Grey Wikipedia theme, built in Wikipedia - Nicer search box.

Edit: Fixed validation error, links are now bold.
Since no one liked the red orb, its now the standard orb (ignore the screenshot)

beautiful style ...

however if you prefer a darker style ... blacker than the most black hearted style :) ... give this a try

The only things I don't like are it messes up the search box at the moment and I don't like the modified font sizes.

Leave the font sizes the same as they were......

Also, make the logo base64, not from an external host. ****

This is a sweet style... although I had to edit it to make the text black in the search box. ***

Replace the red orb for this one: http://b.imagehost.org/0381/wikilogo_2.png
And set the main texts font a little bit smaller.
Keep working on it, cause you are doing a great job! ****

It's so close to perfect. If you are looking at the edit history of articles, it's impossible to see what's been edited, because all the text is white. It's the same problem with hyperlinks -- all text is white, without any differentiation. If your style can be made to differentiate, it will be top notch. ****

A nice dark theme :)
May needs some more rules for selected/visited links & for active wikipedia users (all those special pages you use after login in). Have made some that i can publish if asked.
Thanks to cupcake! ****

Problem with infoboxes if line of a headline is beneath. Line goes into infobox and maybe crosses infobox text.
Also don't like the red sphere as logo, would prefer some inconspicuous
Search box is not that round so it doesn't look very well.
Top navigation is not fitting into the rest of the style.
Visited link color blue also not fits into style.

My personal opinion is that default font size is a bit too high, but with FF no problem.
Rest is alright, like it very muchl! keep working on it so it goes perfect! ****

i got the code to work w/ all sites, just insert:
domain(wikimedia.org),
domain(wikinews.org),
domain(wikibooks.org),
domain(wikiquote.org),
domain(wikiversity.org),
domain(wikisource.org),
domain(wiktionary.org)

Between "(wikipedia.org)" & "{" in the 1st line ****

very nice but i tend to agree with prk59, apart from that, its damn near perfect, keep up the good work! *****

I really like this style (I use it as a user script with GreaseMonkey) except two little details:
-I don't like the logo (the red sphere)
-The color of the links: white, it makes them difficult to spot...
Beside those two details I really like the script ****

The validation error is from line#6
change the "a:" to "a"... no colon. *****

It looks nice enough to be easier on the eyes, and does match the screenshot.

There's a validation error in the code, though.

Blocks included on wikipedia pages, from other wikimedia or, for instance, some "Part of a series" blocks, do interesting things. Usually just a border color on an unaccounted-for class name.

#bodyContent > h2 , for instance, is allowed to hit the right edge of the page, so its border-bottom is visible behind .infobox content. ***

Very nice! But is there any way to better distinguish between links and regular text? Right now it's a little difficult, but no big deal. *****

Looks fantastic with "Wikipedia major modifications"
