I honestly like the original top one the best. The colors could be changed a little bit to be a combination of the colors of the very bottom one and the top one (keep the design of the top, but use with the bottom one's colors).

I appreciate all your work on creating templates, but I don't want you to go through spending lots of time on templates. I know sometimes things need to innovate in design, but at the point right now in the wiki we have most of the templates we need and they all work and convey their message properly. We have a lot of content development that needs to occur before we start getting sophisticated in our templates (and subsequently our Bible content as data).

It takes time for me to look at the templates (though now I don't spend much time and let you do it since you want too and allow my duties to focus elsewhere) and it takes you time to make them. At this point i'd like to ask you not to be redesigning anymore templates. I assure you that when there is a template we need you will be the go-to person in doing them.

To comment specifically on the design of these templates, it doesn't look very appealing for the dividing colors to be rounded rather than boxes. Make sure that in general with template design you don't go overboard on border rounding. Border-rounding is decorative and can be used once the rest of the design works great, but when it hinders with the praticality (or basic readbility and appeal of the template itself) that's when its a problem. Rounded borders work well with a very widget.tile design- something that this wiki doesn't neccessairly have. In order to accomodate all the rounded borders we have to change the design in a ton of areas.For wiki sake in general (and general web design, as it seems a career you'd be interested in) make sure the design of the template fits with the wiki not the other way around. This just not in colors, which it seems sometimes you put a little too much effort in, but the actual look of the template. For future reference, this wiki has (and i'd say probably always will have) a more box-styling rather than round styling.
