I think the colours are one of the best things ever and I'd do anything to have them as opposed to the basic black; so much that I'd be willing to pay real money for the options! It'd be awesome if we could buy each individual holiday colour, AND trance, from the CS for set prices to unlock permanently. These colours would not be able to be seen by everyone, just the purchaser. The only way it'd be seen by all is if staff turns it on.
It'd also be fun if we could even make our own colour combos up, giving us a choice of up to four or five different hexidecimal codes that we could make the SB customisable for ourselves! If we wanted to change the custom colours it'd be an additional fee. However, we could switch back and forth between custom and holiday unlimitedly.
I find the SB hard to read with it being all black and so if we were given the option to change the colours that everyone types for our own personal use, it'd be awesome.
Example:
If I was to choose Trance, let's say, anyone who posts anything in the SB I'd see it permanently as trance, just like if staff turned it on. However, not everyone else would see it that way. All they'd see is basic black as per usual. Same thing for any other holiday colour set or custom colour set...all colour choices would be overridden if staff decides to make everyone see a certain colour set and would revert back to what you had after they turn it off.
