New colors

Wouldn't it be time to change the color scheme of IMSLP? It's a little worn off, isn't it?
The problem would be to find every possible template and page to change colors. Can wikis cooperate with css so that the colors are specified on one style sheet ?

Well... you can change the entire skin in the "Skin" tab in "My Preferences"; though at the moment Monobook is the most polished skin (probably also why it is the default). Personally, I'm *horrible* with colors, so I can do almost nothing in that regard. However, if you want to, you can download the Mediawiki source (get the 1.8.2/1.8.3) version, and change the color of the skin (CSS file in the \skins\ directory), and send me the CSS file (or the changes [i.e. DIFF file]). It might also be a good idea to keep track of where exactly you changed; it will come in handy during upgrades.

P.S. Also, I was fumbling around "my preferences", and noticed a very nice setting for Recent Changes ("Enhanced recent changes"), which makes the Recent Changes page a whole lot easier to read imo; with it, each page has its changes grouped, sort of like a forum thread.

Also, I was looking around and this page seemed to have some nice things: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Gallery_of_user_styles
