I hope that one is in-the-box. That looks really nice, Andrew! Good job.



Yes that is one of the first themes we will be shipping. TBH I think this theme looks a lot nicer than any of the other screenshots posted in this thread. Some are old school hardware themes - which is OK, but most modern UI designs these days are getting away from hardware realism.

I just want to fess up that I didn't actually make the theme. Thanks goes to our PM team and their designer.

Yeah, that Reaper theme with the white console is aesthetically very nice, but I think it would annoy me to actually work on.

that looks amazing andrew-- i'll be using that one for certain!
 
i don't like the reaper one becos it has shadows which are just stupid on a gui

That UI does look nice - I can see using that version or something along those lines.
 
My track-naming conventions are a little more elaborate than Andrew's, though.

I presume we will still be able to edit colours within the themes the same way we can now? i.e. adjusting track name text etc...

I find "Track 1" is a must for all of my projects. I feel lost without it.

Very nice Andrew, I am a fan of dark. I know the trend these days is flat and non-photoreal, Apple influenced everyone when they started the flat look a while back. I didn't like the change, have you ever tried to drag the playhead on mp3 files on an iphone? The play head is a line about 2 pixels wide, BAD design choice IMHO. I still like photo-real, but I really like your dark theme. As this progresses it would be fun to have theme exchanges through the forum, I do graphic design myself and would love to play with the elements. Can't wait for the update. Any hints at when the theme thing is coming?

There are some technical details still to be worked out with theming but once thats done we should be good to go.
Probably a couple of releases away if I were to guess.
