New Design

I hope no one minds, but I completely redesigned this template to something entirely different. There were no significant pages linking here (save Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links/from templates, but I doubt that matters). I feel the template has much better potential like this. tiZom_(2¢) 03:50, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo,

May someone add interwiki lb [[lb:Schabloun:Colorbox]].

Thanks and best regards

Text Color

Why can't the text color be specified (as with the {{Color box}}) template? Also, it's a little confusing that the 4th parameter has a different meaning in two very similar templates. AlgaeGraphix (talk) 16:02, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please replace the newline after the TfM notice with a space. It's causing strange line breaks in a lot of places (see the infobox of California Institute of Technology. Jc86035 (talk • contribs) Use {{re|Jc86035}} to reply to me 13:46, 23 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone add <nowiki></nowiki> to the deletion template? I see someone requested it ^, but it is still breaking up. Thanks. Corky | Chat? 17:10, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please noinclude the TfM notice. There have already been several complaints on the TfM page, it is completely irrelevant to readers, and it has been stuck there for several days now (enough for anyone to notice). The only comments it is attracting to the TfD nomination are complaints calling for its removal. Jc86035 (talk • contribs) Use {{re|Jc86035}} to reply to me 11:38, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Alakzi: Please revert. If people who actually use the template are denied the opportunity to participate, the only people who discuss it will be one or two of the TfD regulars, and yet another TfD will be rubberstamped through on the nod. --Redrose64 (talk) 12:09, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Useddenim: Just the "template"-code or remove everything else, like documentation? Qed237 (talk) 21:24, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Qed237: Just the "template"-code for now, as I'm not sure how to globally replace the {{Colorbox}} template with a {{subst:. Useddenim (talk) 21:35, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
