Hello All, I am somewhat new to administering wikis and am trying to get a new MediaWiki instance up using the Foreground skin [0]. I am familiar with CSS and wikis, not so much PhP. I have been able to customize the header, add a logo and add a horizontal list of links. I like Foreground as it leaves the center screen area open for content. Would someone be able to point me to directions for how to customize the sidebar (navigation) content? Right now the Navigation menu is black while the rest of the top bar I've customized to green. I believe that I should be able to do this using CSS, but I have not yet been successful. Also, are there examples for how to set up tabs? I have found examples for Grid, but not tabs. Thank you!

Thank you Karsten! Very helpful. And my bad for missing the link to the Tab documentation. I appreciate the help!
