Yeah I love retomodern too. I'd love to see more color variations on it, paticulary minimalist one: a muted version with pallet of colors closer in hue to eachother.

pakana... that skin a beautiful! In it's current state, it's already my favorite... a very modern asthetic that really makes eXT look extremely unique. Reminds me of modern furniture for some reason.

Thanks for the feedback, guys.
I'm working on the improvements this week (I'm not too fond of the bitmap export/replace task involved), and there will be (at least for now) two color versions: one like the current but with more controlled hues, and then a subdued, blue/gray version. The blue version is going to be the next released.
If the background tile looks shit it's because your display is set to show only 16-bit colour, and by mistake I exported the current version mostly as 32-bit. I think that many prefer 16-bit colours on a DAW display to save some (neglible) resources, so I'll make it in fewer colours.
I fully understand BONES's comment, there are way too many colours for him.

Right... but it looks even worse @ 16-bit
I'll see if there's something I can do about it, but I kinda like it and like the shine on the icons, is sort of integral part of this skin.
The background is very easy to change by yourself, you can set it to plain color from the skin editor.

Not too shabby, pakana.
I still wish it could be possible to save different skins with different songs. I'd like different skins on different eXT instances in a project: dark and red ones on dark and red songs, light and fluffy ones on light and fluffy songs. Or light for instruments and dark for effects. Easily recognizable, at a glance. Up to you, as everything else in eXT.
I like your website too, pakana.

Ok, version 0.9.2 is up at Asseca's, but you can also grab it from my webspace.
As you can see, it's the original color scheme revisited, some GUI items added and some changed. The "mono" version might come later tonight, unless I get sidetracked. I'll also do an inverted, light version... some day
But meanwhile, I'd be glad to hear your comments on 0.9.2, to be fine-tuned for the final version. My own thoughts:
- optimized for high-contrast LCD screens, looks yellowish on my CRT, does this bother you? Neither of my screens is calibrated so there's a lot of guesswork with the colors.
- Grid could be better, but I hate the interaction vs confusion around these parts of eXT skin engine
- Window frame is not perfect, but I'd like to have 3 more pixel's width to work with.
- the blue buttons are maybe too bright.
