===How To Customize OniGalore===
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 (Modern and Vector are especially nice), 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).

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.


Sample customizations can be found in [[User:Iritscen/monobook.css]], including anchoring the background and sidebar in place, and rounding off those sharp corners on boxes in the MonoBook skin. Many more examples can be found by searching the custom CSS/JS pages of 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.
