* Decide if we need a completely new custom skin, or modify an existing skin.

*:Well, Monobook is already completely customized, and I believe Dolphin can be customized to look like old Chrono Wiki's Oasis, so I'm all for modifying existing skins. We don't need to get any more, we have plenty already. --{{SC/Sig}} 18:36, 6 August 2011 (CDT)

*:I don't think this is necessary; deleting optional skins seems a lot like Wikia in that we are disabling choice and user preferences. I definitely don't think we need useless, barebones skins like Chick, Simple, or MySkin, but deleting things like Modern or Dolphin sounds a bit harsh. --{{SC/Sig}} 18:36, 6 August 2011 (CDT)

*::Making the site look nice on multiple different skins is tough.  Especially keeping the css/js up to date.  For example, with Metroid Wiki, since everything is purple, the site looks terrible in any non-power skin.  With StrategyWiki, things are being built for a fixed width skin, so having things flowing around on really wide screens often looks terrible.  I'm all for choice, but if the site is going to look terrible, and noone wants to fix it, I don't think it's worth it. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] 18:55, 6 August 2011 (CDT)

*All skins: the Forum link in the sidebar is broken.
* Pick the default skin.
===BlueCloud===
*In BlueCloud, the Toolbox has links with "<" and ">" appearing, making reading impossible.

*:After StrategyWiki switched to Dolphin, BlueCloud was no longer actively maintained.  The php code for that one is actually pretty hacky, which is why we were happy to switch away from it. And then with 1.17, mediawiki changed the way some things are handled and we just never had the time/motivation to fix it. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] 01:13, 7 August 2011 (CDT)

*In Power, navigation templates display awkward white backgrounds, when they should be transparent. (Could be fixed by rewritting templates).
*:I would suggest avoiding Power, as it's based on Monobook, and I don't think purple is really a chrono colour :). -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] 17:36, 6 August 2011 (CDT)
*::But it's my favorite Dx. Edit: Now using BlueCloud, since it's pretty popular and looks nice. Another bug with Power are the buttons. Publish, preview, and save are oblong land misshapen. --—[[User:Deyvid Petteys| <span style="color:#4B0082; font face=Edwardian Script ITC;">Radical D </span>]] <small> [[User talk:Deyvid Petteys| <span style="color:#BA55D3; text-shadow: yellow 0 0 4px 4px;"> <sup>(bother \ </sup></span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Deyvid Petteys|<span style="color:#BA55D3; text-shadow: yellow 0 0 4px 4px;"> <sup>stalk)</sup></span>]]</small>  17:40, 6 August 2011 (CDT)
*Absolutely no BlueCloud customization works.

*:This is a weird one; I've implemented the same changes to User:SilverCrono/bluecloud.css both here '''and''' StrategyWiki, and the changes only happened at SW, before and after clearing my cache. Prod, you have any idea why this is happening? --{{SC/Sig}} 20:02, 6 August 2011 (CDT)

*In BlueCloud, enlarge the font. People who wear glasses and have terrible vision, find it incredibly difficult to read.
