Would there be any interest in a true yellow or orange Tungsten theme?

Orange looks very interesting.  I'd try that.  Thanks for all the work you're doing on these themes.
 

Thanks again, Dan. You need not do a pink Theme 
I learn a lot from the Themes put up here (besides using them), and I am by no means a graphic guy
All the best.

I'd go for Tungsten made into a Pumpkin Orange theme with Alpha Blue meters and Mercury buttons. That's what I'm planning on doing when I actually get time to work with theme editor.

I like purple best, but I'm not sure that would make a useful Sonar theme.  Wine colors toward redish would be awesome.  I think.

 
I did that already, unless you're thinking of something else:

Pumpkin Orange is cool, but what are you calling "Alpha Blue"? Aren't the meters already this color?

I would like to see a Tiffany theme. Turn Orange Tungsten into Tiffany blue or a Aqua greenish blue.

Greenish-blue is doable, maybe (time permitting), though I was thinking more of a "Forest Green". "Tiffany Blue"? Is this a "thing"?
 
Okay, found it:
 

 
Right?

Tiffany Blue is a thing...and yep that is it.  (and is about what the infinity symbol at the top of the page looks like)

I just popped in Green.  It's great!!

[...intend to fulfill a request for a bright red theme (for HelRazor). 

Thanks so much, I think that will be cool and I'm looking forward to seeing it.

Now, why Cohen included pink, I have no idea; it's not its own color at all (that is, a primary, secondary, or even tertiary color), but is simply red mixed with white. Granted, we don't call pink "light red" the way we call blue mixed with white "light blue", but it simply doesn't stand on its own the same way the primary, secondary, or tertiary colors do, e.g., you won't find it on a color wheel (there are color wheels that extend to tertiary colors).

Could also be said that purple is not a colour either, being there is no wavelength for purple. It doesn't sit between red and blue as a wavelength, beyond blue it becomes ultra violet, below red, infra red, which we can't see. the colur wheel joins spectrum at it's visible lowest and highest wave lengths. to produce purple you need to produce two wavelengths, but to produce green or orange, you can send just one.
 
I've wondered about Purple as I think it will compliment mercury's blue

I think the most important thing for me is to make the ruler legible again... tungsten makes it nearly impossible to see.
 

You should be able to play around with the "color" settings (separate from Theme Editor) for this...

I just tried to see whether this was my oversight or an actual issue.  I did find a solution to changing the color of the font in the ruler so it wasn't black letters on dark grey....However, I think this should just be fundamental to a template... LEGIBILITY... Why should I need to change the color of the font so I can see it???  Seems an essential part of anyones template.
 
Seems to be baked into the template so the template needs to consider this.  Why should we have to go in and adjust an essential function... THE TIME LINE!!!
 
Mercury is fine... numbers on the time line are totally legible... This should be part of all templates... a LEGIBLE timeline.
 
I think.... maybe I'm missing something but...was just trying to do some edits and realized I can't see F in the timeline in any of the alternate templates.  Yes, after 15 minutes I figured out how to make the font yellow or white so it's legible....
 
But shouldn't the templates do this, as a matter of course?  Just sayin'....

Maybe a royal blue and dark gray theme.....

Like this?

We're talking two different approaches to color; your discussing the physics of it, while I'm talking mixing colors. On a color wheel to the tertiary level (like they use in Art classes), you won't find pink because it's simply derivative of red. You will, however, find Purple.
 
You are correct, of course, coming from your perspective.
 
I'm working on Purple tonight over Tungsten. Then, I'll do HelRazor's Bright Red.

I can do 3-D buttons. I'd use Mercsten as a base and color those (I already did the work of transporting the buttons from Mercury there). Dark? How dark?

I mean dark grey like Tungsten buttons. The mercsten I've got has lighter grey buttons - like mercury buttons with a tungsten background.

This is all personal taste of course - but I love mercstun with the darker buttons ;-)

I may have spoken too soon (regarding the 3D buttons). I just tried changing the robin's egg blue to orange. I got absolutely nothing that anyone would ever want to look at. In Tungsten, there's no problem at all as amber is so closely related to orange, but as blue is a complement on the color wheel to orange.....

 
                                                                          
 
I'll keep trying out the 3D buttons (and darkening them). Maybe I'll get it without making the colorizing a week long project, but it's not looking really direct right now.
