Do you plan to improve floatbox aesthetically? I have some suggestions.
One of them is to get new pictures for close button. I am not saying that yours doesn't look good, I am just saying that it looks... pixelated (and pixelated isn't web2.0 ).
So I edited the css file and pointed the file to a png file (gif files can't give "smooth" results.)
So I created a png24 with black bg, so ie6 won't have any problems.
Then I noticed that the font that I picked for the png image did not match the default font of floatbox, so I edited the css file and changed #fbBox #fbCaption font-family to "Corbel, "Trebuchet MS", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif".
I used photoshop to create a sample close button. Get the png from here.
Original:
Version 1:
Version 2 (floatbox cuts off like 1 pixel off the right and bottom I think):
So try it out and tell me (follow directions to make it look good) what you think of it. Since you will have rounded corner and stuff like that, I think having a proper close button that is not square will look so much better. I think you should try to just use png24's instead of gifs - make them with different backgrounds. Overall, it will look much better.
If you want the psd file, just give me a shout.
