If I did the Geass logo, It would most definitely be in uv red. Either route I go, this logo will be on the backside of a "bronze" acryllic window. Bronze acryllic is similar to a smoke color, except it's much darker. I anticipate that because of this, either logo would only be visible with the computer on.

Once I have the acryllic, I will definitely test the logos on scrap pieces.

If you have the time and extra acryllic, definitely test out both logos. If you did the blue Black Knights logo, it'll match the front LED's blue theme. If you did the red Geass symbol though, the red might not complement the blue?

Well, the thing is, I plan on replacing the LEDs in the front piece with a pair of yellow and a pair of red ones (and a switch to set it to red, yellow or orange). So blue wouldn't be too much of a problem when on, but when off it would appear blue. When off, the side window in question would appear a dark translucent black, with probably a shadow of the logo showing.. So no color problems there.

The thing I do worry about though is what if the yellow LEDs just make the front piece look green? I suspect that with bright enough LEDs, that'll be the least of my worries, as the blue plastic is thinner than most translucents i've worked with, and the color is less intense as the others.

I do have 5000mcd reds, but if possible, I would really like to get brighter. We'll see how things go I guess.

theres something for mac that will let you run .NET apps (Wine iirc, or am I thinking linux?) anyway, if you find it then you can run wlc on your mac. either way, nice work

and you reminded me to release the new version (1.0.1.1) Ill do that now

timxirish · 05-18-09

Well, on Linux the non commercial product is Wine (mac is darwine, but I've heard it's a little sketchy?), but there's a commercial version for both platforms that's a little more automated called Crossover. I keep forgetting I have it, but I'll give it a shot and let you know how it goes in the WorklogCreator thread. (merely as information, not a plea to fix. lol)

Also, very cool-- I'll be sure to give the new version a shot for my next update. Thanks!

cheers mate
(sorry if I thread-jacked)

nategr8ns · 05-18-09

I use crossover on Mac. I'm not very happy with it.
It's worst with graphics based stuff, especially games. The GUI will be "shifted" so if you want to click on something, you have to position the mouse down and left, for example, of where you're clicking.
Quite annoying.
(Crossover Games isn't very good either

)
