I like the brown stone the most but sometimes I use the woodgrain. Both of these look natural and arn't too light or dark. Plus it's easy to read the text.

I liked icy blue, but I would make it darker and a little more blue.

I'm probably the only here who's going to say this but....

I like the 'crazy chocobo' one. I always thought that one looked more like a hen on a nest than a chocobo. I love it though.

I never really had a favorite...I'd just alternate between Dark Grey Metallic, Woodgrain, Brown Stone, Greenish Rock, and Bright Green Leaves. So I can't vote. tongue.gif

I always used either "dark, grey metallic" or "custom color" whenever I played.

Well, the default theme always screamed "FINAL FANTASY VI!" to me, so that's the one I always used.

I mostly play with custom colour. And then I choose my favourite colour in the world: DEEP PURPLE (some call it Violet)!

But I am a fan of the woodgrain and the greenish rock too. But I just don't use the alternative window styles (apart from customized).

Great minds think alike, Shirrow. I always use custom colours. It used to be silverblack, but now I've gone towards a purple mixed with a hint of blue, and the default yellow writing. happy.gif

As much as I love to customize, I always go with the default blue for FF6. I just like it the best.

i almost always go for the icy blue with a red font, but sometimes i take one of the palettes and change the colors around to a mix of reds and purples.

I tend to change my window color to match the environment. My favorite, however, might be the water or greenish stone. I don't use custom except to make an all black version of the default blue.

In each game, the default is usually what seems to go best with it. I like the blue for I-VII, but the blue doesn't go well with FFIX.

I tend not to worry about this stuff as long as I can easily see the text on it, so I left it at the default, which I voted for.

Just wanted to say a word about #8 Crazy Chocobos: Read Zeppelin's FFVI walkthrough at rpgclassics.com for an interesting comment on that.

I sometimes mess with it, but in general I stick with the original background. It's just what I'm used to.

I alway use a modified Icy Blue, I take off all the blue and green on all palettes save the 2nd last, which goes to full black.

the Blood-red veins look mighty awesome. I'll post a pic either in 1 hour, or 24, depending on my mood when I get home from work.

Default. The first 5 or 6 times I played through, I didn't even realize that you could change the menu color. By the time I found out, I was so used to default that it didn't seem right playing with anything else.

I usually choose the one you call "icy blue texture" but I change it so that it is deep red and black. So I call it "Lava field texture."

i wanted to vote for greenish stone, but i accidently clicked the grey mettalic, cause to me the greenish stone looks more grey to me. O well, the green/grayish stone is what i play with.
