Too grey/gray

Just stumbled on this new template. Is there any way it could be made a bit more colourful? The current version is kind of grey/grey. Perhaps put the title inside the box with a coloured bar just as many other boxes do (and the old one did)? Also at first on one page I did not understand that the first text line below the image was an image caption. There should perhaps be a thin horisontal line between the image caption and the rest of the text? Or at least make it so the image caption comes closer to the image than the text below it. Just some ideas. I don't know if these ideas will look good before I see them. :) --David Göthberg 11:50, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, all good ideas. I don't know about the sections part, though. In my opinion, the sections with four variables on the older infobox were too short to warrant a section - and they're likely to be even shorter with this one due to optional parameters. I would try them out, but I don't have time to play around right now. Of course you're welcome to give it a shot yourself. -- intgr 21:35, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I just meant one very thin line under the image caption or just moving the caption closer to the image. Anyway, I might take a stab at it perhaps after I am finished with some other stuff. --David Göthberg 23:17, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I have removed the space between the image and its caption, do you still think it needs a line? -- intgr 07:46, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Certification" field?

I've been thinking of adding a "certification" field to the infobox that would say e.g. which block ciphers managed to the AES final, and which have been approved by NESSIE/CRYPTREC. Does anyone have ideas? -- intgr 07:46, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
