Full Version: Is the Wiki/MyBB skin used here available?

I would like to add a forum to my MediaWiki site, or actually add my MW site to a forum, and would prefer the forum and the wiki use the same skin. User integration between the two is not something I need. The best fit I've seen anywhere is what I've seen here: http://wiki.mybboard.net/ Is that skin available or is there something similar?
We didn't release the skin for public yet. Maybe some time in the future.
It probably won't be released since it would be awkward if there were other sites using the exact same layout as MyBB but for another purpose.
Wait, you mean the whole design they are using for mybb? Toungue

I can understand the desire to have something unique on the project's home site, and it's certainly no business of mine if they want it unique, but I can't see why it would be awkard to release it. Most OS and even commercial forums do release the skin they are using on their website. In my opinion it helps promote brand recognition.

No, I'm looking for a MediaWiki skin that matches a forum's skin like they've done here: http://wiki.mybboard.net so I can have the same look and feel throughout the site. Nowhere else have I seen a better match.

There is a commercial skin for vBulletin that includes user integration (something I don't need) and an add on for IPB that is similar but as you can see - neither really mesh that well with the forum skins. There's also a Monobook skin for SMF but again it's really not that great a match (I would rather have the MW skin match the forum skin instead of vice versa).
Both the wiki and forum layout were adjusted to match the main website - the MyBB website was designed first, and the wiki and forum designs were done afterwards to better match the MyBB site. I'm pretty sure we have no plans to release the changes made to the wiki or forums, because they're just some layout changes to make them mesh better with the main MyBB website.
Thanks for the replies.
