Hello. I've recently been appointed an admin on an (internet) friend's new wiki where I've been trying to help out (as I'm the one with the most wiki experience - in fact, I'm the one who got her into the wiki community in the first place) and I have some editing questions. I've already asked about this on the forums, thought I had the answer, but now I'm not so sure.

What I want to do, is be able to edit this template, and any infobox in general, so that users can change the background and heading colors as they see fit, while leaving the format the same. Take a look at the infoboxes on these two pages, and you'll see what I mean. It's all the same template, FanCharBox, but you get to change the colors cause there's actual spaces labeled "Background", "FontColor", and "Border".

Unfortunately, I have absolutely no experience with Infobox Builder source (I assume it's CSS) editing, only the original source editing. I have literally tromped all over the community wiki help pages looking for an answer, and haven't found one. At least, a straight one. What I need a thorough explaination of this stuff, otherwise I'll get lost sooner or later and just be more confused than before, like I am now.

In other words, I either need a way to convert the CSS code to source code while keeping the same format, or I need the CSS code that would allow people to change the colors of the template. A thorough explantion on how to do enable this would be great, as well. Do we have to put it in here first? If so, how does it go in? Or do we just put the code in for each template we want this for?

And... *takes a deep breath* I think that's it. I may have more questions once you respond, though. And maybe I didn't need to put in so many details, but I did anyway. *gives a tired grin*
