Improved color palette!

As you may have noticed, skyHow has implemented the new color palette, based on Tailwind v4. It takes advantage of OKLCH colors, which covers the P3 color gamut for supported devices, for brighter, more vivid, and punchier colors. It degrades gracefully to HEX colors in older browsers.

skyHow has also implemented these variables in error, warning, success, info and neutral types.

You can use the variables to set colors for text, backgrounds and borders.

Lightness	Error	Warning	Success	Info	Neutral (New!)
Lightest	color-red-100	color-yellow-100	color-green-100	color-blue-100	color-gray-50

New layout

As you may have noticed, skyHow has gone a major layout change, implementing the power of CSS flexbox to add a sidebar to the right of the page, similar to wikiHow's layout. skyHow also increased the maximum width from 1050px to 1600px to fit more content, especially the new sidebar. Any thoughts? Xeverything11 (talk) 14:19, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

More accurate method of counting articles

skyHow claimed to have only three articles, when in really it has dozens of articles. So I changed one setting in ManageWiki and this increased the article count to 21, which is likely correct. Xeverything11 (talk) 05:45, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

Redesigned editing toolbox on mobile devices

Redesigned editing toolbox on skyHow, based on iOS 26's Liquid Glass redesign

skyHow has gone a major change to the editing toolbox on mobile devices. The new design, as you can see in the screenshot on the right, is based on the all-new Liquid Glass redesign from iOS 26, with blur effects (when supported in recent(ish) browsers). The toolbox has been placed at the bottom for easy one-hand access to the tools. Xeverything11 (talk) 20:05, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

@User:Agusbou2015 Any thoughts? Xeverything11 (talk) 20:05, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

Great! Agusbou2015 (talk) 21:03, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

Changes to Patrol widget

The Changes to Patrol widget, inspired from wikiHow

I have created the Changes to Partol widget, inspired from wikiHow. It's now available, even anonymously, allowing users and patrollers to track recent changes to pages - right from the sidebar on right of screen. @User:Agusbou2015, any thoughts? Xeverything11 (talk) 18:44, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

That's great! Agusbou2015 (talk) 20:12, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

Please add it also to Spanish skyHow! Agusbou2015 (talk) 20:13, 23 June 2025 (UTC)
