That's a less common use, and that would be called a bevel any place I know. In fact I've never heard or read that use of Bezel.
Object Bezel (jewellery), the rim which encompasses and fastens a jewel, watch crystal, lens or other object Bezel, the sloping facets of the crown of a cut gem after gem cutting Screen bezel, a space or frame around a display device, such as on a television or mobile device. Bezel, the removable plastic faceplate or front panel of a slot, such as on an optical disc drive Being historically a decorative border some say the word comes from Bezalel. That's seems weak to me. But I only heard or read "Bevel" for a tool and "Bezel" for a surround or border. Perhaps USA or somewhere is different. Quote:
A bezel can of course be bevelled. Last edited by Quoth; 10-28-2023 at 08:38 AM. |

I now realize I was thinking of balsa wood not bamboo when I asked that.

I want it to be as close to the screen colour as possible and use the bezels as margins. The one thing that Remarkable has really done right is the design. Well, except for the flashy silver part.
Failing that: anything not black. I'm sick and tired of all electronic devices going for the safe choice of black. I want some colour in my life. I'd love for the bezels to be light gray and the backside of the device to be in all kinds of crazy colour combinations. |

If you want more colour, you can always get a flashy case.

I prefer black for bezels but also like white and color options for those who care about that. Makes it more customizable and fun
