utterance to the following:
I think that saying it is "a new default
skin" is not the way to go.
Rather, first implement it as an alternative skin, and only then start
seeing whether people want it as the default skin.
Andre Engels
No.
Our default skin is terrible.
What precisely is terrible about it?
IMO...
- It leaves the user in control of font family and size, which is very
good.
- It is white-on-black, which is too contrasty for optimal reading for me -
bad.
- When not logged in, do we really need the redundancy of certain links
which are on the left as well as at top and bottom? (I would suggest left
and bottom only, putting the article higher, the biggest problem being the
width of the special pages selectbox.
