Thank, I've found myself looking at UIs differently. The one thing that stands out to me, is the Control panel is jam packed, very efficient use of space, They've really crammed accessibility into it.

I don't know if it would help any but when using Duckbar I found over 400 exe file items that could be color changed - mostly text, lines, screen BGs, view headers and the like. I eventually broke them down by views and posted them on Panu's site. They've since been removed but could be made available as a reference/naming guide which might give you an idea what to look for. They are in xml format but can be read with note pad, spreadsheet or other word processor.... and of course, Duckbar.
 
I also have a few view "themes" and repaints of various graphics that could be made available. A specific place to upload them to would be great.

Q- How does TE handle TV Control Pane & CV strip backgrounds? Are they .png's or colors? All my edits were for X1-3 and may not jive with Splat the same way.

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




Thank you.

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.




If there was a Like button - I like this.

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.


Ampfixer, I made corrections to the gold theme so if you haven't downloaded it do so again. What do you want to do with the time display? I can mod it for you if you want.

You can't, I've put in feature request for it.
