# Postbox

This is a Friendica add-on that adds a stylesheet to the HEAD element to support showing Postbox styling.

It does not add any interface for creating Postboxes, but users can still create them with BBcode.

_**NOTE:** Support for Postbox is built into Bookface 1.6+. This adddon adds support to Friendica regardless of what theme/scheme is being used._

## Getting started

1. Place the "postbox" folder in your _friendica/addons_ subfolder.
2. Go to the Main _Menu > Admin > Addons_ and enable "Postbox"
3. Any posts using Postbox will now display the colorful backgrounds.

## Using Zen Postbox

1. Open the message Compose modal or Page
2. Type `[class=postbox-red]Wrapped text goes here[/class]` (substitute "-red" with any of the available styles)
3. Press the "Preview" tab to see what it will look like.
