Use layout patterns

A layout pattern is the structure behind your colors. It helps the keyboard stay organized even when you change the palette.

  • - Rows: each row gets a color family.
  • - Corners: accent colors mark the edges.
  • - Center glow: brightest color goes near the middle.

Plan for expansion

Expansion can disrupt a tiny design. Choose patterns that can repeat naturally when new keys appear.

  • - Repeat row colors after every expansion.
  • - Keep borders simple so they can grow outward.
  • - Avoid designs that require exact key counts until verified.

Connect design to upgrades

Design and progression should support each other. If better paints unlock more theme options, it may be worth delaying a full redesign until after a key upgrade.

  • - Use temporary designs while farming cash.
  • - Upgrade paints for theme depth.
  • - Use roller upgrades when repainting large areas takes too long.
