          Ok guys, here are your choices. Which one of these do you like best and use the most? Also if you use custom colored text and/or windows, tell us what colors you use. 
        
      Choice 1: Default Blue Choice 2: Dark Gray Metallic Choice 3: Icy Blue Texture Choice 4: Woodgrain Choice 5: Brown Stone Choice 6: Greenish Rock Choice 7: Bright Green Leaves Choice 8: Crazy Chocobos Choice 9: Custom Color 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. -------------------- FFXI (Siren server) Tauu the Windurstian Tarutaru! White Mage & Paladin  |

          My favorite is also the brown stone.....although the patter seems more like clouds to me.

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

          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.

          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). -------------------- People say I'm a slow learner, but I type fast!  |

          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.

          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.
