[Samishlol]

[Hazza]

They do look ruby:

but rubys have a reflective quality which lightens them up, these stars are just a block of blood red.


why change them?

new ones stick out like a saw thumb and are offensive to the eyes.

Should have an option to hide them if they're staying.

[Hazza]

There was a vote.

where


longer

argh moan moan moan. moaned because they didn't like the colour, iconz asked for their opinion on what they wanted, re-made them and people still aren't happy =/ give the guy a break.

[TopManTim]

i don't think people moaded about the old ones....

[buttons]

yeh they did, hence the new ones

I used the best one by a poll vote and then sent to nvr,
These were then adapted and recoloured like 5 times until he and the other AGMS liked them.

Plus, How would you give a star it's "reflective" quality. That would end up resolving in a completely new star design.

Also, it's only a small pixel image under your name. Nothing to worry about :P

[TopManTim]

i've still not found this vote, looked through the announcements.

oh and this section of the forum is for feedback so don't have a go at me to give a guy a break when i've not even complained before.

This thread wasn't spose to be a complaint anyway, just wanted to know opinions and why they changed.


edit for iconz post: So these aren't the ones people voted for if you kept having to change them? I fail to see why you had a vote if you were just going to change them.

also it may only be stars but due to the colour when you read a thread your eytes just get drawn to them, well that's what's happening to me using non-habbo dark skin.

oh and about reflective quality I was just saying seen as someone showed the comparison.

Was open long enough to get the votes I was looking for :)
Might not of been a poll, but still had the same effect.

They were changed because people started complaining, apparently they were too dark. Nvr didn't like them either. Plus, they weren't actually a ruby colour before :P

EDIT: I use non-Habbo dark skin as well, They draw no more attention to themselves than any other star. I'd understand for the gold stars - they are quite bright.

[Wootzeh]

They're much better than the older ones.

[TopManTim]

The 'poll' was open for less than a day so you hardly let everyone have their say?

[The Professor]

I think you're in a minority Tim, they look good to me and by the looks of it a fair bit of the posters :)

[TopManTim]

Well this colour is super ugly so expect a hell of a lot of posts from me to pass these levels quick :8

[TopManTim]

wait i got an idea and i can't edit:

if you're saying people always complain then why not just have a feature to turn off the stars?

[kk.]

being able to turn of the stars would mean making a load more user groups afaik?

[nvrspk4]

Aye it would.

You seem to be in the major minority, as much as we take advice on board, we're probably not going to change things for just one user :P
