Calling hubris after posting this seems a bit rich ampfixer.

I will in the morning but everything is turned off for the evening. But you did not answer the question...

I use Photoshop, RGB 16 million colors, Jpg file... It's truly a no brainer. What I see is what I get. 
I've been doing computer graphics for over 20 years so I could be wrong but I'm not!

Whoa - 
About dropped my coffee cup, LOL!
For some reason that last post (taken in context with the rest of this thread) reminded me of Nicolas Cage in that infamous movie "Fire Birds".
 
"I am the greatest, I am the greatest...".

The new UI is fantastic for me.  I really appreciate the darker colours and I definitely prefer it to the 'Mercury' design.  I liked the 'Mercury' design at first, but after so many years the change is great.  I'm definitely looking forward to the future tools to make our own colour sets - I'll be all over that!

My apologies, it was not my best day.

Here's a quick screen shot of from my play laptop that is just a screen capture without photoshop being involved.  
 
I have been a developer for over 20 years and most of that has been web and UI development so I have fair amount of experience as well.

I really like Tungsten, but what would be really cool would be Tungsten with the "robin-egg blue" buttons from Mercury (I'm not a big "orange-gold" person most of the year).

 
They can call it "Merc-sten".  ("Tung-cury"?) 
 
Or maybe an even deeper blue on the buttons?

 
Like: this color, both bright and deep. This would be hyper-cool for me.




Totally that robin egg blue was so good on Tools module, snap module etc etc. That would be the first thing I would like to change. Then the record buttons. They look kind of shabby. Also I liked those plugin boxes in mercury. They had some 3d touch (I guess) and not totally rectanguar like the tungsten ones.

Later update: Oops I posted this only as a reply looking at your post, without realising its this thread I am in. 


 
The Robin-Egg blue is definitely cool, but I'd probably settle for any blue at all instead of the orange (though I really like the blue I used above and while I don't "hate" orange-gold, blue is definitely cooler for me).  But really, I'm thankful for the changes in Tungsten; I had no problems with Mercury, but it's been there a while and I appreciate change generally. And I know that I'll be thankful for the ability to do my own theme. I've got probably hundreds of tiny little bitmap icons for use with my synths in SPlat: everything from pictures of musicians like Hendrix, Brecker, and Jaco to pictures of instruments to comic book characters and designs.

once again, I'm not complaining... I'm just saying that... so far SPlat, it looks like crap! and what the Bakers have done to fix it has done nothing to fix it... and they would have not tried to fix it if they thought it was good in the first place...
 
As I said, they need an artist who can put out a theme a day and stop paying a programmer for a half a theme a season...




To say the designers of the new theme can't be visual artists just because you don't like it makes you either incredibly narrow-minded or a troll. Pick one.
 
I love the colors of Tunsten! (..if you hadn't figured that one out yet)..
It's also kind of cool that 'Tungsten' in Swedish means 'Heavy Stone'..

It looks just like mine but you don't have W on, you have all frequents turned on and you don't have the eq knobs showing. So then... ??? what where you saying? what did you mean? ok, whatever... lol
