Template talk:Logbook

:O!!!!!!!!! How long has THIS been here >:( I just wasted so much time. I wish I'd known about this earlier --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 22:46, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Images

I can't seem to be able to put in images as a whole. It just shows up as the text in the little square thingy. - _ZeldaMan ^{(PostboxStatus)} 03:41, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

{{Logbook|Name|Entry text|[[File:Thardus.jpg]]}} It should look like that, just change it with whatever image you want. Metroidking 04:02, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

For Image, put a logbook pic not any average pic though. Look at War Wasp's code and it might make more sense, that's one of the few pages with a complete logbook with a pic. --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 04:09, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Wow, I didn't even put on the brackets. I feel dumb now. - _ZeldaMan ^{(PostboxStatus)} 04:10, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Wow.

Um. This tang orange doesn't really go with the purple. At all. And on my resolution the bar (with the "hide" toggle) doesn't line up with the actual infobox (the infobox spills over to the right). So I'm pushing for some editing for this template. A less offensive color, at the very least. Embyr 75 16:20, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

In your opinion, what color do you think would work better? I'll talk it over with the other staff afterward and see what they think. Metroidking 18:19, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Um. Something not orange. lol... It was just too stressful on the eyes, given that the color scheme on Metroidwiki is very dark and subtle. Something that blends with the purples and greens. As boring/repetitious as it may seem, the color scheme on the navigation bar would be most appropriate in terms of continuity, but I don't have a solid opinion. I was just thinking that something more monotonous wouldn't be so shocking. Embyr 75 18:34, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

What do you think about the round edges on it? Metroidking 19:00, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

I don't see any round edges... I'm running IE7, which might have something to do with it. Embyr 75 01:17, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

I looked at it with IE8 and I see what you mean, I'll try to see if that can be fixed. Metroidking 01:26, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Roundness is still in very early stages, so im assuming it doesn't pop up in IE... That won't be complete for a while. When I have time. It will look similar, but not exactly like Bulbapedia's round templates. As for the colors, yeah they bothered me too, but I tried to get the most Metroid-like colors, and those would be Varia Suit red/orange/yellow. And if those bother you, you'll be furious when you see the rest of the templates lol. Everything around here is pretty much a work in progress, and the templates' style is pretty much my job. So complain on my user talk if you'd like to get a precise response. I really don't like the monotony of of colors though... I'll get some dimmer shades, maybe that'll make it easier on your eyes ;] --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 03:18, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Ah, I see. Varia suit, got it! Well if I might suggest using the dimmer colors of, say, the suit displayed in the header, as it blends in quite well. I know monotony can be boring, but page continuity (in coloration, as well as other ways) is a big deal when it comes to design. Helps hold the site together, you know? Think of it as making the page "flow." =P Ok I'll leave you alone now haha. ^_^ Embyr 75 01:53, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
