I got sick of people complaining about my white-on-black theme, so I finally did something about it. I reset MediaWiki to its default theme:
http://www.skullsecurity.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

I also tried out two other user-made themes that I liked:
http://www.skullsecurity.org/wiki2/index.php/Main_Page
http://www.skullsecurity.org/wiki3/index.php/Main_Page

Thoughts? What's your favourite?

I personally prefer wiki2.

I prefer wiki3 because it's what I'm used to seeing when I go to any kind of wiki.

EDIT: I would be much happier with wiki2 if the font matched that of wiki3.

One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

I liked the black.
Yeah, the black was cool, but light-on-dark is more difficult to read, especially with a lot of text. Also, links and stuff were difficult to read on older monitors.

Agreed @ Wiki3. I like the cookie cutter wiki theme.

Same. Wikipedia still has my heart.

Wiki2 just looks too much like a generic blog-style site.

I really like Wiki2. It's clean, simple, and easy to read :). Wiki 3 doesn't look nearly as good imo -- gradients against non-white backgrounds don't work for me.  :-\

So we decided to do things differently and we customized the wiki after the blog.

I personally like this look the best, by far. More hackerish, but still readable.

(note: it isn't 100% done)

I like that one a lot. A lot better than the dark blue on black hyperlinks.

External links are still blue on black, which is eww.

As I said, it isn't done yet. :P

Made some more changes, including that one. Still not done, but thoughts?

Yet another update -- made headings/links more yellowy/less greeny. It now matches a lot better with the blog:

(incidentally, make sure you do a hard refresh (ctrl-f5 on firefox))

It's shift in Windows, and option in OSX :P

My friend tried every control key in OSX, but none of them did a hard refresh. He had to clear his cache every time. (older version of OS X, though, so maybe it didn't understand it?)
