There's an alternate and some older ones w/ a bit of purpleish in the ends that I took out for this one over at UC itself, so go there if you want to see 'em. Feels a little bright to me, but the last one looks terrible on lighter-colored sites, so this one should work better for that. It's also the same size as the AZF.7 userbar, so they'll line up right if you want to use both together.

Choices are things like "none, strong, sharp, crisp, etc". Sharp looked terrible, or maybe that is sharp, idk. Either way, I should probably go touch it up with the sharpening tool a bit.

I don't know, sharpening it might work better.
