The New Hotness

  • Kenmore 158 UI: Pastel Buttons

    The user community asked for toned-down buttons, in place of my rather garish color scheme. A bit of twiddling with the Hue parameter produced these buttons:

    Kenmore 158 UI - Pastel Buttons
    Kenmore 158 UI – Pastel Buttons

    Which look pretty good in context:

    Kenmore 158 UI - Pastel buttons
    Kenmore 158 UI – Pastel buttons

    The Bash script, which includes Unicode characters that may confuse your browser:

    ND=50
    ./mkBFam.sh NdDn  $ND ⤓ 
    ./mkBFam.sh NdUp  $ND ⤒
    ./mkBFam.sh NdAny $ND ⛀ 80 80 40
    #./mkBFam.sh NdAny $ND  ⛂ 80 80 40
    #./mkBFam.sh NdAny $ND 🍥 80 80 40
    
    PD=14
    ./mkBFam.sh PdOne $PD One 120 80 
    ./mkBFam.sh PdFol $PD Follow 120 80 
    ./mkBFam.sh PdRun $PD Run 120 80
