I'm hoping so.
 
Also if anybody needs a reference for making custom knobs, buttons and backgrounds check out the bitmaps that get installed into 'Cakewalk Content/SONAR X1 Producer/FX Chain Graphics' for dimensions etc

I made a leopard print one with white font, Looks cool.

is it another "sorry your not in the US" type things again ?

Will I have to install X1 Expanded to make a FX chain skin?

I've had visions of leopard/zebras running through my head but I am not sure if I need (or want) to upgrade yet.

Mike you can use any PNG image as a skin.  But if you don't have Expanded how will you see the FX chain? 
And I am pretty sure you have to have it on your system to save said skin as a FX Chain.   There are a lot of options on what you can change about the face of the skins.  Make it look the way you want.

Nope this isn't a competition or contest of any kind think of it like a barter I need some visually interesting FX Chains and am willing to trade whatever swag I can find around the office

Ryan was kind enough to put together this Tech Tip for folks interested in learning more about custom UI's in FX Chains: http://www.cakewalk.com/Support/kb/reader.aspx/2007013267
