[#46]

Greetings!

At the time of writing, Onyx has just gone up on Halopedia for the first time less than an hour ago! As stated in the main news post, Onyx is not fully completed, and should be considered to be in an early access state for now. Think of it as you would one of the Halo Insider flights of MCC.

There are still a few features planned for the skin that haven't made their way in yet, and some bugs are to be expected. Below, I have listed the features I've yet to implement and the bugs I'm aware of. If you have feature suggestions that aren't on this list, or you've encountered bugs that I'm not aware of, please do post a reply to let me know! For bug reports, make sure to include the page you were looking at and the browser and operating system you were using.

Planned features

Dropdown menus for navigation options (like Nimbus, the current main skin)
Optional icons for each of the navigation options (a controller for the game option, a book for the books and media one, etc)
Search button will have a proper icon instead of a "go" button
Day/night toggle (like Nimbus, the current skin)
Language links (for any other wikis that choose to use Onyx)

Known bugs

No bugs are known at this time. Please let me know if you discover any!

Items marked with a ~~strikethrough~~ are ones which have been patched in the latest version of Onyx, and will be fixed as soon as Halopedia itself updates.

A new Onyx update has been pushed to the wiki! This version brings with it a modification to the page contents sidebar module that highlights your current position in the article, new content button icons and behaviour (they won't always offer you the edit and talk links - on talk pages they will offer a back to page button, and on the edit page, they'll offer a cancel button), as well as a multitude of style tweaks, minor visual improvements and load time optimisations.

Please enjoy!

The following bugs are known to have been fixed:

Page contents sidebar module was too tall on some pages, couldn't be collapsed, and would overflow off the page.
The sidebar wasn't always correctly positioned to the far right of the page depending on the width of the article and the size of the screen
The recent changes sidebar module would not display correctly on MediaWiki version 1.34.0 or above (Thanks to Jack Phoenix for spotting and correcting that!)

Onyx is is a great background skin, but only problem is that when it's on, all the letter that I'm typing in this box right now are black against a dark gray type box. If the letters were colored white, just like they appear after I posted this, it would fix this issue.
