    Experimenting with the light version of Black Aperture 2. I was going to initially just do the nav bars and headings in colour, but ended up shading the entire homepage. It looks pretty sharp, but it's going to be a lot of work to do full blown alternate colour schemes like this.

    Would love some feedback - especially from folks that have used my original Black Aperture theme.

    Looks pretty, but seems like a pretty niche color Matt. Do you think your xbox gamers would dig it? I don't know much about theme sales, but it seems like applying this effect might be a bit of work.

    At this point, I'm not really sure where I'm going with it. Yes, it will take quite a bit of work to churn out multiple colour schemes like this. But the added value (and in turn, higher price tag) would likely make it worthwhile.

    As for this specific colour scheme - shortly after posting this teaser, it dawned on me to go a little further and do proper, multi-colour schemes based on video game icons. There could be a green variant, which could be based on the greens in Master Chief's armor, with gold from his visor used for accent.

    Anyway, still toying with the idea. Feedback (via Twitter) has been almost entirely positive, so I'll likely follow through with this.
