Below are the proposed designs for {{tmbox}}. Don't get overwhelmed; they're actually just a bunch of different combinations of the same four design elements:
- Schmerker's {{cmbox}} colored backgrounds (vs. the old "coffee roll" color),
- AzaToth's bottom border,
- HereToHelp's left border,
- David G.'s full border, and
- An alternate, less colorful notice style on the less colorful styles. (Don't get too concerned about it yet.)
This is not a poll but rather an attempt to get a rough opinion and narrow the field. We have tried--and will continue to try--to present the options fairly and come to the best, community-supported decision.--HereToHelp (talk to me) and the rest of the tmbox team 14:03, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
Schmerker style with cmbox colors:
edit | type=speedy |
| type=delete |
 | type=content |
 | type=style |
 | type=notice |
 | type=move |
 | type=protection |
 | type=featured The side bar is from {{imbox}}. The background is actually the old "coffee roll" background; if someone wants to change it slightly, that's fine. |
 | type=good Both colors were derived from the GA icon. |
AzaToth's idea (with amended colors):

| type=notice |
| type=move |
| type=protection |
| type=featured |

HereToHelp's idea:

| type=featured |
| type=good |
 | type=notice (alternate) For those of you who dislike color. Note that the current tmbox uses #c0c090 borders while these use #999999. I have converted this one for uniformity, though we could also convert all of them back to #c0c090. Note that the lack of a sidebar messes up the column of icons. |
David G's version:

| type=notice (alternate) (David prefers the above version.) |
 | type=move |
