Topic on Extension talk:InputBox

I'd like to propose two new functions to this extension. The first is a button color/class option. E.g. green button could be managed by "buttoncolor=green" or by 'buttonclass=mw-ui-progressive". The second is the level of the new section heading. E.g. 3rd heading could be managed by "headinglevel=3" What do you think? Could they be added?

@Dvorapa: Re: button colors - One goal of the ongoing design work, is to make a User Interface that is consistent, as in, once people are familiar with a button's action/outcome, they can expect consistent results. Hence, the button to submit a form (as in this extension, and others) should always be a single color (blue in our case). There's some related information at this (slightly outdated) page: Wikimedia Foundation Design/Color usage#Functional Colors.

Re: heading levels - I almost filed a feature-request for this in phabricator, but then I couldn't find any examples (I checked a few dozen pages linked from en:WP:Requests). Here's what I had drafted; please add your use-case, and any pre-existing examples you can find, and post it in phab.

Title: Allow inputbox to create an H3 heading

Description: Suggested feature: The addition of a new parameter, which would let an inputbox specify what Heading level to use, when creating the `section=new`. This would allow editors to use it more flexibly, on pages where the desired practice is to create feedback in a series of H3 sections. Example pages where this practice is wanted (or already done but manually) include ...

Note: I'm not sure if this is technically feasible though. The current system just hooks into the standard "New topic" tab on all talkpages. Adding new code to allow changing the H-level might be more complex than is desired.

This would be super helpful - it is difficult to design a page around the light grey color of the 'create' button.

@KHarold (WMF) I've commented at Phab:T88038 on the accessibility issues with the current light grey. See my answer to Dvorapa above, re: customizing colors. Hope that helps. :-)

I will second, or third, or whatever this request. I'd also like to be able to give the input field a class name, so that I can style an individual inputbox without having to make a rule that styles every one on the page.
