I wanted to come up with something clear lighter, a bit more colorful and fun than the black band Control bar is. With my dads old 70's Sony HiFi Seperates in mind, I cam up with this. It's not as I originally envisions, but things I liked as I went along kind of shaped it's outcome. 
 
Not all the modules work in smaller sizes, visually. As the control bar has a curved look, when you go to smaller module sizes, some buttons move form the top to the bottom, and shading goes skewiff. It works though.

Clever and creative...whimsical, too 
 
However it really underscores how great it would be if the Theme Editor let you copy and paste entire folders, or at least ctrl+click on multiple elements, and copy them. That way there could be custom Control Bars, custom Step Sequencers, etc. so you could mix and match. Time for a feature request...unless there's some way to do this I haven't figured out yet.

I think it should be designed by groups. That way we can share elements and not just the whole theme.  Haven't had to play with it much, but downloaded several great themes!  Ya'll keep up the good work  LOL!  With all the tweakers we have here - can't wait to see what will be out there in a few months!!

I agree, especially with the control panel, as this feels like a separate unit to the rest of the UI. As we get more creative ideas we'd want to take difference elements and tweak them together. If on of Oulanders colur schemes suited my control bar, I'd like that in the body of the programme. My other atempt at an edit was all the borders of Track, console, inspector etc. While I wouldn't use that scheme with this one, it shows me what I'd need to edit to create something that integrated,

How do you means groups. Groups of people, or groups of elements?

Swap control bar with other themes.  Swap track view without the whole theme included.

If we could import and and export at folder level, then we'd be able to take anything from and elements of a section to the whole section (with all it's folders within)

I wish I could figure out how to do even simple stuff with the editor. I open up a theme and can't figure out where anything is or what things are called. I really want to do a bit of a mod on the Gold theme from Moslave. Just change the colour on the control bar time display. I can't even find it, so my hat is off to those of you that can actually accomplish something.

By going through a changing everything about a section, you kind of end up figuring everything. A few things though I couldn't see, so posted here. Such as the Tool bar HUD, forgetting it was a pop up tool bar.
 
Transport time display is:
Control Bar >Modules. Transport> Text

Nicely done - an excellent demonstration of what is possible!
