Hey! I’m working on a green skin right now, but it’s still a work in progress, and it won’t be similar to the vintage pink one—hope that’s okay!

I finally got around to organizing the code for this[ skin.]

If anyone is curious, the title of this skin comes from a classical Chinese poem:

折花逢驿使，寄与陇头人。

"I met a messenger while holding a flower, and asked him to deliver it to a friend far away."

江南无所有，聊赠一枝春。

"Jiangnan has nothing else to offer, so I send a branch of spring instead."

I've always loved the imagery of this poem. The "branch of spring" isn't meant literally—it's a way of sending spring itself to someone far away, along with your thoughts of them.

Since spring is the season when everything turns green again, "聊赠一抹绿" felt like the perfect title for this skin. 🌿
