I'm into it! I prefer the purple-ish over red accents.
Now for some novelties :thinking:

I like the version with violet best so far.  Would it be possible to add a R3 PgUp and R4 PgDn for 65% users?  They're used in the default layout for Tada68, Saber68, and most of the White Fox layouts.

Actually i think to move the accent keys to its own kit. You know such accent kit has also room for other colored accent keys like burgundy/red color.

Probably look good with the purple one too :D. I only got purple this round since I assume the other colors will run again and they said they are doing 1-2 more drops this year.

I definitely prefer it with just cool (like color temp) colors. I wouldn't mind the pastel yellow on a light set, maybe GMK Godspeed (or brighter yellow and lighter grey like the Night Sky set that was being worked on), but this is so much better to my eyes.

For me though, the real question is when? My wallet needs a break from the abuse... and it doesn't look like that's gonna happen any time soon. The cool part is by the time I do stop spending, I'll likely have rolled over a year and start getting tons of deliveries from the previous year. I imagine getting packages non stop for a year without spending any more money will be quite a bit more fun than buying tons of things and not getting them forever :D


Also, have you tried pastel pink alpha mods? Pink moons are a thing too :D

Its not that i dont like windows key, its more that i have to keep it OS neutral. Though i can imagine making OS kit, which may offer Windows and MacOS keys. But it works only in large scale GB.

This is blue on black not purple on black - only thing that's purple here are the accent keys which are blue on purple.

How is that even remotely similar to Black Lotus?

Update
Accent kit
- Added arrows to each accent color
- Added third color


Does not belong into Update but i'd like to share with you some Novelties i am working on right now. You know Eclipse is pretty straight and mature design but as always i'd like to spice my sets with Novelties which make whole more playfull und funny for people who like more spicy keysets  :))

Keep in mind these are showcase sketches and not ready/finished kits.

I really like the way this set is shaping up. I'm always a fan of sets that use off-blue colors. Straight blue can be a little jarring but deep blue, navy blue and sky blue gives a set character.

Any estimate when this might be run? 3 months? 6 months?

Update

Symbol Color Adjustment.

- Changed the symbol color from vivid striking blue to pale blue which is used in Yuri. In my opinion its a good compromise between first (banana yellow) and second (light blue) version of symbol color. Also it makes the set a whole more calm and elegant. The symbols will appear more distinctive on the blue background of the modifiers.


For better show case on a scale. Yuri pale blue on background of blue modifiers color. (the picture shows also new version of eclipse novelty)


The color adjustment of accent kit will be done in the next update.

They are available for every GMK keyset ;) Additionally to these icon mods there are also other icon mods which cover up to 100% layout. Say page down/up  home/end etc.

Edit: made it more precise that the icon mods (which were introduced with Yuri) are available for every GMK keyset.

What are the chances of seeing a "Glorious Keys" set in this drop? I was going to join Yuri just for that set but didn't want to pay for shipping :\

Does that mean that they cannot be used just as GMK Icon sets? Do they should be integrated in full sets? Do you have any plans to offer Icon Sets in classic colors?

I don't think you need to worry about the legends looking white.  Tom said that the lighter blue would be the one found in GMK Yuri, and that is a nice light blue as seen in the samples pic he had posted:
