[[file:BackgroundExample.jpg|center|675px|thumb|This tutorial shall use the following terms to describe the various areas of the page. The width of the dark grey bit is the '''"page width"'''. The area where you see the lower [[Robot Yeti|Yeti]]'s left hand is the '''"left gutter"'''. The area where you see the upper Yeti's right hand is the '''"right gutter"'''. The blue line between the dark and light grety areas is the '''"margin"''', further defined as "left margin" or "right margin", as appropriate. The dark blue stripe at the top with the wikia logo is the '''"wikia header"'''. The distance from the top of the wikia header to the bottom of the dark grey bit is the '''"background image height"'''. '''"Background image width"''' is the width of the graphic you're placing behind the page.]] | [[file:BackgroundExample.jpg|center|675px|thumb|This tutorial shall use the following terms to describe the various areas of the page.

The page width is 1000px in the Wikia (sometimes called Oasis) skin. Since we had no CSS formatting prior to the advent of the Wikia skin, our site is automatically optimised for that skin. We do not, on this wiki, even pretend to support monaco, monobook or anything that came before. If you want to use your own, personal CSS style sheet, feel free. But we support Wikia Central's use of the Wikia skin and will not be developing stylesheets for other skins, until and unless Wikia moves | The page width is 1000px in the Wikia (sometimes called Oasis) skin.

The background image is not just the two [[Robot Yeti|Yeti]]. It's actually the entire browser width. The reason you can't see any difference between the grey towards the bottom of the pae and the grey around the Yeti is because the image is 1500px wide, but on a transparent background. | The background image is not just the two [[Robot Yeti|Yeti]].
