*This field allows for full customization of the image space. The image and imagesize field will be redundant if this exists.

**It is advised this field is only used to reduce the size to less than 60px. Anything larger than 60px will infringe on the main portion of the template and is likely to make it look bad.

***This fields allows for more customization. It allows the user to control everything in the top part of the template. If this field is used, the nick, namecolor, namefonttype, textcolor, fonttype, sig, and time fields do not have to be used. However, in this field the user must include "{{{time}}}".

****This field changes the width of the line. Line field is "default" by default, which has a small margin either side. Typing "full" in this field will make the line go the full width of the talkbox. Typing "[value]%" in this field will make the line always span a percentage. Typing "[value]px" in this field will make the line always span a fixed pixel width.

*****Corners field applies to all, other fields only apply to its corresponding corner and override the Corners field. Corners field is "round" by default. Typing "square" in these fields makes the corners lead to a point, essentially making the main portion of the talkbox square. Typing "diagonal" in these field makes the corners cut-off, essentially making the main portion of the talkbox octagonal. Typing "round" in the speicific-corner fields makes them curved again if another style is used in the Corners field.

Classes

This template uses a number of CSS classes that can be changed in your personal CSS. The entire talkbox (including the image) uses the class "talk". The image uses the class "image". The entire box uses the class "box". The text that displays what the user says uses the class "text".

Every user who has a talkbox also has their own CSS class. The CSS class is "user-[Username]". If the username uses spaces, then underscores will be used in the CSS class instead.
