Template talk:QuestBox

Hey guys,

I was inspired by what I saw on the DA wiki where the quest and info boxes had a background texture for the header and so I thought about redoing the boxes for our Wiki in a similar fashion. I have the code in a test html document but this is what it looks like at the moment:

What do you think? :)

Hi,

It looks good. Re-doing the questboxes (and those for NPCs) has been on my to do list for a while. I've also designed one for skills pages but haven't used it yet (still a wip):

Template:Infobox_Skill

The red background looked a bit off with the skill icons so I wanted something different.

Back to the quest boxes though, although it looks good and they infoboxes need a makeover, I'm not sure about departing too much from the current palette; competing themes might not work aesthetically.

Another thing I thought of recently is that we will eventually have to show rewards for all 3 difficulties and the differing amounts for each - something to consider.

I suggest you go ahead and make some changes though, we can always tweak it a bit when we see how it looks on the page.

 * The only issues I have are: keeping the wiki to one color scheme (I don't mind changing the current one), and image size.

If the size is too small, it looks strange when you have to stretch it. If it's too large, then it wastes space. I really want to keep the wiki flow-able (so that things adjust size and position based on content and users window size). - Fearsyth (talk) 02:14, October 16, 2014 (UTC)   You actually raise a valid point about the varying difficulties. Perhaps the Rewards should be moved out of the infobox and into a 3 column table in the main body and only list the most basic and common items in the quest box.
