Skins
A skin is the wiki’s reading style — the typography, spacing, and page frame articles are set in. Pick yours in the site settings; it applies instantly and is remembered per browser.
| Skin | In short |
|---|---|
| Modern Reading (default) | An open page tuned to modern reading practice |
| Wikiglide 2026 | The wiki’s classic frame: a bordered content card on a muted page |
Modern Reading
The default: a reading style built on what’s widely considered best practice for long-form reading on modern screens:
- An open page — no box around the text; the page itself is the reading surface, so nothing competes with the words.
- A comfortable measure — a 780px column keeps lines around 70 characters, short enough to track from one line to the next.
- 16px body text with 1.65 leading — the contemporary floor for long-form body copy, giving the paragraph block an even, relaxed color.
- A modular heading scale (title 36px, then 28 → 24 → 20 → 18 on a steady ratio) with space-above hierarchy: more room before a heading than after it, so sections group visually without ruled lines.
- No borders inside the article — hierarchy comes from size, weight, and space, not boxes and rules.
- Soft pill tabs that stay out of the text’s way.
Wikiglide 2026
The house style, carried over from the classic Wikiglide reader:
- Articles sit in a bordered content card on a quiet page background — the text has a visible frame.
- A 900px content column; body text at 16px with tall 1.75 line spacing (14px on phones).
- A compact heading ladder (24 → 12px) with underlines on the top two levels, and tight paragraph spacing — dense pages scan fast.
- Flat, underlined page tabs.
Skins change how articles are set, not what’s on them — Appearance (light/dark), the light palettes (White · Paper · Desert), wikilink color, and the Notes/References switches all work the same in either skin.
