User:Tapir Terrific/Userboxes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I know a lot of Wikipedians really hate userboxes, but I kind of like them when they say something distinctive about the editor. I chucked together some userboxes for myself so that I could choose their appearance and language, and hopefully they give a snapshot view of who I am, what my interests are, and what my biases and focus may be.

If you've arrived at this page trying to design your own userbox, there is a good outline of the code here. You should also check out the list of users displaying original userboxes; in particular, Zerrakhi has a nice little gallery with lots of useful code.


Below is a gallery (based off Zerrakhi's design) of my userboxes and the code with which I made them.

There is also a great page on web colours that will help you choose colours for your boxes. Aww, what the heck: I'll just display the chart here, since I like it.
