Maybe a gadget for enwiki

edit

Hi all, this is somewhat low on the priority list, so don't hold out that it will be rolled out on the back end soon, but we can still do it on a project, for example the English Wikipedia as a gadget (and then any other project can import or transwiki). Pings to the supporters: Klein Muçi, Javiermes, Ed6767, OwenBlacker, Libcub, JPxG, Uanfala, Thingofme, Shushugah, Bilorv, paul2520. Vulphere, Ayumu Ozaki, Jl sg. This would limit it to "users" and it would certainly be opt-in; but could serve as a foundation for future work. For the css style solution, EXAMPLE OUTPUT it would just be 2 alternating colors; so just need someone to pick what those colors will be (you can pick anything from RGBA). Think about it, ping me here if you want. This would be a "first step" at least, like I said others could expand on it (either gadget-wise, or software wise) if they want of course. — xaosflux Talk 16:18, 19 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

As I said in my support comment, I do not feel this would be very good if just a gadget as it should be targeted at readers, with a very low technical barrier to enabling, and no compatibility issues with other add-ons. — Bilorv (talk) 16:47, 19 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
That is certainly above making a gadget, more like making a skin (or along whatever may become the tool for "dark mode". — xaosflux Talk 19:00, 19 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
Maybe in the future it evolves in more colors that may be specific for certain "topics" but 2 is good in aiding reading. The colors chosen though should be very different from what we currently have on WikiTest because they do the complete opposite of that. :P - Klein Muçi (talk) 10:21, 20 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
Oh yes, those were picked to be obnoxious and obvious - pick 2 new ones! — xaosflux Talk 23:03, 20 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
I think it would be better if the first choice was made by the proposer. Can't really remember who was though. :/ - Klein Muçi (talk) 02:13, 21 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
