2 suggestions.

A suggestion for a new emote for those with a cowboy hat.

And another suggestion for flamethrower weapons to have the option to change the color of the fire.

[Greycat]

And one to set your hat on fire. *nods*

isn't that just a salute?

There are quite a few powers that you cannot change the colors on. 

never gonna downvote more cosmetic options.

Unfortunately, there are just too many options for us to get a proper range of cowboy hats. First, you've got the brim style — flat, western, bull rider, Reiner low sides, Reiner high sides, quarter horse, rancher, tracker, and rolled, among others — then you have the crown shape — cattleman crease, brick crease, Dakota, pinch front, Gus, gambler, boss of the plains, Montana mix/Tom crease, and more — and then there are all the variations of the hat band. I'm sure people would scream about their favorite hat style getting short shrift in comparison if that amount of detail was put into one single hat type.

I don't think OP wants more cowboy hats (could be wrong)

I think he wants an emote and to recolor flamethrowers

that being said I had no idea there were that many types of cowboy hats tbh

but I get your point that's way too many cowboy hats lol

Would this emote only be available if you had a cowboy hat on? I don't know if that's possible.

yes it would also work with halos.

And it ends with a tooth sparkle 🙂

The biggest problem with the hat salute emote in the OP, is as @srmalloy pointed out and I just checked for the game itself, is just on the male model we have 21 (22 if you count cosmic corsair for any reason) different brims of hats the emote would have to work with. Each of which has a different elevation and width for the hand to work with. And that is before you get into other head options like halos. And then there is still the question of if the emote would work even if you don't have a hat or other usable item. Would the emote just work with brimmed hats, any suitable head option that can count as a brim, or just be the generic emote that anyone can use even if they lack a hat with all the clipping that would entail?

 

(And for anyone that wants to counter that it should work with just the cowboy hat in the game? My question then becomes which one from the game? And why not also, say, the steampunk ones since they also used that salute in movies and comics?)

 

(Edit: And for anyone wondering how I came up with 21/22 for the count, I treat all variations of a single hat type as being the same hat. Only if the hat's position on the character's head changes do I count a variation as separate. And no, I didn't count the reversed baseball hat at all since it lacks a forward brim.)

I use the "salute" emote for things like this and to represent my character raising or lowering a visor on their helmet.  In a broader sense, and given the more limited articulation of the character models' hands, I don't know if you could properly represent the pinching/grabbing aspect of a proper hat tip...

yup. In fact, I was talking about that gesture of holding the tip of the hat and shaking your head to greet. But I don't think I found the right gif.
