If ISO did get bundled into numpad, would really appreciate the 3 keys needed to make it work with UK ISO. I'm sure all the other UK-based buyers would appreciate it too.

Agreed with this

Oh come on now!
I'm sorry some had problem with zFrontier, but free shipping is huge for this hobby, and zFrontier has good reputations among Asian buyers.
Let Daily Clack handle Australia if they want. Leave Asia to zFrontier.

Free shipping just means they jack up their prices to cover it. It was cheaper for me to order DSA Scientific from TheKeyCompany and pay shipping from the US to Australia, than order it from ZFrontier with its free shipping.

Do read my previous comment on the total price with shipping with ZF vs daily clack. Yes, they jack up prices but still ends up cheaper

Honestly, this. Quite frankly, zFrontier has to be one of the worst vendors in this entire hobby in terms of communication and timeliness but then again that's to the west. Maybe it's better for people in Asia.

Yes.
zFrontier has worked very well for Asian buyers. I'm sorry others had had problems with them. We didn't.
Which is why I said, let Daily Clack handle shipping for Australia.

You can say the same about Daily Clack: Better for Australians. Worse for everyone else in SEA.
For this case, just split the difference. Nobody want to turn this into an "Australia vs SEA" thing.

dantambok · « **Reply #263 on:** Tue, 04 June 2019, 04:24:28 »

Never had a problem with ZF so far, everything i ordered just arrives sooner or later. lol but yeah the lack of communication is meh.

Anyway, I talked to DailyClack and it seems the rates on the site will be reworked and he said there will be better shipping rates which is great.

I thought I had everything riced out to match Dracula

turns out I forgot the most important part.. Definitely in for base and error, maybe highlight.

EDIT: Just realized this had VIM keys in the error set.. I've been wanting a set with those for so long.

Poesjuh · « **Reply #265 on:** Tue, 04 June 2019, 17:07:05 »

Maybe asked already, not sure. But it's hard for me to see which kind of "glow" especially the alpha's will have. Is it a grey? Is it a grey with a purple tone to it? Or a blue tone? Or brown-ish? I find it very hard to decipher what kind of grey it is.

It's almost a blue grey if he's trying to match the IDE theme. https://draculatheme.com/sublime/ (or really any other applications previews) is gonna give a good idea on the colors I would think Pikku is going for here.

MrFurrior · « **Reply #269 on:** Wed, 05 June 2019, 13:35:32 »

I really like this set and I've been thinking of ways to make it better. I suggest removing ANSI support from the base set so I can save some $ for my ISO brethren

I mean, the only way to enter is a big enter amirite? Then if we can add in the special 123 UK characters that would be nice plz, I like my !"£ in the right places you see!

Do you happen to have any renders of the ERR module with the base kit? So far all of them have been with Nightmode, which is nice, but I'd like to see how well the red pairs with the colored mods.

I’ll have to say I legit passed this IC cause the colors really didn’t appeal to me but the ERR kit really spiked my interest once I actually read the entire post. It may grow on me who knows.

Yes, the base colors are very dark grayish blue, to be matched to the theme colors. There isn't supposed to be a purple tone to them (however, if the colors look better with just a tiny bit of purple with samples later on, then some creative freedom might be used). I've been working very hard on overhauling my entire render setup to produce more accurate colors. There won't be any drastic difference really, just an improvement.

Here's a color comparison with other popular/similar GMK sets:

▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ COLOR_COMPARISON.md ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ├── The colors are represented as accurately as possible using the correct color codes, using neutral lighting. └── The second version has a neutral background color instead of a stylized one for an even more accurate comparison, as perception of color is relative to the surroundings after all.

I can possibly do a render with said configuration at some point.

This is such a beautiful set, would love some ISO UK support though, either in the base kit, in a NorDeUK or bundled in with the numpad. I don't really mind what way you do it, just as long as I don't have to use the dreaded ANSI-ISO blend. But saying that, this set is so good looking that I'll get it anyway, regardless of ISO support (which is a big deal for me cause I never get a set if there is no ISO UK support, that's just how good looking this set is).
That ERR! module is so cool.
Long shot question, is there any chance you would be willing to add an "ERROR" ISO enter to the ERR! kit or even adding it to a NorDeUK kit if you go that route?

tex_live_utility · « **Reply #289 on:** Sat, 08 June 2019, 23:28:58 »

For anyone looking for some context for this colorway. Here's the website, Sublime Text, and Neovim-QT all side by side.

In the keyset, the light accent color is being used as the alpha base color, while the base background color is being used as the mod base color.

Chiming in to say I'm also in the market for UK caps for this, however it would make sense to bundle.

You sir, have convinced me. I will not be joining Oblivion V2 but will join Dracula. And tbh, most of that is due to something I already imagined, not a lot of difference between Modern Dolch and Oblivion besides the colored legends. Dracula offers colored legends but also actually different colors, I approve
