. I'm glad to hear there has been another update. Personally I like the current electric engine look but if you got something even more awesome in mind by all means go for it mate. Keep up the great work and the rest that help you also. Fantastic 16x texture pack.
Just a heads up, I'm currently working on finishing up RailCraft. Most machines and rails are done, just need to finish up the items and such and will release a big update today or tomorrow
WOOHOOO!!!!! Rock on mate. Can't wait for it,keep it coming.
Looks like we'll be getting Thermal Expansion stuff as well thanks to Gnomeo
So, the default TC3 shard colors & shapes bug me, so I messed around a bit with the texture. I figured since there was only one texture in the file the they all use the same one and just overlay a different color on top for each shard color. The different shades of grey in the texture file serve as highlights. That being the case, instead of changing the color itself, why not just add more grey to wash out the brightness? Here's the result:
Crystals/Shards
These were a little dark...
...so I fixed them a bit
Here's the non-zoom pic
And a comparison
It also works for Forestry's backpacks
Another comparison
Ah crystals, how I've missed you.
What do you guys think of the darker look?

If you wanna use them I'd be glad to zip them up -- I also added the Isabella inventory GUI to the Thaumcraft golems and altar/research table if you want those.
Yes pleaseAside from the paper edge, which is from bonemouse's book texture, yes it's all me. I initially only intended to do something simple to get rid of the terrible default GUI textures but it kinda snowballed
Also, the Thaumium ingot seems to be the darker one from the TC2 textures. I'd suggest using the lighter colored one not only because it's closer to "vanilla" Thaumcraft but also because it would make it easier to distinguish between Thaumium and Dark Iron ingots.
...and I hate the look of Silverwood and Greatwood trees...
. As far as leaves are concerned I far prefer the vanilla ones in terms of luminosity and hue. It's a mod I feel very protective of, I guess.
Zip ahoy!
As far as ingots, the brighter thaumium one is in the old TC2 items.png right next to enchanted fabric. I like it!
The trees... they look too plain, too dark. I like that the original logs have more of a glow to them than the rest of the trees, makes them seem ever so slightly more magical -- capable of bringing a touch of color to a bleak and desaturated world
Edit: I might mention that Thaumcraft is my favorite mod and unlike most it has a very strong and informed art style to it, which is probably why I kinda don't like too much meddling with it (blanket desaturate on ss_core... grrr)
