The Apllication template is applying a default size of 300 pixels to all images. I'm experimenting with changing it now. I'd suggest specifying icons at 2x default size otherwise they are a bit tiddly. See here for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Extended_image_syntax further details on image formatting]. CSS tweaks - don't know yet. |

How to use this template
This is a template for adding a quick application pages. To include this in a page, enter {{{Application|name=<appname>|image=<image address>|caption=<image caption>|... making sure you include all fields. If you want to include an empty field, use eg: os=| that is, no text between the = and the |
For an example of this template, see Confix or Grapevine
Notes
The whole thing is positionable with CSS. It expects to find a class: "infobox bordered", which the current stylesheet doesn't have, but I'm planning on bringing up stylesheets in a separate comment at some point.
Almost all software that is likely to appear on this wiki will be largely OS-neutral, so in that case you only need to enter anything on the OS line if it doesn't work with all the current OS versions
Also it's easy enough to have this with more information in the normal text after the template.
How do you get the images the right size. E.g. WinSnap, MultiError?
Also, has there been any progress on the CSS front? I think the template would benefit a lot from being a bit wider.
