Now that the technology to have unique look for different infobox templates while maintaining shared styles is set up. It's a good time to discuss what should be defined globally and what should be defined for each infobox template.

Here's a rough idea. Feel free to ask if you feel like it's wrong:

global:

size of elements

everything text related except for background

per infobox:

title background color

header background color

selected image label background color

If a thing is defined globally, it doesn't mean that it's set in stone. It can still be overriden in each template but it means that it does not have to be defined for every template if it's exactly the same for most or all of them.

Another thing that I would like to talk about are the two non-standard infoboxes where the things can't be just copied over. More specificly the Video Game infobox and the Album infobox.

I think that these infoboxes should be moved over to the new system as well which means that there should be a defined style for them.

Please share your ideas on what solid colors should these two infoboxes use. I'm personally a fan of dark gray for the Video games and orange for the albums.

Of course this is a good excuse to change colors on other infoboxes as well so if you want to do that, plase share your ideas to be discussed.

I think that deciding and defining CSS styles for all infoboxes that are on the wiki is a good idea so that we can start moving them to the new system while deciding things that are specific to having multiple pictures of characters.

Of course "moving" means creating a new portable version of each infobox and replacing them manually because they might not be a drop-in replacement every time.
