I'm going to order some t-molding for a couple other games of mine, so I was thinking of getting a new color for my Willow. What color do you guys think would look best. I was thinking yellow or bright green. Any other suggestions? Leave it black? I wish I had photoshop so I could change the colors and compare, but I don't.

I made this quick mock-up in GIMP. It's essentially a free clone of Photoshop that is much easier to learn and use. It is perfect for stuff like this. Give it a shot!



Personally, I am partial to plain black t-molding in most cases. Other colors seem to distract from the cabinet by standing out too much. But from what I can tell here, the yellow actually looks pretty sweet! I would definitely consider going that route if I were you.

Dude you make it look easy! I cant seem to figure out how you change the color's so well. What tool do you use to do what your doing?

+1 For Green.

Use the free-select (lasso) tool and manually trace around the t-molding. Next, click the "Colors" button at the top and select "Brightness and Contrast." Bump up the brightness sufficiently so that the t-molding looks almost white. Then, click "Colors" again and select "Colorize." Move around the little slider to achieve the color you are looking for. Adjust the saturation and/or lightness as necessary.

That sounds a little more complicated than it actually is. Once you get the idea down, you'll be re-coloring t molding in 5 minutes.
 
i think the green is too similar to the cp (tree area). i would break it up, do some contrast...orange like the bezel or something that will contrast well.

Got it, thanks!
