Has this been looked at? getting a new look for the grimepedia?

Just thinking it looks very wikipedia-ish and doesn't look like it has it's own identity, especially since the logo in the top left corner disappeared.

Sorry I didn't even clock, I just remembered there was a time when the logo wasn't there, thought I'd insert it in there to push my point lol...my bad. But the point still remains.

logo looks funny when it's small though, like the MC is sippin on a glass of milk.

You download them and drop the folder into the "skins" folder under the wiki directory. Then to use them you go in "my preferences" once you've logged onto the wiki and select the skin.

They aren't that straight forward to edit though if you are trying to change backgrounds, here are some I'd say would be good skins to work from:

Easy to do just get a decent layout and just change colours, images, fonts and so on take under a day to complete.
