This code is designed to be a "User Style Sheet" for the CS Wiki. This means that these style changes are affixed by the browser, overriding the code used on the site.
User Style Sheets are used to modify the display of the Wiki. Your User Style sheet can be found [[Special:MyPage/esstyle.css|here]] - this is a special page associated with your account and with the skin used on this site, known as ESstyle. Here you can place CSS code to change the layout of the site to make it easier for you to see, read, and edit.


This code only works for Mozilla applications (Firefox, Thunderbird, etc) - there is no standard way to direct a browser to use this code only for this site. Internet Explorer and Opera both have user style sheets that affect all sites - which means that this code may break other sites. Options with other browsers are unknown.
If you do not wish to do the CSS yourself, this page also serves as a repository for CSS code that you can use. This code can be used as your Style Sheet by using the @import command - simply copy and paste the @import command listed for each style into your esstyle.css page to include it in your personal style sheet.


To use this code, determine how your browser handles user CSS. In most cases, it must be saved as a "CSS" file, which is just a text file with a ".css" extension. Open a plaintext editor, copy and paste this code in, and save it with a .css extension. If you are not using Firefox, omit the first, second, and final line of code (marked with comments)
Currently, there is only two public style sheets available:
*For Internet Explorer, there is an option for user CSS in the Accessibility menu (Tools->Internet Options->General->Accessibility).
<ul><li>[[Wiki User Style/Liquid Design.css|Liquid Design]] - copy the following line into [[Special:MyPage/esstyle.css|your esstyle.css file]] to use this style
*For Firefox, by default, you can use the "userContent.css" file in the "chrome" directory of your [http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/profile#locate Firefox profile] (save "userContent-example.css" as "userContent.css" and use that if you do not have one yet). There are better alternatives, however.
<pre>@import "/constwiki/index.php?title=Wiki_User_Style/Liquid_Design.css&action=raw&ctype=text/css";</pre>
*In Opera, you can set your user style sheet in the Style Options menu (Tools->Preferences->Advanced->Content->Style Options).
The Liquid Design style allows the page content to fill your window, so that the black borders are only a small decoration rather than large amounts of wasted space. The banner is modified to fit above the navigation boxes and allow the content to also reach the top of the page. In addition, the navigation boxes are set to stay on screen always, to make the links always handy, and the currently selected tab gets highlighted. Also provides a fix in Firefox for page-stretching code-boxes (unnecessary in Internet Explorer, which will insert wrap the text, and does not work in Opera, which does not support the non-standard "overflow-x" property).</li>
<li>[[Wiki User Style/Thread Archive.css|Thread Archive]] - copy the following line into [[Special:MyPage/esstyle.css|your esstyle.css file]] to use this style
<pre>@import "/constwiki/index.php?title=Wiki_User_Style/Thread_Archive.css&action=raw&ctype=text/css";</pre>
This style sheet enables thread archive pages, which use special style rules which are not (currently) in the general style sheets. Eventually it is planned to include these in the general style sheets, making this unnecessary.</li></ul>


If you are using Firefox, the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2108 Stylish] extension is highly recommended to make this simpler. Install stylish, and then open its Options menu, click Write, and paste this code into it and hit Save (give it a name if you like).
You may also use the style sheets of other users with similar commands, substituting the page title of their esstyle.css pages for the title of the public sheets above.
 
Current features:
*Reduced-width banner, allowing the main content of the page to have the entire height of the screen
*Fixed-position left-hand nav-boxes. This way the boxes will scroll with you as you read the page.
*Highlights for the current Tab you are using (i.e. Article/Discussion/Edit/History).
