Title: Opinion Needed!! LED Buttons and my Control Panel Art
Post by: Shieldwolf on August 07, 2008, 07:29:17 pm

 I would love to add some light up buttons to my cp but I'm hesitant.  The idea of the Electric Ice is awesome, but I have a feeling that that much white on my cp will look bad. Nova Gem seems to make more sense but again lots of colors would be awesome.  I could do a little combo of both which makes the most sense. My other hesitation is I don't want to detract from the art when the led's aren't on.  What do you guys think?

Hey there. Was it you that emailed me recently? Your CP looks very familiar thats all.

If you want to have lit buttons but still look similar to how it is at present you could use some translucent blue buttons like these and light them with LEDs:

You can get them from arcadeshop.de and other vendors. I believe divemaster127 carries them too.

It was me. That's the Nova Gem (Blue) buttons I was talking about unless those are darker when lit. Does anybody have both? A side by side comparison would be awesome.

I would like the translucent ones but that's just me.
