Here's my quick attempt on creating image box design. I'm not good at drawing anything, including icons, so I just took Angela's magnifier, which seemed to fit my idea well enough.

div.thumbnail-none {
	border:		1px solid #C0C0C0;
	margin:		0.3em 0.8em 0.5em;
}
img.thumbnail {
	margin:		10px;
}
div.thumbnail-title {
	background:	#EEEEEE;
	border-top:	1px solid #C0C0C0;
	padding:	5px 11px;
	font-size:	90%;
	text-align:	left;
}
img.magnifier {
	float:		right;
	position:	relative;
	top:		-11px;
	margin:		0px 3px -11px 8px;
}

<div class="thumbnail-none" style="width: <<< thumbnail_width + 20>>>px;">
 <a href="<<< image_url>>>" class="internal" title="<<< title>>>">
 <img class="thumbnail" src="<<< thumbnail_url>>>"
 alt="<<< title>>>" width="<<< thumbnail_width>>>" border="0">
 </a>
 <div class="thumbnail-title">
 <a href="<<< image_url>>>" class="internal" title="Enlarge">
 <img class="magnifier" src="<<< magnifier_url>>>" alt="Enlarge" border="0">
 </a>
 <<< title>>>
 </div>
</div>

I'm not sure if the icon is placed correctly in all browsers (checked only in Mozilla and Konqueror—don't have any other). Should work in all CSS 2 compliant browsers. Note that the text will flow around the icon properly if it is long enough.

This section's code looks somewhat different from what can be seen above, because it's not possible to use non-inline CSS and not possible to attach `style' attribute to <img> tag.

I have Mozilla Firefox and the magnifying glass seems to be in the wrong place. Perl 22:01, 17 Mar 2004 (UTC)

The correct place is on the line separating picture part from title part (see Talk:Thumbnailed images for screenshots). Is it not placed there in your Mozilla version? -- Paul Pogonyshev

It's placed there in my copy of Firefox. It's just a little un-orthodox place to put it, IMO D8uv 09:44, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Well, it's not common, but I think it's nice this way and it gives more diversity in proposed design variants. It's just "you like it—you vote for it, you don't like it—you don't vote". Paul Pogonyshev

I've based this suggestion on the results of the straw poll. There's a background colour and a border around the image and the image & caption, and I've used Sansculotte's zoom icon. The text size is "smaller", which allows for long image captions without taking up too much room on the page. I decided to use the colours in the TOC, since people seem to quite like them - a pale blue/gray background and a grey border. The third example shows how it looks when no caption is used.

Who likes this image? Perhaps it can be merged with one of the other ideas.

Noldoaran 07:02, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I don't. :-) I also don't like the current one. (can't figure out how to display it here. the light blue and blue one.) I do, however, like this one: . Otherwise I don't care what the thumbnail format is, so just count my votes for the magnifying glass. - Omegatron 21:54, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)

French users have been very surprised to discover thumbnailed images. They do not remember discussions about them. Will this vote also impact the way the thumbnailes images will look like in our wikipedia, or just on en ? Shall I call the voters ? :-) Anthere 21:04, 16 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Don't know really, as every version is autonomous of each other. Perhaps the French Wikipedia should hold a vote on their Wikipedia and the English Wikipedia hold the vote on their version? --Maio 21:12, 16 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Dunno if this may be autonomous or not ? Anthere 05:31, 17 Mar 2004 (UTC)

It may not.—Eloquence 19:13, 17 Mar 2004 (UTC)

It must be some time ago that the French were surprised about thumbnail images. They use some of the thumbnail features since at least March 1 on their main page. -- JeLuF 21:37, 17 Mar 2004 (UTC)

What I like least about the whole "thumbnail" concept is the fact that these images do not take any tags for the captions. It may be not possible to allow this. However I did like to see captions in italics ('' tags) and smaller (<small></small> tags) print. I'm especially concerned that italics may not be used for species names in captions (nor underlined text which would be the proper alternative). If there is a way to solve this problem, I could support the concept. I've voted for my "favorites", but given a choice, I'd scrap the whole idea (unless the caption problem can be solved). - Marshman 00:08, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)

It should be possible by changing the global stylesheet. Noldoaran 05:56, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Markup of the image caption (links, emphasis, etc) will be part of the next MediaWiki-release. -- JeLuF 22:53, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)

The talk about the style of the icon is not very important. The usefulness of this function is. The old way is to upload 2 pictures, a small and a big picture and to enter a direct link to the big picture in the article. This way the big picture is displayed good on the screen. But when you use the new system you go to the description-page. That is a page for the description of the picture but not for displaying. It does not look good that way because of all the menu's. Clicking on the icon must go to a special "view image" page whiteout any menu's or maybe only a "Back to article" button. Walter 10:50, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)
