As I pointed out some time ago the (http://imgur.com/usXoRd1) the Simpsons Theme is the one of my preference. Now that you mention it, I remember (original post). It's been a while indeed. Are you specifically looking for the colors in the screenshot or just for a yellow based theme in general?

Because images are scaled automatically there is no explicit way to specify the image size. I can however globally limit the maximum height an image can ever have. This should tackle the issue for pages like Eiffel Tower (250px width would just be disastrous there). I don't think it will be needed, but I could even add multiple different max-heights, and them one of them could be selected on a case by case basis.

You bring up some good points regarding what belongs into infoboxes and what does not. Even though it is not technically related to the new infoboxes per se, it's probably a good idea to define and document some standards along the way. Those might serve as a good starting point for some sort of "Manual of Style". FauxCerf has done some work in this area by providing "copy-paste models" in his user space.

Regarding the specific points mentioned my thoughts are as follow: If I remember correctly the Content Update field used to only contain the original update until someone just added a second update for some re-released items. And then it got adopted by other editors as well, which would indicate that other people liked it and that it's a good idea. However, personally I think we are duplicating a lot of information there. An infobox is supposed to summarize the most important infromation only. I see that it's important to showcase how much something costed. However it doesn't seem that vital so see all the updates an item has been released in, especially if there are a lot of them.

The information is still available through the introduction text of the page and also through the links in the Cost/Need to Collect and How to Unlock columns. That's also why I had removed the Release Date field from the infoboxes. I came up with that field in 2015/2016, but I don't think it is currently used, and it is also redundant with the introduction text. I guess one could argue, that to be consistent, the whole Content Update field should be removed as well.

The premium and limited time fields probably started to have multiple values similarly to the Release Date one. Personally I'm against it for two reasons: No matter when or how an item was obtained, the premium status will always be the same. Having multiple values might indicate "I got that decoration in 2015, so I don't get any bonus percentage. It's premium only for those who bought it in 2016." Additionally multiple rows look bad in the horizontal layout and there isn't really space for any explanation à la  (since Superheroes 2016) . Same goes for Limited Time even though that happens more rarely.

To summarize: Personally I would prefer to have history only on the Cost, Need to Collect and How to Unlock, to a) not overload the infoboxes with too many information, b) stay somewhat consistent with the amount of information we provide and c) not duplicate the information from the introduction text of the page. I might even go as far as saying we could remove Content Update entirely from the infoboxes.

Alternative opinions and the reasons for them are of course welcome :)
