Hey Nowall,
I like things to be nice and consistant and just changed some of the images to suit my needs (orange and silver was no good for me) ... however i assume with the advent of these themes into cirrus we will still have the orange theme, green theme, and now silver theme.
I think its ok to have that as they can still be mixed and matched to suit everyones needs
Also, I agree that greyscaling images is not good enough and will make it bland, hence thats why i have not greyscaled any of the images i have done so far, they were duplicated, desaturated and overlayed onto the origonal with added noise and reduced contrast etc plus a few little extras in curves/dodge and burn etc... then sharpened a tad but i would not just grey scale them as i tried to keep these particular images different from the standard flags. I tried to get a stone effect for the imdb logo and went for something similar (old fashoned/stone) with the overlays too. I think it looks much much better.
Im sure we can add them as a silver option and as time goes on ill contine to add more silver images and within the themes we could add a silver 2.0 or something?
Im all for keeping everyone happy thats the one thing i love about this skin. It suits everyone needs
