does anyone have different colored translucent buttons on their CP?

Rudi:

I'm planning my next project, a four player upright.  I REALLY like the Neon Mame, but don't want to create a knock-off.  I'm thinking of using different colored buttons for each player, but don't know if that would look too busy.  Has anyone done this yet?  I can't find an example of this under Examples.  Another option is use all red, or all green.  I can't decide.

If anyone has a CP with multi-colored translucent buttons on their CP, can you post or PM me with a photo?

Thanks,
-Rudi

It's my opinion that it looks classier to stay with one color in groups, i.e. all of player 1's buttons should be one color, all of player 2's buttons should be one color, etc. 

NEON MAME is a testament to the cleanest, nicest way to do it IMHO.

DaveMMR:
I agree with mark, all one color per player is the best way to go.  However, if you want to change colors on a whim, you can always look into the Electric Ice buttons at Groovygamegear with RGB LEDS.  Though, be forewarned, there's still work to be done on multi-unit functionality for the LED-Wiz device (unless you use Powermame). 

Rudi:

I agree that all of a players buttons should be one color:

Ex:
Player 1: Red
Player 2: Blue
Player 3: Green
Player 4: Orange

..or something like that.

But I was thinking even that may appear too busy.  In my opinion blue is the best color to use if you only want to use one color.  But, green or red might be nice.  Thats why I wanted to know if someone had done either of these designs already.

Another reason is that I got two cheap green plama disks, 6" wide, and was going to mount them on the sides of the cab.  Should I make all the buttons green too?  How good to green buttons look glowing?   Or maybe different color buttons, but with red neon glowing below the CP, and a blue marquee.

Decisions, decisions.... I've got a headache....
