It's contest time!

As many of you know, we have Bliss, our sampler with VST sampling in Beta. For the 1.0.0 release we will include several GUI themes as well. That's where you enter

We will be running a theme contest until October 31. The best two themes posted in this topic will win a Bliss NFR. Guidelines are very easy:

Download Bliss beta from our website http://www.discodsp.com/bliss
Check documentation (included with the installer or at http://www.discodsp.net/pdf/bliss.pdf pages 23-24) to learn how to modify GUI colours.
Do your master piece. One submission per KVR member only! Include your sample editor view too!
Post a screenshot here in this topic, using a image hosting like http://www.imgur.com

We will keep track of the topic and announce the two winners on November 1st. Good luck to all participants!

Looks sweet mate! I really dig the way you worked your 'off' / 'bypass' knobs!

Great entries. Hoping there are more soon!

Here is my entry: Signal

I have a suggestion for a small modification which will make mod and pitch wheels look more defined: a thin outline.

EDIT: added the sample edit view and made the skin a bit lighter.

So I am a sucker for White but for sure I am no designer

..still I hope Bliss will have some kind of White skin.

As you pointed out there was a white already so I removed the one I did and made a new one. Hope it is still within the rules

I must admit I never done XML code before and it was very fun. I hope you like the Bliss Blue

Bliss includes a white one called Light.

Yeah of course! Modify all you want until the deadline

I have to say I was expecting more. Is there some rule for all the skins to be so flat and dull? Can't we have something a little more "touchy"? For flat we already have the original. All the entries add nothing, IMO. This looks totally uninspiring to me.

Only the colours of various elements can be changed. Not the style of the elements.

Also, guys, please include pics of the Sample Editor too, as pekbro has done.

I see... I was expecting something that would make Bliss look better

As shallow as it may seem, I want a synth to not just sound good but also to look good.
