DARK/TENKLESS

I've added the 2 Fn keys to the TENKLESS kits.

You are awesome. Thank you.

fossala · 29 Oct 2011, 20:36

I did get it right at last. Thanks 7bit.

To bad there is no poker kit, but i guess there is to little request for sth like this right?

I'm not sure about the space bar, but TKL or TENKLESS should work.

Does the "noir" style feature a matte finishing similar to cherry DS?

Round3, Retro, Noir and Dark are all from the DCS family:

Although this is kinda of pricey, I am thinking of joining in...

Just a question: I have a KBC-Poker: is it possible, to also get keycaps printed not only on the top, but also on the side which is facing the user (esentially the way it is done right now on the Poker)?

Also, is it theoretically possible to also get another character/logo on the Mod4-/Super-Keys (the one with Windows on it)? What about the FN-Keys?

There are no front-printings in this group buy.

There is a huge load of alternatives to Super:

Make the SVG and we will see ...

fossala · 30 Oct 2011, 19:50

Will do what dimensions does it need to be? And do you have a hex color code for the grey on dark?

The SVG is black on transparent. The black part will be the insert mold part (the legend).

For a 1 unit key, the dimesions are
width: 9.04mm
height: 10.84mm
Lines must be at least 0.25 mm, better a bit more.
Gaps between lines and islands must be at leeast0.5mm.

It would be even cooler with Puffy

fossala · 30 Oct 2011, 20:04

Yeah but that is going even more niche. I use OpenBSD for routers and mail, FreeBSD for data (because of ZFS)

Deskthority runs on FreeBSD.

fossala · 30 Oct 2011, 20:21

I tried to do it but I failed but my girlfriend who is better at gimp will do it tomorrow.
Would there be enough guys wanting a puffy one instead because I would prefer him than beastie.

Ummm... sorry!

No Puffy then.

fossala · 30 Oct 2011, 20:38

I will get a beastie one made for tomorrow then. At least then it is *BSD agnostic.

It needs to be an SVG graphic. I'm not sure if the latest GIMP can handle this, buy mine can't.

You need to make Puffy all black in front of a white or transparent background. Then let inkscape trace the graphic.

For sure you can manually enter texdraw code to trace the silhuette and fill it black.

For sure you can manually enter TeX-draw code to trace the silhouette and fill it black. It would be more UNIX like and could be done in a text-console.

But read the copyright carefully!

fossala · 30 Oct 2011, 20:45

I will have to ask Kirk McKusick, I will send him an email now. From what I have heard as long as you ask he is fine.

EDIT: Sent him an email saying what we want to use the image for and that we would no be able to fit the copyright notice on the keycap.

We could let them print it on the front.
