Normally I find that there's still some flicker anyway, or that something's been missed maybe this is avoidable, which is good, but I still feel it's too clunky.

Again, I suppose I can't stop you, but personally I prefer this current one by far. The combination of a bluey-grey background and a sandy coloured foreground looks horrible to me. The cursor will still also change when flicking to something not on the wiki as well, as far as I know. I may be wrong, but yeah.

I also think you're going about this the wrong way. TES wiki is the biggest wikia - search wikia on google and it's the second one that comes up. But it doesn't have any fancy cursors, timered backgrounds, highlighting links, etc. The next wiki to come up is Pokemon, which I don't think has any of that stuff either - a quick glance tells me it doesn't have a cursor or highlighted links, at least. (after Pokemon I gave up, since on page 1 of google there were only 'official' wikias left and I didn't feel like I had to keep going) I really don't think that having a cursor or a different background will make the wiki any more popular, and that seems to be your aim. I might have imagined it, but I think I've heard more profesional as well. I don't see why that should be an aim for a place where people make up stories about some video games, but even if it is what we want, I don't see many profesional websites with their own cursors or time based backgrounds either.

Now I do seem to be the only person who is saying that they don't like it, so I suppose I don't stand for much. Are you sure no-one likes this current one? I thought I remembered people liking it a tonne back when it was first proposed.

Is there a way to see everything in some basic version? Like, just white background, black text, blue links sorta thing?
