Also, I do work in VC++ Express also on my PC, and still trying to find a good IDE for Mac. Express is indeed a nice IDE, and it does work good with JUCE. I only know because it's the only IDE I could get JUCE to compile with! But that's not JUCE's fault, I'm just an idiot at this stuff.

that's neat. i've not looked at it yet of course, but it's neat 
i think it would be good to have a list of all the available properties, a kind of built in template editor...
in the 'template editor' you have a list of all the properties. each one can be assigned one of, say, 6 colours. or 3. or maybe even the capacity for up to 8 but you can probably get away with only using 2 or 3.
...
in addition to this, you can also set a 'tweak' for the colour; a 'brighter/darker' control and an alpha control. the first makes that property's interpretation of the chosen colour a little brighter or darker, and the second sets the property's alpha directly.
from this then, you go thru and make your template. have, say, the main background set to colour 1, then you can have the strip window background set to, for example, colour 1 but with a slight increase in brightness. then set the filter background colour to colour 1 with a further increase in brightness. the properties panel background could be colour 1 with a slight dark tweak. etc...
you save your template as a template preset. perhaps the preset also includes aliases for the colours (so when you use this preset, colour 1 is now referred to as 'main colour', colour 2 is referred to as 'buttons colour' etc..).
then in the main 'scheme generator', you load a template preset, and then you are presented with a set of (up to whatever maximum number) colour selectors. say, a group of 4 boxes, labelled as in the preset. any that are not used in the preset are labelled accordingly (or greyed out).
you set your colours, hit generate and bam!
how does that sound? then we could share template presets for it too, and be able to knock up alternate colour versions of the same general shading template easily.

Kick, punch, it's all in the mind.

I'm on my Mac now, so I can't use the .exe. So tomorrow after work I will try this. Thanks jtx for doing this! This is one thing I really love about this community. So many people willing to help out and program things for Tracktion. It makes it great, and it reminds me of a while back when there was no talk of T2.

Ah! I need templates. It's too late tonight to do it, but then again, what do you use for templates? Maybe I'm tired and missing something, but I'm assuming the reason it won't load my scheme is because there is no template, right?
