[edit] Main Page Redesign Draft 5 Now Open For Editing In Preparation Of Draft 6

We're transforming Draft 5 into Draft 6 for the next round of voting which starts Saturday. You are welcome to join in on the fun. CSS will make the source less accessible to the rest of the editors on this project, so I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't apply anything esoteric on the draft. That header from your original draft was almost impossible to work with because only sysadmins have access to the css file that the classes and ids are on. And most of us working on the draft are not sysadmins. Thanks you, and let's have some fun! --Go for it! 02:16, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What about using the Puzzle Globe (without the logo) as background?

...centering it (or off-centering it?) behind the title and navbar. Just a thought. Can you do something like that? I don't know how to work with background images. --Go for it! 02:29, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Can the article title be disabled on a particular page?

(copied from the village pump:)

Hi. I'm on the Main Page Redesign team. I'm looking into possibly turning off the title (H1 heading?) at the top of the page we are working on. We need to see what the Main Page Redesign Draft would look like without the page name showing up on the screen. What is the link to the the documentation on this? --Go for it! 20:25, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

You already have the answer: the same way you turned off the #siteSub, with a hack on MediaWiki:Monobook.js. There is no documentation, of course, since it's a hack. --cesarb 21:03, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Tom,

I'm not a sysadmin, and therefore don't have access to monobook.js. So I'm asking for your help. Would you turn off the page title on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Usability/Main Page/Draft please? --Go for it! 23:50, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Background images

This is one potential design in the Main Page Redesign. Since you started off the redesign, and I am having a problem with the book and magnifying glass drawings that were part of your original design, I've got a question for you if you don't mind. We want to use the magnifying glass as well as the book, but when it is changed from yellow to white (via "EnWpMpSearch" --> "EnWpMpSearch2" in the code) it looks rather gray and ugly. How would one access the "EnWpMpSearch2" image file to alter it (eg, make the surroundings white or transparent, but keeping the color of the magnifying the same)?

[edit] Main Page redesign

We are proud to bring you the final form of your Main Page redesign, with a final vote to ratify it. Remember to vote! Also, we're going to give you the honor of uploading the draft (if accepted) to the actual Main Page.--HereToHelp (talk • contribs) 00:00, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

I'd like to call your attention (since I cite you) to my observations to DL.  ;-) hydnjo talk 00:05, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] IE scrolling fixed

Hi, exactly what does this do, it it still needed and, if so, should it be put into IEFixes.js? —Ruud 19:46, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
