As you may or may not know, we are changing some basic things in the GW Skin; mainly: pips and colors. Now then, the discussion on colors is primarily going on in this topic so be sure to post your opinions. The new colors are closely tied to the pips that we have and we will obviously need new ones. So here is your chance: if you think you are a suave artist and can design something neat, the do so and we might use it!

Submission Guidelines
If you are making pips as they are currently, you will need to submit three pips that correspond to the current colors of the moderators group, the admins group, and the members group. They cannot be larger than 15 pixels by 15 pixels and cannot be smaller than 9 pixels by 9 pixels. They obviously cannot be nsfw, though I don't know how you could make a 15x15 image nsfw, but I am sure some of you could do it. You must also be willing to adjust your pips to all colors when we get ready to implement them. If you would like to take some creative liberty and do something new with the pip area, feel free to submit your idea as well as your art.

also if you have any creative ideas that are a bit more than a series of static images, still share because that stuff can be coded.

Like, eg., you want pips to form a penis, where one end is the balls and the other end is the head, and the length segments are the pips themselves.

Submissions will be open for a week, so they will close next Tuesday at which time we will do a poll of all the acceptable submissions and we will probably use the one that gets the most votes.

Make us something nice.

i know absolutely nothing about pixel art, but I AM GOING TO TRY THIS maybe

I think a good guideline would be to ensure that new pips can be created by adjusting a hue/saturation layer (like in photoshop), and to submit a PSD.

This would be helpful but I am not going to absolutely require it.

except admins would refuse due to NSFW bullcrap

while this is going on can't someone turn on the default pips.

i like like my 1rst, 2nd, 3rd and 4th pips.

Are we suppose to go by future colours or current ones? I did future colours.

Jesus Christ, pips and colors. Do whatever you want people. What's next? Font?

One would think it would be simple, but apparently this is a big issue here on GW.

Think you could provide us with the hex values for those to make things a bit easier?

This was bound to be a big deal.

I dunno, maybe I just lack foresight. I guess it is because to me, pips aren't very important. When I voted on GR's I voted yes because I liked them, but I wouldn't care the slightest bit if we kept using ASTERISKS. So yeah it is a big deal now and I am trying my best to make people happy, but personally I don't really give two shits about what our pips look like.

this actually looks pretty good without pips altogether!

you should remove post count while you're at it.

Also in my personal opinion this is the best idea.

hey you know

empty quote agree or would like to have implemented as a user cp choice.

I will add an option to the poll at the end of this for "No Pips"
