More colours from resourceloader

Now on a laptop with F12 tolls to try to locate where the elusive main colours come from. The URL still has skins.vector.styles.legacy in the list of modules:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/load.php?lang=en&modules=ext.echo.styles.alert%2Cbadge%7Cext.uls.interlanguage%7Cext.visualEditor.desktopArticleTarget.noscript%7Cext.wikimediaBadges%7Coojs-ui.styles.icons-alerts%7Cskins.vector.styles.legacy&only=styles&skin=vector

@media screen{body{background-color:#f6f6f6;overflow-y:scroll}
#mw-page-base{background-color: #fbfbfb ;background-image:linear-gradient(to bottom, #ffffff 50%, #f6f6f6 100%);background-position:bottom left;height:5em}
- div id mw-page-base runs across the top of the page (including behind the globe logo); mw-head-base behind the tabs and userlinks (but not the sidebar). Oddly neither seem to have DOM content.
- g r a d i e n t
- Having trouble picturing how the background colour and gradient interact. Are ff and fb to close for me to see a boundary at 5em?
div id-content class=mw-body is the main content panel, it has a 160px left margin where the sidebar shows.
div id=mw-navigation contains both div id=mw-head (topbar) and div id=mw-panel (sidebar). It is sibling to footer id=footer class=mw-footer. They appear to get their grey colour from @media screen{body...}, though the F12 inspectors aren't helping
.mw-body,.parsoid-body{background-color: #ffffff ;color: #202122 ;direction:ltr;padding:1em} ... .mw-body{margin-top:-1px;border:1px solid #a7d7f9 ;border-right-width:0}
- Main content panel is mini-black text on white background with light-blue border, this sits on top of the light-grey body which only shows through the periphery.
.vector-menu-tabs li{background-image:url(/w/skins/Vector/resources/common/images/tab-normal-fade.png?1cc52);background-image:linear-gradient(to top, #77c1f6 0, #e8f2f8 1px, #ffffff 100%);background-position:left bottom;background-repeat:repeat-x;float:left;display:block;height:100%;margin:0;padding:0;line-height:1.125em;white-space:nowrap}
- This is the blue background gradient for the tabs. Active tab has an overriding style for flat white background. The 1px stop seems an odd way to create a bottom border, but I guess there's a reason for it.
- g r a d i e n t
.vector-menu-portal h3{display:block;background-image:url(/w/skins/Vector/resources/common/images/portal-separator.png?4ab04);background-image:linear-gradient(to right,rgba(200,204,209,0) 0, #c8ccd1 33%,#c8ccd1 66%,rgba(200,204,209,0) 100%);background-position:center bottom;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-size:100% 1px;color: #54595d ;margin:0.5em 0 0 0.66666667em;border:0;padding:0.25em 0;font-size:0.75em;font-weight:normal;cursor:default}
- This has the fade-to-transparent horizontal line in the sidebar sections. Also defines the colour of the headings as dark grey.

This code works, but the MW CSS editor flags it for errors:

:root {
	/* colour names */ 
	--base10: #202122;
 }

 @media screen{
	/* make the border dark, normal is #f6f6f6 */
 	body{background-color: var(--base10);}

Load.php
-------------------------

The CSS served up from that load.php URL is somewhat impenetrable (is probably compiled from LESS and minified), but here's a quick list of some colours that jumped out at me.

.vector-menu-tabs li{background-image:url ...;background-image:linear-gradient(to top,#77c1f6 0,#e8f2f8 1px,#ffffff 100%)

.vector-menu-tabs li a { ...; color:%230645ad; ...}

.vector-menu-tabs .new a:visited{color:#dd3333}
.vector-menu-tabs .selected{background:#ffffff} - selected tab is pure white?

vector-menu-dropdown h3:hover,.vector-menu-dropdown h3:focus{color:#202122}

vector-menu-content{background-color:#ffffff;...;border:1px solid #a2a9b1;...

.vector-search-box-input{background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0.5);color:#000000;...;border:1px solid #a2a9b1;...
Search box is black on translucent white, with a ¿ light blue / blue-grey ? border. 

Search box input placeholder #72777d, border and inset shadow #3366cc

temp for post to rfc

Regretfully, weak oppose for now. You can win me over to support by providing not-logged-in readers with a cookie-based toggle to "switch to old look" (and back again), and measuring the results. Yes we have supportive opt-out data from other wikis, but users without accounts don't yet have that choice. (Aside: can you also instrument to measure when users enable their browser's reading mode? I suspect the numbers would be small.) Caveats: (a) I haven't read all the posts on this long page; there might be a good argument here that changes my mind. (b) I don't see this !vote as mutually exclusive with also posting at the alt proposal (short answer - I'd like to see both a "switch to old look" and a separate width toggle). P.S. shout out to WAID and Peter, I would love to have used Discussion Tools to post a numbered reply here, but had to do a whole-section edit instead. ⁓ Pelagic ( messages ) 09:35, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
