Forum:December Skin

Discuss Christmas skin! I recoloured the MonoBook skin and of course using the usual Christmas background.-- Mystic Monkey   is at  Holoska  this  Christmas    _   01:05, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

Snow Effect
This December I have made it snow on SNN. That is it should for you. I would like to know if it's snowing for you on SNN. I would also like to know which wikia skin you're using and/or if the snow is causing you any problems like graphic bugs or lagging. Even I am concerned that there is twice as much snow as there should be.

If the snow is more trouble than beautiful then I pull remove the common.js code for users sake.-- Mystic Monkey   is at  Holoska  this  Christmas    _   00:30, December 1, 2012 (UTC)



I like it! seems radical! it very pretty and ain't causing me problems

Well I knocked the snowfale ammount from 100 to 35. If my suspicion is correct that theres some sort of double-feed of the program than it should be 70 flakes now and hopes this makes it more easier to navigate SNN.-- Mystic Monkey   is at  Holoska  this  Christmas    _   00:39, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

I'm using the new Wikia skin, my computer slows down a lot and my Flash wasn't responding. Pacmansonic138 (talk) 01:14, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

Wow, Mystic, great background! Love the colors, love the snow, the amount of snow for me is perfect! I was wondering if maybe you could give the Sonic head's Santa hats? You don't have to, but I think that would look cool. Thunder the Hedgehog 01:29, December 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I find the background fine as it is. Having it simply a recoloured background of the default SNN background gives it a Christmassy wrapping paper feel while not over complicating it. If I add Santa hats I think it will be a fickle and be too much of a distraction for background.-- Mystic Monkey   is at  Holoska  this  Christmas    _   01:50, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

The snow looks amazing, the background is fantastic. All we need to do now is get a new wordmark and change the color of the buttons. -- 02:03, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

The snow actually doesn't show up for me, and it is a bit laggy. Particularly in edit mode. This may be a Monobook-only problem, as I use Monobook.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 02:26, December 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * I made sure both skins were in mind when I made it snow. Itry refreshing your cache or whatever it's called, that might work. As a MonoBookian it's snowing for me as if should for the other skin.-- Mystic Monkey   is at  Holoska  this  Christmas    _   03:04, December 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Snow still isn't showing up for me and I'm still laggy. Might simply be that my computer sucks. Perhaps I should ask Santa for a new one...  Trak Nar  Ramble on 03:12, December 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Can you quickly switch to the modern skin just temporarily and see if it snows for you then?-- Mystic Monkey   is at  Holoska  this  Christmas    _   04:25, December 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Still not showing up. I'm getting the symbol for a font that my computer can't display. A little box with the numbers "2798" in. It may simply be my computer, it's nearing ten years old.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 04:35, December 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Does sound older than mine, and my computer is considered elderly by PC standards.-- Mystic Monkey   is at  Holoska  this  Christmas    _   17:59, December 2, 2012 (UTC)

I love the background, and the snow here is fine!

Logo
All right so i have created a series of logos! the middle one is the bottom one as it was small (the bottom is actually an HD version) and i really like the top one as it resembles Christmas (sorry no minimized one :<) i found the HD logo on Google and looked off the page it was actually from. It seems to be from an old forum before i joined the wiki SO CREDIT TO THE PERSON WHO MADE IT! so what do you guys think?

I think the first one is a good choice. The second logo is just a recolor of the original, and it looks like it's just to make the wiki look more of a Sonic one (with the blue in it). The first one has a snowflake in the middle, and that sends the message that this wiki is celebrating Christmas. But I say get rid of the Sonic picture in the first one, as it may take up more space. And if one were to choose the second one, I say take out your art of Sonic and Amy, because it is fan art that shouldn't be used to represent the wiki. Other artists on the wiki may find it offensive how your art was chosen to represent the site, when they may feel that they could've done it better. That'll lead to competition, unwanted rivalry between users, jealousy, flaming, and many, many issues in the community. It's best to stick to official Sonic Team art, but even then, I still think the Sonic images should be left out, and just leave the logo. It looks better when I view it.
 * The first one. I agree that you should avoid using fan art whenever possible, and if you have to use artwork, stick to official artwork.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 03:09, December 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * I also like the 1st one. 12:37, December 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd pick the first one any day. For all the reasons Metal stated. 12:42, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

All going well I hope?-- Mystic Monkey   is at  Holoska  this  Christmas    _   03:04, December 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hm, it could be each snowflake is expanding the page as it passes by. Im sorry but I dunno how to fix that.--<span style="background-color: silver; border-bottom:4px inset red; border-left:4px outset red; border-right:4px outset red; border-top:4px inset red;"><font color="#1CD3A2"> Mystic Monkey   is at  Holoska  this  Christmas    _   17:19, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

Everything's going fine for me. I get why the Santa hats would be a bit distracting, and the snow and background look great. As for the logo, I love the first one, and I personally think that we should keep the Snowboarding Sonic in it. It looks so Christmassy! (Is that a word?)If it takes up to much space get rid of it, but I think that it makes the logo look awesome. Thunder the Hedgehog 13:01, December 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * I think christmassy is legit.--<span style="background-color: silver; border-bottom:4px inset red; border-left:4px outset red; border-right:4px outset red; border-top:4px inset red;"><font color="#1CD3A2"> Mystic Monkey   is at  Holoska  this  Christmas    _   17:19, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

AWWW YEAH!!!! i edited the logos and added more logos enjoy!
 * I like the top logo and the bottom logo. While the Sonic/Chao logo is cute, due to the Chaos there, it makes that graphic a bit too busy to use for a logo.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 03:57, December 2, 2012 (UTC)

I like the bottom 2 logo's. Preferably the last one which is simples yet pretty.--<span style="background-color: silver; border-bottom:4px inset red; border-left:4px outset red; border-right:4px outset red; border-top:4px inset red;"><font color="#1CD3A2"> Mystic Monkey   is at  Holoska  this  Christmas    _   17:59, December 2, 2012 (UTC)

The logo with Santa Sonic and the Chao works perfectly. Pacmansonic138 (talk) 20:20, December 2, 2012 (UTC)

I fixed part of the Chao one cause it was messed up a little.

Per Mystic; I think the Chao one is the best. 20:29, December 3, 2012 (UTC)
