No opinion on the change request, but presumably if you want to change the bg color, then you'd want to change the comment to match? Mathglot (talk) 18:09, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That would probably be a good idea, although those comments are often inaccurate anyway, especially on Module:Message box/cmbox.css. Andumé (talk) 21:30, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't be inaccurate? The only one I can think of is the blue of one of the specific cmboxes. Izno Public (talk) 06:48, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Izno: The specific inaccuracy I was thinking of was the cmbox.css's night mode styles refer to #300 as "pink", although that is not the only one. Andumé (talk) 20:29, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And in fact cmbox makes no claim about similar hue/saturation that I can see?? Please ensure you're being factual. Izno Public (talk) 06:50, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The light colors are also not consistent IIRC? Which specific other dark box are you trying to make this consistent with and what is the light color for that box? Izno Public (talk) 06:48, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What I meant with "consistency" was that cmbox's night mode styles (cmbox being the only standard mbox to use colorful backgrounds afaik), for colored backgrounds, use the same background color as the light mode styles, except with a lightness of 10. Also, cmbox-delete and cmbox-speedy both have the same background in light mode as fmbox-warning, and they use #300 as background-color in night mode. I hope this makes sense.

Please don't reactivate the edit request while discussion is ongoing. I'll review this later. Izno (talk) 23:27, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done After looking at this and consistency among other templates, 300 is as fine as anything. Probably it would make sense to regularize the cmbox deletion colors and the fmbox warning color to match the deletion colors for all other templates in both light and dark mode, which is currently at fee7e6 for the speedy background and 310402 speedy dark background. And to reconsider that cmbox has colored backgrounds. Izno (talk) 21:58, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request 28 June 2024

This edit request to Module:Message box/fmbox.css has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Description of suggested change: I propose changing transparent to #FFFFFF (white) on Module:Message box/fmbox.css because some edit filters use white backgrounds for friendly or standard warning messages. If transparent was used here, then it would not appear white, rather light-red seeping thorough the warning message (this shows a warning box covering the edit filter warning or disallow message). The same also goes for disallow messages that use | friendly = yes.

Anybody can comment about the proposed change I suggested, thank you. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 19:10, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Two things: fmbox should not be embedded in other (fm)boxes, making this change unnecessary here, and any change along this dimension should be sensitive to dark mode, and that isn't. Izno Public (talk) 12:47, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
