Color change?

UxieLover1994 Nya? — 14:34, 31 January 2012 (UTC) Yeah, the template's coming along. One idea we should add to it is that the box should be the color of the form it reprisents (eg: Valor - Red). I know a few guys that can help with the box color change.

Ok, but

Considering we got rid of our last form infobox, lets make sure this thing serves some kind of purpose before you go any further on it. --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 14:46, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Here's my view on an infobox for drive Forms. Basically, it doesn't seem like it would improve the presentation and legibility of the information."We're werewolves, not swearwolves." (KrytenKoro) 22:35, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

EVA Unit XIII - The beginning and the end share the same moment. TALK - I've been waiting for this moment... 18:29, 5 February 2012 (UTC) As Kryten said, an infobox for driveforms doesnt seem to be utterly neccesary, though it's not detrimental either. You should gather some more oppinions on the usefulness of this template, and work with it more so it can be further customized, like beign able to change the colors. As for the infobox itself: Obtained should be clear and concise, instead of "Along with Sora's new clothes at Mysterious Tower", just Mysterious Tower is enough. Form color should be the color of the infobox, not a cell by itself. Able to be customized according to the form. Im not even sure if Represents is really neccesary... the status screen description should deffinetely not be in the infobox. Otherwise, it doesnt look like if it could do harm.

KrytenKoro - "Give a man a fire and he's warm for the day. But set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life." TALK - I don't think there's really any point to having "obtained" if it's just the world, and if it's the full thing, it doesn't make sense to put it in an infobox. Form color isn't a canon quality, and shouldn't be listed as if it was. Status screen is unnecessary. "Represents" is probably going to be too wordy, and is in the lead for all of these anyway. I would reorganize Gauge Consumption and Support Characters into: "Consumes", like so:

'
""
Kana
Romaji		'
Growth Ability
Consumes	Drive
	Allies

with drive just being the number, rather than a full sentence. The background and text color can be handled with a switch template similar to Style.192.249.47.195 16:56, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

KrytenKoro - "An education was a bit like a communicable sexual disease. It made you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and then you had the urge to pass it on." TALK - The issue wasn't that I didn't understand, but that a Form doesn't actually boost those things. What it does is give you a new set of active and passive abilities which provide all the gameplay effects beyond the color change to Sora's clothes. Also, the width of the infobox needs to be standardized, there should probably be a "desc" underneath the image, and the image should have a white background isntead of whichever color the table has. and the orb thing you did below, which could be easily coded. Once those are done, I would put these up for consideration in the forums.
