BUG MIGRATED FROM SOURCEFORGE http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=959567&group_id=34373&atid=411192 Originally submitted by Nobody/Anonymous - nobody 2004-05-24 19:03 Standard Skin seems to be the only one compatible with Floating Quickbar. Using XP Pro, IE 6 SP1, Quickbar: Floating left, Skin: ALL (incl. MonoBook) EXCEPT Standard Submitted By Paedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Paedia) ------------------------- Additional comments ------------------------ Date: 2004-05-27 21:11 Sender: SF user gabrielwicke Works in CologneBlue now as well, but will be hard to do in MonoBook. A different skin based on the same xhtml as monobook, but without the extensive tab formatting can do this, in monobook it seems to be more or less impossible to do fixed without breaking the tabs (the tabs and personal tools are part of the quickbar in the source). ------------------------------------------------- Date: 2004-06-01 18:08 Sender: SF user zigger Another MonoBook issue will be the long list of interwiki links at the bottom of the QuickBar - may need scrolling. ------------------------------------------------- Date: 2004-08-03 05:29 Sender: SF user vibber Lowering priority; cosmetic style issue.

As noted on the Meta User Styles page (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help_talk:User_style#Floating_sidebar), I found a kludgy way to implement this. It needs work, but adding this code to your user.css will make it float: /* TRYING TO MAKE A FLOATING SIDEBAR */ #p-logo { position:fixed; } #p-personal { position:fixed; top:0em;} #p-nav { position:fixed; top:9em; } #p-search { position:fixed; top:19em; } #p-tb { position:fixed; top:24em; z-index:3; } #p-tbx { position:fixed; top:20em; z-index:3; } #p-lang { position:fixed; top:31em; z-index:3; } #footer { display:none; } Notice that I had to turn off the footer because I couldn't figure out how to get it back at the bottom. Someone who actually knows css and the monobook skin should be able to finish this in a jiffy.
oh. and i have my code modified from the standard, so that the toolbar is on the sidebar instead of the top. don't know if this messes things up for other people. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Omegatron/monobook.css

See http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:User_style/floating_quickbar For an implementation of this in javascript and CSS. Shouldn't be too hard to support this natively with some modifications.
I'm going to go ahead and close this as WONTFIX. Obviously there's not much desire for this or it would've been fixed sometime in the last 6 years. Users can do this with custom JS/CSS if they really want it, and that solution seems to work just fine for those who do want it.
