    I know, I know, I should be doing something at least semi-useful with my time like making a Universally Extended Colemak layout.  :p  But I just couldn't help my flaky self and careened off on a wild tangent while thinking about that much discussed T-shirt idea project. So without further ado, here you go:

    Uhm, I really don't know what to say about that! Sorry.
    Ah, wait, perhaps you might want to spell Colemak properly? QWERTY is capitalised for obvious reasons; Colemak is only written with a capital letter at the beginning like any other proper noun, Mr. DREYMAR!~

    Ah, but then you do not know the Star Wars legacy well enough. In the opening crawl, special names are capitalized for emphasis. I think it's kinda cheesy too, but that's the way it is. Cfr the "DEATH INERTIA" ("DEATH STAR" in the original, of course). Didn't you see that one but only the COLEMAK?

    Any other comments?

    Sorry, I'm not a Star Wars geek, perhaps I should have shut up?! ;)

    And try telling your spell check that miScapitilisaTion doesn't count as spelling mistakes! *insider*

    I like it--it's very cheesy indeed but that's what makes it fun... if you don't take it too seriously! Good job DREYMAR.

    Thanks Endaka! It was fun to make. I was puzzled to find that so few graphics program have block adjustment for text though; I had to fiddle with copy-pasting of a screen capture from Word! (That's why the resolution gets so poor at the bottom of the crawl.) Learning by doing.

    Yay, an improved version is up! I got rid of the jagged edges and crappy stars. The new stars are from the LEGO Star Wars game, which I personally find amusing. The text is only very slightly modified, and I went with 'Episode IV' instead of III to avoid bedlam.

    I think it ought to work on a t-shirt, but if the resolution is too low and you want to go for it then contact me and I'll see if I can produce a more high-fidelity image.

    In blatant disregard of humility: Is this worthy of the 'contributions' forum now?
