Thanks for everybody's input!

The overall concensus (so far) seems to be that it looks drab, it needs a bit more contrast/colour.

A new GUI isn't quite "in the works" (as far as I can tell - Urs is still on holiday and mostly unavailable). One thing is sure: there are much more important things to do first. BTW updating the manual to a new GUI would be no problem at all.

Well, I like it as it is. Too much colour looks like a children's birthday party.

Children's Birthday Party version...

I like that the modules fit the entire lane space in your mockup, as opposed to the classic look of having a gap and a dropshadow.
I also prefer the general soft shadow/smoothness of this mockup, but would prefer the sleek silvery scheme with the unempty colored flat knobs (WITH the soft feel as shown in this mockup).

Please no birthdays!

Only joking... The Zebra/Ace morph looks good!

I like the colored one!

BTW Howard, what does the LED on the top right of the LFO indicate?

I'm usually a patient person but ... can we please have a link to download your beauty, even if this is not the final version?

actually I too like the birthday one even more, except now the center modules should change into a more interesting colour..
so Howard will you be releasing this even if it isn't the official GUI?

When I look at this I immediately have the trailer music of "The Simpsons" in my head.

These are just sketches made with a simple graphic program, they cannot be "released". OTOH, Urs already mentioned that there will (eventually) be a new GUI for Zebra2, and it might look quite like one of these - we'll see

BTW, Howard is referring to this post by Urs:

I just yesterday purchased Zebra, and I like it in it's current version for the "synthesis" portion.

I saw screenshots of older versions, and didn't like them. The current high contrast default in v2.5 is quite nice.

However, if that screenshot was available as a skin, that would be AWESOME!
