Undecided - Need some help...

I'm working on a new skin, https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=13&SkinID=1154 but I'm not sure if I want to add custom color support to it. It was done with 2 very specific walls in mind and I'm not sure it would look well in a different color. Anybody feel like helping out?

TIA,
Merc

Very nice skin Mercury. Why not do it in the colors you want to have, but provice custom color anyway? I realize it's more work , but that way you get what you need and we can change it if we want. Looking forward to its release!

Merc,

Some skins scream for a custom color option, Copper Deck 2 comes to mind. Others have it and it really does not do justice to the skin or the work that went into it. Why it works so well for some skins and not others is hard to say, I guess it is all in how it was built. My suggestion would to be to build a custom version for yourself and try it out. If it works and you are happy with it, great, add it in as a subskin. If not put it up the way it is, because the screen shot looks incredible...

I was just thinking the skin might look good in blue... but that's like the only color I use... probably because that's the only color for that menu area on the left of the explorer window... ... but i agree with merc... do the custom color and see how it looks....

Mercury the text needs to be lightned up. Old eyes can't see the text. I know ppl can go to props. and lighten the text (sometimes).
However I usually only use WK2. Best all purpose work all day long skin devised by mice or men.

After several attempts and several different mask configurations, I've had to drop the idea of adding custom color support. The masks just flatten things out more than is acceptable to me and dramatically lowers the quality of the skin. If the demand is high enough I'll probably add some extra color choices.

Old Crab: I was debating with that also, thanks!
