Being completely honest I did play with Luminance for a while. In fact I have played with most the big name skins (I have over 100 skins) this was a major contributing factor for me wanting to make my own skin in the first place as none of the skins I tried worked great and had all the features I wanted. Luminance is a nicely designed skin, however even with fully dimmed background and everything set up properly I never felt it was easy to read. A little context of my playing is that I never play a map more than 3 times in a row including restarts before hitting random, so it is very important that I be able to read the map easily the first time. I do however have a lot of respect for Uruoki as they have put a lot of time and effort into improving Luminance. Also Uruoki gained a lot of respect in my eyes by openly in their thread allowing for use of their elements in other skins, something I feel I should make sure and state on all of mine as well. However none of the elements from my skin are even started from Luminance as a template as I used a different skin as my template for Gundam and have since used my own skins each time as a template. This is part of the reason why I have repeated elements from skin to skin. The only similarity to luminance in my opinion is that I do base the skin on scientific research. My skin differs in basically every other element though so a simple recolor of luminance while it may create similar performance results would not be the same aesthetically.- Gurc - wrote:
Well I like it, but isn't it a bit like Luminance skin and mostly average between Red and Purple instead of Red for long play sessions?
If it's inspired by it I like it very much but I feel like it could be done by just recoloring Luminance too.
(BTW default-1 to default-9 don't fit that much in the skin I think, maybe making them dimmer could be good.)
I did try and make the default numbers stick out maybe a bit too much. I will try and make an alternative version that I will put in the extras folder in the next few days.
Sorry for the wall of text just wanted to make sure I explained everything thoroughly.
Also thanks for the suggestion if you find anything else for me to fix let me know.
