Okay... what's this one for? --M Sipher 18:50, 10 June 2009 (EDT)

It's the little doojobby next to your username on the personal toolbar in the upper right.--RosicrucianTalk 18:53, 10 June 2009 (EDT)
"Doojobby"? LOL. Never seen those two synonyms for faeces run together before. [The fact that it's virtually unidentifiable is one of the main reasons why I have a different icon there via my user CSS] - SanityOrMadness 19:10, 10 June 2009 (EDT)
It can be replaced. In fact, it was my last remaining placeholder image when developing the skin, which just ended up getting used when we made the switchover.--RosicrucianTalk 19:12, 10 June 2009 (EDT)
Perhaps tone down the shade of red used in Image:Allsparkstripred.gif too? The more recently-done strips on the main page are less garish. - SanityOrMadness 19:18, 10 June 2009 (EDT)
And made using a different method, as you can see by Image:Allsparkstrip transparent.png. I had considered toning it back, though. It looks fine for me on a CRT, but at work where I'm on an LCD I can definitely see what you mean.--RosicrucianTalk 19:21, 10 June 2009 (EDT)
Looking back to the discussions that begot this theme, I actually see that Derik picked up on the reds at the time (#Saturation) :).
[I still think that the dark blue/bright red/white combo is too harsh, TBH. My personal theme is more-or-less still the Animated-based one I showed there, with a light blue interceding between the darker blue/red and white.] - SanityOrMadness 19:44, 10 June 2009 (EDT)

Also I just spent the last half-hour investigating an air conditioning issue in our NOC, so my command of the English language is... evidently pretty hilarious right now.--RosicrucianTalk 19:16, 10 June 2009 (EDT)

What does it actually do? I can't click on it, so it seems like it's just there as a random piece of decoration. --abates 19:46, 10 June 2009 (EDT)

It's a stock element of Monobook in MediaWiki, and I was reskinning elements pretty much item for item.--RosicrucianTalk 19:49, 10 June 2009 (EDT)
