Template:Floating Message

Summary

This template creates a floating tab on the right side of the screen with a customized message. It is intended primarily for User and Talk pages.

Parameters

Floating Message

Parameter	Scope	Description
text	required	The text to display.
bgcolor	optional	The background color for the tab. (Defaults to Saddle Brown.)
border	optional	The inside border color for the tab. (Defaults to bgcolor.)
color	optional	The text color. Note that this can be overridden by any additional formatting contained in the text parameter. (Defaults to white.)
shadow	optional	The shadow color appearing outside the tab. Note that this is semi-transparent, so will appear as a blend of the shade specified and the background. (Defaults to bgcolor.)
top bottom left right	optional	The distance the edge of the tab should appear from the respective edges using standard CSS units like "auto" or "100px". (Right defaults to 0, others default to "auto".) Note: currently, the template is intended for right-aligned boxes; altering the left and right parameters may produce undesirable results.

Examples

(See tabs at right. Note that actual examples have their positions altered so they don't overlap.)
