I've made some changes to LooxPosh Hybrid in order to make it "easier in the eyes...i've named it LooxPosh Large.

Changes:
-Rack Collapse and Expand buttons;
-Speaker Mute, Unmute and Solo icons;
-Rack slots (almost everything inside the full rack is bigger);
-Scroll and Zoom buttons;
-Transport Panel icons;
-Some little cosmetic changes.

Here's the screenshot:

This place is amazing.

Recently some of us were wondering whether there might, at some stage, be a skin with larger (easier to see) buttons.

And now - just 3 days later - it's here !

Thanks a lot for this, gemada.

Hi,I see the buttons on the rack alittlebigger but it's apromatively the same.
It's due to the limit of the skining engine?
the full rack is really more bigger than the hybrid skin? or just a little?

I run it on a full HD monitor so maybe that's why i don't see a big difference?

The skinning engine allows for much bigger racks and buttons if you want.

I also expected LooxPosh-Hybrid-Large to use larger racks, where the slots and buttons and all that are bigger in size.

In fact, but this is just my personal taste, i think LooxPosh-Hybrid is a very nice skin and it can stay as it is. I would suggest to simply make a version where the racks and its fields are larger. The used icons will automatically follow the size of the fields.

Yep LooxPosh-Hybrid is very nice and can stay like this but the topic is about the large version
I think you right but for the large version bigger rack wouldl be better.

Hi,

I would like to have a go at skinning Mutools, where do i begin?

Also take a look at the standard skin LooxPhat as it's a good reference.

And if you have any unanswered questions, post them here or via email.

Cheers!

Hi.
Thank you all for the feedback.
Just to clarify some things:
-LooxPosh Large uses the same rack size as all LooxPosh skins...what's bigger than the other skins is what is inside the racks (rack slots, pan, volume slider, speaker mute icon...)
-LooxPosh Large has "fatter" icons in transport, audio and sequence panels for a "easier on the eyes" approach.
-For the moment, i don't intend to make a skin with bigger racks because i consider the actual size ok.

If someone wants to "pimp" my skins it's ok with me as long as you refer to it in the credits file and in this forum...something like:
Based on "Loox...." original designed by Jass Carnival (and i'll also ask you to put a link to my website as it's written in my original credits)
And don't forget to ask for Jo's permission because these skins are distributed in Mutools website

Cheers
