- Vector 2022
The 2022 version tends to change with mediawiki updates. For example, the page header moves with the page, the table of contents moves in the sidebar, and the sidebar can be hidden.

Minerva[edit]
A light theme designed for mobile users. This is the default for mobile devices, but is also optionally available for desktop users too. It is intended for use on portrait aspect ratio devices, hence some of the pages can look a bit odd on landscape devices.

Notes[edit]
- Although vector has been tweaked to be a dark theme on this wiki, there are other options for a dark mode if a user does not wish to use vector. These options include: (1) Using a user CSS sheet (refer to external reference guide mw:Manual:Interface/Stylesheets), or (2) Using a browser theme.
- As a generalisation, the wiki header colour and a few other things are modified with each major GW2 content release (e.g. Heart of Thorns had a green theme)
Trivia[edit]
- Vector dark theme has been available on this wiki since 2021.
