Board Thread:New on Merlin Wiki/@comment-4623180-20120915090453

Our users love our current theme and it is an integral part to the experience of this Wiki. I put lots of time into getting it to how it was. I've got many compliments saying how it is very distinctive and overall more consistent compared to how it used to be, and in comparison to most other Wikis on the web. This standard does take a strong focus and a bit of obsession.

So that's why, for my next design decision, I'd like the community to have a say, as I take the design of this Wiki seriously and would like an optimum experience.

While some may argue "don't fix it if it's already fixed", that's true, but the current background and theme, despite being less than a year old, is ageing as we have new promotional material for Series 5 out and to have our Wiki fresh the design must reflect the new season of Merlin to show we're up to date.

So here is the new wallpaper, which will be scaled to fit like the current one does. It will give the Series 5 feel and should hopefully pump some Seris 5 excitement into viewers!

To go with this, I'll also give the parchment wallpaper a whit-ish, blueish coating to go with the snow theme, the buttons a blue tint, and make the links blue.

Of course you may beg to differ! So I'm looking for some approval and useful feedback that is not just for the sake of hating change. That's like saying don't make more Merlin because the last episode was good! We want more, it's the way society works, but we want it to be a little, or a lot, better! Thank you and I hope I can get enough feedback to get this new theme up and running. I will be trialling it in fair time as well, so I need your voice to make it permanent!
