Can you improve on the look of this navbox somehow? There's a lot of empty space between the lines, and the word wrap makes it even worse. I changed the haunting peach color of the background. Is
Kotwica a national symbol of Poland, or am I missing something? --

I wanted to have the background color similar to the shade of red in the national colors, but perhaps your suggestion is better. I don't know if you can help the interlines as long as we use
Template:Navbox. I'm not particularly keen on keeping the Kotwica here, but it is included in
Category:National symbols of Poland. —

I suggest, if we were to use the white-red color combination as per
Piotrus we should take a second look at the shade of red first. The peach wasn't red enough for a flag, and the
hue didn't quite cut it for me. --

That's beacause the actual crimson red from our flag is too dark and the black and blue letters would be almoste invisible. —

I made a new suggestion directly on your navbox design. Please, take a look. Is that what you meant? --

I think it looks pretty good. —

Colors aside, I added some more links to the navbox. For now, they're all red links, but some analogical articles do exist in the Polish WP (
pl:Szachownica lotnicza,
pl:Miecze grunwaldzkie,
pl:Polskie pieśni hymniczne) and there's no reason not to create them here sooner or later. Red link in the navbox may actually encourage someone to start those articles (before I do that). —

Please take a look at the collection of templates at the bottom of the article on
Poland. I was kind of hoping that if this template is as wide as those other templates, it would look similar when collapsed, nicely aligned with everything else, however, this doesn't really matter that much to me. The choice is yours. --

I see your point, Poeticbent. I will make the choice while moving it to the Template namespace. Thanks for you imput. —
