You have a lot of control over the appearance of the wiki. You can start by looking through your [[Special:Preferences|preferences]]. Note the "Appearance" tab. Not only can you select an alternate skin here (we recommend Vector), but you'll notice red links for each skin called Custom CSS and Custom Javascript. You can use those to create personal modifications to the appearance or behavior of that skin (these only work when you are logged in). Many examples can be found by looking at custom CSS/JS pages for [http://wiki.oni2.net/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&redirs=1&search=monobook.css&fulltext=Search&ns2=1&title=Special%3ASearch&advanced=1&fulltext=Advanced+search OniGalore] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&profile=advanced&search=monobook.js&fulltext=Search&ns2=1&profile=advanced Wikipedia] users.

An additional customization relies on your custom Javascript page to enable the [[XEB|Extra edit buttons script]]. You can use this script to re-order the buttons in the editing toolbar. You can also add new buttons for all kinds of helpful shortcuts, as well as define your own buttons to perform complex actions using Javascript. It's a great way to avoid memorizing so much markup, and saves time with repetitive tasks.
