Grabbed a couple of colors from the Studio One UI, the gray background from the trackview for the panel color, and the blue background from the icons as the text background.  Can't do anything with the LEDs or other elements in the Synth1 UI, but this gray is a bit lighter than the previous one.  The hex codes are 'Panel = #212325' and 'Text = #477A9D'

NICE!! and thanks to all contributing to this.  On the neutrinosky download page, you will want to download the .zip file.  I, too, just downloaded the .exe file, and that doesn't quite work, as I had never installed it before.  Then follow abacab's instructions as above.  You will also want to put the large 14000 + .zip libraries in the 'zipbank' folder that will be created when you install Synth1.

This one is inspired by the Ableton Live color scheme.  'panel = #555555; text = #B5B2B1'

Yes thanks to abacab once again.  Love the two extra GUI skins as well.  Excellent.  I am about to install the librarian on my second computer.  I have a 32 bit machine with the same full Synth 1 install on it so I can test out the librarian first.
 
There are two types of files that Synth 1 can read.  One is a zipped file and they tend to come under the External category when you select OPT. (0ver on the left hand pane)
 
The other type of file is just a normal folder with Synth 1 sounds inside.  There is a bit of a trick getting Synth 1 to see these properly and they fall under the Internal category when you press OPT.  If anyone his having issues getting Synth 1 to find those let me know and I can explain.
 
From what I can see though the librarian prefers the zipped files type.  Which is fine.  Normal folder with Synth 1 sounds can also be zipped up as well and put int he same folder as the 173 zipped files!
 
Love those sounds.  I have got right into this synth again thanks to abacab.  Thanks very much John.

The last version of Synth1 was released as 64-bit compatible, so no need to find a 32-bit host any more > https://www.kvraudio.com/product/synth1-by-ichiro-toda

As far as the zipped files are concerned, that is the dev's intent.  Here is a recent statement he made on his blog:
 
At this time, Synth1 Librarian only works against the zipbank folder, not the individual soundbank folders (personally, I’m too lazy to use the soundbank folders!)
You could manually create zip files from your individual soundbank folders, and drop the zip files into the zipbank folder. That would allow Synth1 Librarian to discover them

 
You are welcome Jeff, glad you are finding it useful.  I am constantly amazed at the sounds in this thing now that I can narrow my search a bit.  I am trying to learn two new DAWs, and this keeps wasting my time, LOL!!!
