== Override Wikipedia skin ==

Can I override the Monobook skin CSS somehow? I would like
to have a typeface with serifs.

:As a logged-in user, you can choose different skins under [[Special:Preferences]]; if you know css, you can even create your own stylesheet which will override specific pieces of Monobook.  (Note that creating an account actually provides you ''more'' privacy, as your IP address cannot be seen.)  See [[Wikipedia:Why create an account?]] for more details.

Ah, yes, I have an account, but accidently I was not logged when I 
wrote my question. I do know CSS, what I don't know is where to put my
own, overriding, CSS. [[User:Quite|Daniel]]

:You simply create a subpage of your User page (in your case, [[User:Quite/monobook.css]]); if your tweaks involve javascript, you can also create [[User:Quite/monobook.js]].  See [[Meta:User_styles|User styles (customizing your display with CSS)]] for details and some snippets people have already come up with -- please feel free to add your own once they've been tested!
