Glasses with dyeable lenses

So I see you've added two new pairs of spectacles to the game, the Oval and Shaded. The shaded ones need a material from the unhidden maps, making it difficult to get, but you can dye the lenses. The oval ones are easy to make but you can't dye the lenses.

Is there a reason the dev team is so against giving us dyeable lenses? It's plainly obvious now that the engine can handle translucent objects, so is there a good reason to keep the old glasses (mythril spectacles, silver spectacles, etc.) as lensless rims? Further, is there a reason that the new glasses, the oval ones, can only have the rims dyed?

Who decided that "looking cool" and "enjoying how your character looks" is an endgame thing? Further, who decided that "having less options" is a good idea? If I want to wear glasses with the lenses dyed, it's shaded specs or nothing. All I want are my old light blue-tinted mythril specs back. Why is that so hard.

RAAAAAAGE!!!!!

Spectacles are not shades; spectacles are used for reading/vision improvement purposes, and therefore would never be dyed. It makes perfect sense :)

Unless said spectacles are those of the sort that change depending on the amount of uv light. Or are tinted spectacles. OR happen to be a pair of sight prescription sunglasses ^-^

My problem with the Shaded Spectacles is that dying them dyes the whole thing a single color, lenses and rims. The default is silver rims with black lenses, and it looks nice. Dying them makes them look really stupid because there's no contrast between the lenses and rims. I wish only the lenses dyed, or that the rims dyed a complementary color and not the same color. Or, that the rims were significantly darker than the lenses, or something besides what it is.

Here's hoping for two-tone dying at some point...
