The current Dye Preview window restricts you to see the applied color to only one piece of the armor at a time.

This is an idea for testing the dyes on every piece of the armor, weapon and costume simultaneously in a single window.



Oct 30, 2010
Re-edited the window and replaced the Show check-boxes with a Toggle View button and added it in the weapon and off-hand too thanks to the recommendations of MithranArkanere and Xiaquin.
Also I changed the positions of the weapon, off-hand and costume headpiece and body to resemble like the inventory.

Added a show/hide box for the cape. (Thanks again MithranArkanere)

Tweak it a little so the Show [ ] checkboxes are inside the group boxes of their corresponding items and I may like it.

/signed becouse sometimes, I forgot how the previous dye looks like.

It's a bad situation, you think 'The other colour was red... but was more intense than actual red in this weapon? Or not?' or w/e...

A suggestion with merit? Haven't seen one of those in a long time!

Don't know if the []show check is necessary, but I have very little imagination.

Something like that would be awesome. Especially if you like armor combos because most pieces don't dye the same.

I'm not a dye freak so I don't particularly care if it gets implemented but it's a good idea nonetheless. /signed.

that is uber awesome and would make a ton of sense to preview all armor together although u would actually have to buy all the dye whether u use it or not, lol.

While it looks great and I agree that something like that would be nice, I don't see ANet actually having the resourses to make such a change to the game. It's just a matter of how important such a thing to the majority of the players.

Signed. I really like how well this is put together. I would also like an option to hide weapon/off-hand, as they can obscure the view of armor.

Much better! Now I really wish the UI guys had time for this!

The left side it's a little uneven...

Hm... why not a show/hide cape checkbox too?

I rarely see a well thought through (proper through?) and useful suggestion on here. This is an awesome idea, while I never thought about the nessesity now that I see it...I can't see how I can survive without it xD

This should be in the GW2 suggestions board instead, unless we already have it and I'm not aware of it.
