As you may have noticed, and after long wake, I have finally taken to giving the shabby Rich-Text/classic editor a major refurbishment!

So far, I've converted the right column that contains editor tools into a Geometry Dash-styled box that you would normally see in the right column outside the editor. I always found the old design dreadfully annoying having to open and close those collapsible bars which took up excessive space and ran the tools off the page. A relatively recent change Wikia implemented was changing the slim metallic preview button into two blocky buttons with huge icons, also consuming more space than necessary. All that has been done away, cutting down vertical space dramatically so you can almost (at least on my monitor) view all the tools without the need to scroll. The contrast is a lot better now so you should be able to view everything without an overburdening of white and grey (the love-child of the modern design world and blinded consumers (literally)... it's awful).

Other elements are in the process of being restyled across the page, including the header, the editor buttons at the crown, as well as the type section (particularly source mode). However, there is a lot to go. Many things will look a little skew and colours may not all match. My primary warning is when expanding the source mode editing to stretch the width of the page, where elements will just splay across the crown currently. I will be fixing this up, but it may be a while before then since I find myself busy more often than not these days. Please bear with me, and soon the editors will be looking as good as the rest of the wiki does!

Thanks for your patience.
