:Ergh, my oversight. Should work fine now, once your cache decides it wants to be nice. You should upgrade your browser sometime soon, though... ^^ {{User:Soxra/Sig|t=}} 07:05, 2 February 2012 (UTC) | :Ergh, my oversight.

Really not liking the color. It's too red, and it doesn't match anything in the theme. I suggest [[:wikipedia:Red-violet#Jazzberry_jam|Jazzberry Jam]] (#A50B5E) or something similar. Does that work? --{{User:As if!/Autosig}} 21:27, 4 February 2012 (UTC) | |||
{{KrytenKoro|The color and text color need to be modified so that links are still visible. Blue on violet is difficult to see.}} | |||
{{LightRoxas|riku=I agree with Kryten, and I would like to suggest using straight up Red-Violet (#C71585) with links in Silver (#C0C0C0). That's just my personal taste, though, so I can set up a custom CSS if I get outvoted.}} | |||
{{Soxra|text=I've updated it, but I couldn't quickly find a page that has links in the thumbnails, so I wasn't able to see the result... should work, regardless, though.|time={{User:Soxra/Sig|t=}} 21:10, 8 February 2012 (UTC)}} | |||

I don't mind the huge quotation marks. {{User:Erry/Sig}} 15:30, 2 February 2012 (UTC) | I don't mind the huge quotation marks. {{User:Erry/Sig}} 15:30, 2 February 2012 (UTC) | ||
{{neumannz|time=06:11, 3 February 2012 (UTC)|text= Setting the quotes apart is great and all, but the insanely oversized quotation marks are not nice to look at. The Team Fortress Wiki's ones are a better size. If we can maybe have a slightly colored background, that'd be great, too.}} | |||
No, it looks horrible, no matter what the size is (it doesn't look good on the Team Fortress Wiki either). Quotes are just a minor part of an article, their not all that important. You shouldn't put this much focus on the quotes. Making the quotes this noticeable is just disturbing for people when they're reading through the articles. - [[User:JTD95|JTD95]] 21:54, 4 February 2012 (UTC) | |||
{{Maggosh|flint=Don't you dare talk smack about the TF Wiki.}} | |||
{{TNE|time=13:29, 9 February 2012 (UTC)|blahtext=I disapprove. The bigger quotation marks look awkward. Granted, the current quote template is pretty basic, and care can be taken to highlight the main quote, but something else can be done... say, changes in the text formatting. The quotation marks should be proportionate in size to the text.}} | |||

No, no, no... to the left-aligned part. What's the use of having the borders go all over the page if the text is going to be left-aligned? I like the idea, anyways, but the text should be centered, not left. {{User:Erry/Sig}} 15:30, 2 February 2012 (UTC) | No, no, no... to the left-aligned part.

==Additional update to thumbnail frames== | |||
{{TNE|time=13:20, 9 February 2012 (UTC)|text=I quite like DE's suggestion for thumbnail frames, and I've got a question: now that image thumbnails have been rectified, what about the gallery? | |||
Now I'll acknowledge that the purpose of the thumbnail frames was to highlight the subject, so I agree that they must be bold and eye-catching. But I find the gallery image borders a bit unsightly (the usual boxy grey borders!). Please, if anyone would like to add on to my idea, do edit this section. | |||
EDIT 13:23, 9 February 2012 (UTC) : I'll post an image suggestion and ask if this is possible. | |||
EDIT 20:23, 9 February 2012 (UTC) : I haven't an idea for the visuals yet, but I've got two suggestions, feel free to side with either one or come up with new ideas: | |||
*'''Idea 1:''' Better-looking borders rather than the boxy ones that we currently have, full stop. | |||
*'''Idea 2:''' Better-looking borders rather than the boxy ones that we currently have; we can scroll right and left (to the next and previous images like you see on Flash galleries). | |||
I'll be honest, I'm not sure if Idea 2 can be coded, but now we have HTML5. We can always hope that something actually materialises.}} | |||

{{Uxie|time=13:30, 9 February 2012 (UTC)|zoe=Like I said earlier: If Bulbapedia can change the colors for it's images and galleries, then so can many other non-Wikia wikis, including us.}} | |||
{{LightRoxas|lucky=Yeah, DE and Sox did such an awesome job on the thumbnails that now the galleries look even more bland just by comparison. So I'm all for some prettying up here, especially now that we have much more expansive gallery pages.}} | |||
{{Soxra|text=Idea 1 is fine, sprucing that up is no big deal. In terms of an actual full-out JS Slider (HTML5 is not an option without MediaWiki access; that would mean it would be entirely done by Porple, and I don't want to put this on him), it's an incredibly cumbersome code and too heavyweight for an encyclopedia. So I'd scrap idea 2, in all honesty.|time={{User:Soxra/Sig|t=}} 22:40, 9 February 2012 (UTC)}} | |||
{{TNE|time=23:07, 9 February 2012 (UTC)|text=Sounds fair. So we can definitely go with idea 1 — any ideas for what the gallery sections should look like?}} | |||
{{Asif|sho=Look at the thumbnails now. Imagine a box similar-looking to that in a light pink.. Add images in the box that grow in size when scrolled over. Now add a rounded caption box under each image in the purple of the thumbnails. That's what I think it should look like.}} | |||
{{Soxra|hood=I have to disagree on that one. I feel like that's just way too much, even in a light pink. It will detract from the photos. A grey-monochromatic background is going to be the best option (even if dark, though that probably wouldn't go well with the rest of the theme). I'd say we're best to leave the background color as it is, and stick to borders/shading.|time={{User:Soxra/Sig|t=}} 01:58, 10 February 2012 (UTC)}} | |||
