Обсуждение: Wiki page background suddenly grey

Hi,

wiki pages used to have a nice white background for good
black-on-white contrast, but now the background is grey and everything
looks dim.

It is perhaps not immediately visible, but the <pre> boxes on the Apt
page used to be really visible, now they are just some lightish grey
on some mediumish grey:

Please consider reverting to white.

Yeah, forward-porting the mediawiki skin changes was by far the
trickiest part of the mediawiki upgrade.

Hmm, where is that?

Hmm, I wonder if it would be better to change it in the skin files
instead -- see var/lib/mediawiki/skins/PostgreSQL in the
pginfra-wrap-mediawiki package.

I see that skins/PostgreSQL/resources/variables.less has this line
@content-background: #ffffff;
(this value is referenced elsewhere in the skin files) but apparently
it's being ignored or something ...

Oh, I see you had just modified it before I looked at it.  Nevermind ...
and thanks for taking care of it.

Thanks, looks good again!
