Template update problem
I see you've updated several templates. While that's good and all, some of the background colors have changed, making some of the text completely unreadable! Black on black just doesn't work... HungryPaperweight 12:15, 27 January 2011 (CST)
 * It looks fine on my side, though. Oh, and I suggest updating the other templates (which I'm not really good at) like the Summons template when there's enough time...^_^ Vortex World 12:19, 27 January 2011 (CST)
 * Well, maybe your computer has more contrast, but I've tried two different computers and in both cases the text on the side is pretty much illegible. HungryPaperweight 12:32, 27 January 2011 (CST)
 * I honestly didn't change any colors. Really. I used the exact same colors as before.... what browser are you using/what version? Also, which one in particular/what spot..~ dkpat 18:02, 27 January 2011 (CST)
 * Browser? *Opens Firefox* Ahhh, I see. It only looks screwed up on Internet Explorer... Which is a whole other problem, because I doubt I'm the only one around who prefers Explorer (I honestly don't see why everyone disses it...) HungryPaperweight 20:47, 27 January 2011 (CST)
 * Why dis it? Things like this exactly... -sigh- I'll see what I can do ~ dkpat 21:22, 27 January 2011 (CST)
 * Umm.. I can't reproduce it with my IE.... please don't tell me you have IE6....(It is the bane of ever web designer in the world)~ dkpat 21:26, 27 January 2011 (CST)
 * I hate IE so much... Please tell me this one looks normal to you now Template:Items ~ dkpat 22:43, 27 January 2011 (CST)
 * Don't worry, it looks normal now. I still don't see why everyone hates Explorer, but, whatever. HungryPaperweight 23:04, 27 January 2011 (CST)
 * Everyone hates IE because it is the worst browser for web designers. It is not standards complaint, IT takes code and makes it do things completely different from every other browser/what it is supposed to do, and It has market share, so web designers are forced to design specifically for IE AND every other major browser. in this particular case, IE isn't accepting a short hand code for the Color. (It could be much worse)~ dkpat 23:10, 27 January 2011 (CST)
 * Sounds like one of those things you just have to experience to understand. Anyways, there's one other template that comes up as black (Only for the GS and TLA headings). I was going to fix it myself after seeing what you did, but that template uses different colors entirely and I don't know where to find a list of what to type to get certain colors... HungryPaperweight 10:34, 28 January 2011 (CST)
 * I got it fixed. Basically, Color codes can be shortened to 3 characters (sometimes.) In that template "#cfc" and "#ccf" which are changed to "#ccffcc" and "#ccccff", respectively. Thanks for the warning all the same!~ dkpat 17:40, 28 January 2011 (CST)

A suggestion
Hey, I just remembered something. Now where was it... Ah! Here it is! I think this is supposed to be included in templates to quickly allow people to edit the template or visit its talk page. I don't know why it hasn't been included in other templates already, but since you're revamping templates all over the wiki, I thought maybe you'd want to know about this! HungryPaperweight 19:11, 30 January 2011 (CST)
 * heh... I'm personally against that. To me, it just kinda detracts from the template its self. Now, if someone else agrees that it should be implemented, then I'll go back and add it in to them. I'm not an overlord, lol, If i'm outnumbered I'll go with the majority :P ~ dkpat 19:14, 30 January 2011 (CST)
 * Meh, fair enough. I just wanted to make sure you knew about it. Personally, I find it to be fairly convenient, but that's just from an editor's perspective. From a visitor's perspective, though, I suppose it would be distracting. Plus, I'm not an expert with templates, so I'll trust your judgment on this one ;) HungryPaperweight 19:21, 30 January 2011 (CST)

Skin
I come from the Kingdom Hearts Wiki that just moved off-wiki. Is there any way I/we can get a copy of the skin you made? We'd like something like that over there. If you could, please contact me here. Thanks! --68.51.128.115 22:09, 9 February 2011 (CST)

Alright, we've got Rounded Blue on our wiki. However, I would like to ask you some coding questions. We are in the process of customizing it to our liking, but I (as the leader behind all the css) have no idea how to change/access the Search Bar, Portlet/Navigation Bars, Add a link to the Main Page from the bg.jpg image, etc, etc. Is there anyway you could help or link to a page with this information? Thank you. --SilverCrono 00:56, 20 February 2011 (CST)
 * For the most part, this skin uses images for all the colors. the search buttons are images, as well as the top image, and all the rounded corners/content background. (so.. that is pretty much everything but text. lol) all the images titled "cs____.gif, fb____.gif, sb____.gif, and Sheet__.gif need to be changed to the colors you want your wiki to use.
 * If you want to get rid of the magnifying glass on the search, you could simply delete the files, but that wouldn't be the best solution. The best thing would be to open the css file and search for where it calls that file, and remove it.
 * To edit the portlets, that is a media wiki thing. Go to http://www.khwiki.net/MediaWiki:Sidebar to edit that.
 * Hope I helped ~ dkpat 09:21, 20 February 2011 (CST)
