Title: My sexified Unicomp!
Post by: jkercado on Sat, 01 September 2012, 11:26:26

I ordered recently a blank black set of keys for my office Ultra Classic after a co-worker convinced me that it wouldn't be a pretentious thing at all. I also ordered a couple colored keys for certain Visual Studio operations (run/debug stuff). So without further ado, here is it!

I gotta say, I LOVE how it looks now! And the colored keys add a nice, subtle punch.  ;D

Looking great! Could do with a bit of blue to complete the spectrum though!

Thanks! Actually there's meaning to the colors...Plus, I didn't want it to look like barfing rainbows. :) Wanted to keep an understated, elegant look.

Yours looks very nice! I'm glad you like the look. It's all stealthy, but with it's true colours showing through at the top.

Duh! Why didn't I think of that? :D Now it makes sense, and I don't have to justify the red Esc to my OCD voice in my head. Here it is:
