User blog:Astringent/Custom Themes on Arras.io- And why you should make one

I'm a pretty new player to Arras.io. Generally, I like maining really fast and speedy classes, particuarly the Booster. I literally run rings around people, and it's crazy fun to be in all kinds of gun-fights and right up in the action.

At first, I could pretty much do that with no problems. I'd just be cruisin' around, picking fights and zooming around like a maniac. But as I played, especcially in 4-Teams mode, I noticed that the different colored bullets of players would really start to blend and melt together after a while. And when I was battling alongside my comrades, it could get so bad I had a hard time dodging massive destroyer bullets, that on any other day, would have stuck out like a sore thumb. I didn't really care at first. But very quickly, it really started getting annoying when i'd die over and over again from otherwise easy targets.

One day, I decided to go change my keybinds, since I'd seen it in a tip and wanted to know if I could make battles easier. I saw the theme button, and just casually scrolled through it. I was kind of curious as to how a "dark mode" would look, and I turned it on and started playing. At first, I thought it was weird, since it was all "inverted", but I noticed that when I was in battles, it was a little easier to figure out which bullets were from which team. I began to wonder what the other themes looked like as well.

And that was when I saw the link at the very bottom of options- "Road's Theme Creator". This tool is basically a godsend. I could adjust the way I wanted the screen to look, and after that, it became so much easier to look at a massive flurry of multi-color bullets and zoom around them like before. I could once again haplessly race across the map, ramming into players and having fun again.

You might have had these problems too. And if you do, I really, really suggest you get a custom theme. Whether the colors are just too bright or you don't want your teacher to know you're playing a video game, this thing is for you. You can customize pretty much everything in the game, from the other team's colors all the way to your specific stat bars. Plus, the instructions are simple enough that anyone can do it- including you!

So start those engines, and prepare to see Arras.io in a whole new light!
