Wikinews:Custom skin/Latest code

Add links
From Wikinews, the free news source you can write!

This page contains the most recent code from the Wikinews skin currently entered in the Wikinews design contest. Please note that much of the code is still not optimized and contains a lot of unneeded content. The skin is currently done with tables (not CSS, which I am working to revise it into) as the images were originally exported from Photoshop. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by noclip (talk • contribs)

I have tried to update this somewhat as noclips version didn't work for me. Unfortunatly i never actually saw what his final product looked like, so it might be slightly(or a lot) different. The original is available in the history. please note there are still issues needing to be worked out with this. All paths are relative to wherever you installed mediawiki (perhaps /var/www/w, or something along those lines) Bawolff ☺☻ 02:39, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In skins/wikinews/spacer.gif put a 1 pixel big black dot. (I don't think it overly matters if it is actually there. a transparent dot may also work)
