Message: <blockquote data-quote="kreynolds" data-source="post: 1040359" data-attributes="member: 2829">You mean red/green rust with blue gems (or yellow gems for DMG)? I think I could whip up something like that. I've been working on a leather texture lately (kinda like the blue leather on the cover of the 3.0 DMG), but I'm still tweaking it.Hmm. Considering that the three core books don't have a very organic appearance to them, IMO (aside from the covers), I don't think I'm straying that much from the norm. In fact, if you look real close, the borders in the core books are in fact "metal plates" with a texture (one I'm not too fond of) on them. There just aren't any hinges.Speaking of the hinges, the only reason I even have a spine of a sort is because of online viewing. I thought it might be a nice touch. However, if printed out and bound together, the majority of the spine will vanish anyway, so I might just strip it out alltogether. It would give me some more room to work with at least.Well, this is where our opinion's differ. I like detail (but not busy), and while I like the borders in the core books, they're not detailed enough for my tastes. While the single-sided border approach saves a lot of space, I can just do that for HTML (and that type of layout works great for the web), but I'm not going for HTML with this layout. I think a PDF can be a lot more than a distilled webpage, and I'm very certain that this is an attainable goal. It's just a matter of exploring my options and tweaking the layout a little.If anything, I'm going for dual-purpose...online viewing and a nice printout. That's my goal, anyway. I suppose I could make two different versions, and if I have time (which I doubt), I may do that, but I don't think it's necessary.I'm still tweaking the layout though, but mostly just colors at this point. I may look into narrowing up the outside edge to give me more space though. We'll see.Thanks for the input! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
