which mod style do you think looks better here?
« on: Sat, 19 January 2013, 18:54:00 »


the top I suppose is the RA2 style, while the bottom is the style used for CCnG,
which do you prefer?

or something entirely different?

I like the top one, I find the red up to the top row is more streamline. The matching \| cap and ~`

I like the top style better. I like how all the edges of the alphanumeric/modifier keys are the same color as opposed to the bottom picture.

Second one.  I tend to subscribe to the opinion that the `~ and \| keys produce visible characters on the screen and are not modifiers, so should not be coloured as modifiers.

It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I personally like the bottom(classic) style.

More contrast IMO

I don't understand why on 2tone 2/3 the function keys are the wrong colorway, as they are NOT character keys. That is what I want to know. So really it dosen't matter if the ~ and \ are 'wrong' as the function keys are too. Inconsistent!
Make it however you like it.

I suspect it's for a visual break, easing identification

I prefer the bottom from a printable characters all being the same color perspective.  Multiple colors on the function keys is kind of a necessary evil, IMO.
