.

Editing the common.css would not be a good idea since it affects every skin so a user wouldnt be able to get away from it if they wanted to. I suppose something like this would need to be done by the admins since skins require you to include PHP files which would be dangerous if they just decided to take a user created one (since PHP run on the server).
