Since it seems like a few people are interested in the creation of translucent buttons, let's avoid duplicating work amongst ourselves by using the forum.

I've started a few threads over in Projects to avoid crowding this area. There's a thread for each step that we need to worry about so far, to avoid having an Uber thread that's a mess.

If you are interested in a set of translucent buttons, please post here. Let us know how many you want and which colors you'd be interested in. I'm not sure what price we'll decide on, but all that info will evolve in the Projects forum in the "Buttons" threads.

Check it out. If you have any information to share, that'd be a big help. Thanks for your interest!

I'd like a set. Not sure on what colour.

Id be interested in a set - Blue to match my screen.

I'd like a blue set as well.

Thanks for your effort. Wish you better luck than we had. If you want, we did develop some graphics to go on the buttons in what was to be a multicolored casting. Let me know if you think these might be useful.

Thanks for your efforts! I'd like a green set, if possible, please.

Depending on eventual price, I'd go for three sets - a standard blue, a purple, and maybe a set to match the smoke lens.

Id definately want a set in each color that was made

Count me in.

If possible, a clear set (no color added) and/or a blue set.

I would certainly like a set; possibly several.

I'd like a blue & a green!

Amber for me please.

Thanks all. My initial hope is to do five colors; smoke, red, blue, "yellow" (amber?), green. Other colors (like frog51's purple) may come out by accident, so keep your fingers crossed. But if you want other colors, let me know.

Also, if you can reference something that matches the color you want, please let me know. The biggest example for color matching is lenses. For example, I'll try to match green buttons to Filener's green lense. Blue and yellow might have to match Filener's raised translucent blue and rasied yellow.

So, the more specific you are with the color (and what lense you're matching to), the better we can find a happy medium. Thanks.

I'll take a green and smoked set, like the lenses from filener.

Stu, what happened to your effort? I have not been to the board in a while. Last i checked you were waiting for buttons to be created with just the right color. What happened to them?

I'm wanting 2 sets one red one blue.

Thanks
Rob

It's been so long I had to check my original post

I'd like 2 sets please. The more orange out of red or amber (I'm trying to match the needles on the dials of an Alfa Romeo Spider which are quite a bright orange) and smoke like Darkstorm's lens.

The caster turned out to be a crook. Sorry. We've lost at least $1000 on this, so that's why I'm stepping down on trying another caster.

Stu

I'd be interested in a blue set to match my screen too, ta.

Count me for one Amber and one Blue - Thx

Good point.

If anyone is keeping a tally of sets, I would like five (5) sets of each color available. At the moment, I suspect that would be red, amber, green, blue, smoke and maybe clear. Just in case anyone is keeping track. Thanks!

I'll be tallying these when we are ready to make the decision on colors. Also, yo help us forcast demand, we are using color requests from previous button runs and attempts, as well as the poll over in Projects.

Keep posting your requests here, and keep posting any ideas and information over in the Projects threads. Thanks!

In that case I will be wanting a set of red.

Hi, i want 2 sets of any existing color! Keep pushing it...
Clear ones would be cool for UV-LEDs, wouldn't they?

BTW, does smoke match the lens or the color of the VFD through the lens?

The goal is to have all the buttons match the color of the text on the VFD going THROUGH the lense. This doesn't really include (darkstorm) neon lenses or (Filener) 2piece lenses, who's primary "color" seems to be the lense itself, not the text.

I only have Darkstorm Smoke, so I might have to get a Filener smoke to do some color matching. It'll take some time to match the colors, but we hope they will be a happy medium; matching the lense color in the day but also looking like the VFD text through the lense at night.

I'll have a smoke set! Heck, I'll have any set that you can make - these seem to be the achilles heel of the empeg community!

I'm in for a set of smoke, blue and green.

I'll take any colors you can get!!

Uh. Can we keep all the "me too" posts in projects along with the poll? No point posting over here anymore as there are specific threads for buttons. Spreading out the posts will just make it more awkward to collate.

I agree. If you really need to know (and I hate to say this, but) start a new thread with a poll about button colors. The BBS software will allow people to choose multiple options. That way we can get less "me too" spam. K? Thx.
