Doom Wiki:RFC/Maptabs template

I would like to advance the status of discussion on Template:Maptabs, for which I requested additional input over the last couple of months but have received no additional replies. I recently revised Common.css to give the widget a less gaudy grayscale color scheme that should be skin neutral.

Discussion

 * It's better now. The question of rounded corner vs. angled corner remains, though; personally I would prefer a uniform style -- it doesn't matter to me whether it's rounded corners on everything, or square corners on everything, I just want it to be consistent. I have pretty much nothing further to say. --Gez (talk) 07:05, 21 August 2015 (CDT)


 * I agree that the big rounded corners look out of place, but there is (at least) one other area that already employs rounded corners: the User Page & Discussion tabs atop a user page. The border-radius is 7px there, much smaller than the 1em used in the maptabs template. Applying this value temporarily (via ) to CSS class "dw-tab" makes them look fine IMO, and I'd prefer them to completely rectangular corners. Quasar, could you apply that value so that others can easily review it? Then maybe we can wrap up this RFC soonish. :) --Xymph (talk) 15:51, 24 April 2016 (CDT)


 * The element to which you refer is skin-specific and only appears in the Monaco skin, which is this site's default. Many of our users dislike that skin however and use the older standard MediaWiki MonoBook theme instead, which uses strictly square tabs with no more than 1px borders. Redoing the CSS to be more neutral is not impossible, but the current look is not inspired by nor meant to look in place only within Monaco to begin with. Monaco still has mostly square borders as well. However rounded borders do not have to be an all-or-nothing thing; why not use them where they are OK or appropriate? I already unrepentently used them to create Template:GamePicsPortal and will not be undoing the styling on that component as I think it looks very cool personally. --Quasar (talk) 22:28, 24 April 2016 (CDT)
