Another front page layout change

Thank you for the input. Did you check through both of the tabbers?
 
Okay. Thanks for the evaluation.
 
Fixes that can be applied to the front page Media icons. I still have sources for them.
 
So far, The Real World seems to be one of these two uncategorized verses. Should we keep it as is? Same goes for mythology, the second one, because it can't be given a category from what Media category offers. The problem is that the Media sense is not applicable to the Real World at all.
 
Another uncategorized verse, or rather, multiverse that deserves its separate Media entity is folklore. It is independent enough to be another Media member.
 
I am not sure what you are suggesting regarding the 3 verse pages in question.
 
I'm questioning about their relation to Media categories that are given in the front page. Because they can't be given a category from what current Media entities can offer, I'm questioning about creating new Media categories: mythology and folklore. They are independent enough to have their own media categories. But what about the Real World? We can't give it a media sense at all! However, it is independent enough to not be categorized by any Media category.
 
Mythology and Folklore would probably fit best in in a "The Real World" category since they originate from the real world and have real world connections. I can't imagine creating a whole new media category just for The Real World alone.

That would work the best. Thanks!
 
I don't think that we should have separate icons in the front page from the real world, mythology, and folklore alone. Single verse pages are not enough to qualify for their own categories.

Understandable. (Edit: This can be discussed in other thread) Also I'm sorry for derailing the thread.

Anyways, the front page looks great now!
 
For some reason I'm getting suspicious for the logotype's hue (a bit) and saturation mismatch among the usual set of colors being used in this wiki.

Edit: I'd like to change the hue and saturation of the logotype, so that it would match the set of colors being used there.
 
I used an eyedropper tool to get the colour for the new template, and I assume that Kavpeny's designer friend did the same for the logotype.
 
You were correct. The logotype uses #3d69b2, and the rest of the wiki uses #006caf.

I suppose that you can try to modify the logo, but it is hard to properly do so, given that the text uses shadows.
 
I have inserted it into the front page on a trial basis, but will remove it if the community disagrees.

On second thought, I would prefer to keep the logotype the way it is.

Would you be willing to change the front page category icons to use #3d69b2 as a background colour instead?

No problem. I'll do it at weekends since that school is starting for me.
 
Okay. Thank you very much for the help. After you are done, I can hopefully update all or most of the other colours as well.

And thus, the wiki front page was pimped out like a lowrider.
 
I have now updated the front page colours (except for the category icons) to match the logo colour.

Do you think that this is a better theme for the wiki, or should I change it back?
 
Personally speaking, it seems a bit moody for my taste.
 
It means how many accounts that have been active during the last month, or so I think.
 
Anyway, to me the old theme gave a more upbeat and happy impression. Perhaps the change is unnecessary?
 
Perhaps Skalt711 could use #006caf as a background colour for the category icons instead?
