User:Brent Dax/Linear skin

Linear (a working name) is a Wikinews skin I'm working on. The basic goals are to:

  • Match the fairly stark look of most news sites.
  • Maximize the amount of screen space devoted to the page's content.

Screenshots: [1] [2]

A few things:

  • I'm developing this on an old, incomplete dump of Wikinews; that's why the articles are old and the images are missing.
  • The user's name is a drop-down menu containing "my talk", "preferences", and so on.
  • I still need to do a few more things:
    • Port many omitted style rules over from MonoBook
    • Make it work properly in Internet Explorer
    • Complete testing and tweaking in other browsers
    • Find a better way to extract the category information
    • Convince myself it's actually good enough
