[edit] Notes

The color of the header is dependent on the

| Type          = 

field. The colors are independent of, though the same as, the colors at Template:Infobox Album. See Template:Infobox_Album/color for available arguments.

[edit] Layout

The current layout is a little unpleasant; the left side is a long list of items, but there's absolutely nothing in the right two-thirds of the box. Is it possible to move the album cover to the right of the actual text and make the cover 200x200px (twice its current dimensions)? ShadowHalo 14:50, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

How about this? I've used this style on the Social Distortion discography but without a template. Downstream 19:04, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Is it possible to swap the two columns and remove the grey line between the headers? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by ShadowHalo (talk • contribs) 19:42, 20 February 2007 (UTC).

How about this? The only problem is that I'm not that good with templates (first try) and I don't know how to get rid of the line breaks if no info is entered. Check out what I mean here: User:Downstream/Test_template Downstream 19:50, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Scratch that - I figured it out! There shouldn't be any empty line breaks in this version. Downstream 20:03, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Of course, when you put it into practice, it makes more sense to get rid of the border as you can see on this test page: User:Downstream/Test_multiple

I haven't heard anything back on this in quite a while - not sure if that means people don't care or they hate it. Here's a version I'm thinking of just throwing in there and seeing what shakes out. If people hate it or it doesn't work, its easy to roll back after all.

I really like that design. It's a lot better then the current one. - miketm - 15:03, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
