Stylunk - Newer Colors...?

Is there a version of Stylunk out there that has imported the base colors for the most recently available Duckshirts colors?
(The version that I have doesn't have midnight blue or khaki, etc.)

If not, are there plans to update it?

Stylunk 2 is 'on the list'. I have plans, I have sketches, I have neat ideas, but I'm going to finish iClan 2 first.

Midnight blue, khaki, etc. aren't in there because they're not distinct base colors; they can be made out of one of the existing bases. Midnight blue is blue with a bramble dye, for instance. I think khaki is gray with a bramble bleach or dye. If I added all of the derivable carnival colors to the current Stylunk UI I'd end up with an absurdly long drop-down menu, so I've typically just added the unique ones. With my planned UI for Stylunk 2 this won't be an issue, and I'll probably do my best to include every clothing item ever.

Once iClan 2 is finished, I'll probably do a quick point release of Stylunk that just adds new clothes (bright sunrise, the huge pile of slightly-different colors that Grefo sells) before starting on the big revamp.

All plans subject to change. No promises on anything. My day job brings me food and iClan and Stylunk in aggregate bring me grief, so I hope everyone understands my priorities.

Ahhh...thanks fo the clarification. :)

If you want to avoid a huge dropdown menu for Stylunk2, maybe you could put the known color in the button that corresponds with it's creation. e.g., for the Blue base in the dropdown, maybe "Midnight" could display on the button for Bramble Dye, and then "Blue Black" after that.

Grefo…who is this person? This is the first that I've heard of him- He's not in Puddleopedia, and this post is the only one that returns when I search for his name.

I've probably got the name wrong then. I thought it was 'Grefo Topo', or something like that, who hung out in the orga outback selling shirts. Selling many shirts. Sometimes (allegedly) shirts with the same name and different colors, apparently just to screw with me. Grumble.

kicking coins to Skirwan via the paypal link on his site might give him impetus to finish these projects... just sayin'.

I only just found this thread... Will you be adding armour and coloured weapons and such?

Also, I'm assuming you're going to include the new Fen, Zo, and Thoom icons; will they go into the point release or wait until Stylunk 2?
