Design and graphics ideas
editA. In order to reduce the width of the infobox in practice, the type font may be reduced to 95% of the size of main body text. Height and weight will also be placed on separate lines to reduce the present width (the current no-wrap coding is one of the reasons for the current version being overly wide compared to most other infoboxes).
B. Consistent with A, the permissible display size of infobox photos will be capped at 240 or 250 pixels in order to maintain a smaller width for the revised infobox. Entering any photo size greater than the limit will simply default to the limit.
C. The revised graphics and text will employ four colors: primary color (darker team color); secondary team color (lighter or brighter team color); white (primary header graphics, section header text, interior white space); and black (text other than headers, exterior boundary tool line, and interior gridlines (if used).
D. The primary infobox header will be a "varsity stripe" or "college stripe," with the following pattern and suggested ratios:
- outside stripe, secondary team color: 3 points
- separation stripe, white: 2 points
- center stripe, primary team color: 12 points
- separation stripe, white: 2 points
- outside stripe, secondary team color: 3 points
E. The secondary section headers will follow the following pattern and ratios:
- outside stripe, secondary team color: 2 point
- center stripe, primary team color: 12 points
- outside stripe, secondary team color: 2 point
F. We may use interior gridlines, as presently employed for the infobox for Major League Baseball players; if so, they should be the thinnest available hairlines in order to give the infobox a refined look.
The color and graphics pattern of the secondary section headers is intended to follow the color pattern of the succession navboxes already in use for college football coaches, college football bowl games, college football teams, etc. (see, e.g., Template:Florida Gators football coach navbox). This will add an additional measure of consistency in colors and graphics to infobox and navboxes used for college football articles.
G. The text of the primary infobox header and secondary section headers will be white (for maximum contrast and legibility) reversed out of the center stripe of each header.
