Summary: Use different background colors to ease identifying the different FI-WARE wikis 
Severity: Enhancement
Workflow State: Under Execution


Initial Comment:
To make it simpler recognising at a glance the wiki we are currently navigating and/or editing, it would be helpful adopting a different (light) background colour for each (or for the most important) of them.

As an example:
-  the FI-WARE public wiki might remain blank,
- while the FI-WARE-Private could use light red as background,
-  the FI-WARE-PPP-Restricted light-blue etc.

It would be nice to be able to set the background colour of chapter-private wikis too (maybe under control of the chapter owners).

I've been googling a while and I'm afraid we do not have a clean way of doing what Pierangelo Garino suggests.

1. Our current platform shares database and CSS for all the wiki instances

2. Each Mediawiki instance has its own LocalSettins.php file, but it is not possible to set the background from that file

3. The only way to change the background is modifying the skin (CSS file).

My suggestion is to modify the logo. If a project owner send us the logo we can set it up. I suggest to require that the new logo contains the FIWARE logo on top.

My two cents.

Luis, can you please do a quick test on the support wiki? https://forge.fi-ware.eu/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/fforgesupport/index.php 

Once done (try light blue)I will show it to the submitter to see if this is ok. I will be on holidays for the rest of the week, I am in until today EOB (this ticket is not urgent, I am just making you aware of my availability).

since we run differents configurations per wiki we can set a different skin per wiki. To do this we would have to create differentes skins, one per color and choose from the each wiki configuration file the suitable skin. These skins will be visible alond the whole wiki, I mean... the whole FI-WARE-Private would use light red as background and so on. I don't think I find problems changeing the background color so I think it can be done easily.
