So, with version 707, I added several new skins that are now in the "Gauges" and "Borders" list in the "Skins" tab. I have seen some people with screenshots with the current version and haven't seen anyone using any of the new skins, so I'm wondering:
1) Does anyone even KNOW about them?
2) Should I have forced everyone to use the 3D looking border and color it white, as the default border skin in 707 (which can be changed) so people would have known that there was a new border or group of borders?
Here's an image of the designs. Remember: The DEFAULT border art is the solid color one (#1) and the DEFAULT border color is black, since that is how it has been for the past year, and I didn't want to freak people out with new stuff unless they wanted the change. However, since it is tinted BLACK, you need to adjust the border color to something lighter if you want to see any of the designs, since black will make EVERYTHING black.
I personally will never use the solid color one (#1), nor the two faded color ones (#2 and #4) for the border. I love #3 and will be using that one from now on. I have other border designs I want to add in the future, but I wanted to throw a couple out there so people can customize LS a little more. Sadly, all the border designs will stay in this format (circle, about the same thickness), but will have different gray variants to them. I do these borders in grayscale so that the tinting feature will work well. If I make a border blue and one tries to tint it from there, odd color results will happen and they probably won't look good
I will also have a few designs that are not grayscale which will be probably be just available to download from the LunarAddons site in the custom graphics area ... I don't intend to include EVERY piece of art I make for LS a built-in piece.
