Well, there you have two skins at the moment. We posted at same time, so maybe you didn't saw them yet.
I really like the gray and orange one.
And yeah, be honest, always, i like honest people. But don't be cruel :hihi:
It's practically my third Gui. I made in about one hour.

You could make a poll about Gui colors.
And also, anyway, i could do more in time if people are interested in other colors.
These skins are not finished yet, maybe new knobs, and the name in the center when you finally decide it.

Have a good day, i need to take a rest :)
OK, so my initial impression about your designs is that, while not exactly bad, I'm not really too excited and clearly prefer mine:
* I do not like unnecessary pseudo-3D effects and prefer an overall flat, simplistic look
* introducing a new color besides the background makes the look unnecessarily more busy

I'm sorry to say that, apart from the background color, it will be very hard to convince me of a new design. I do not want to discourage you but you have to keep this in mind when spending your time on this.
Don't worry about it, and you don't need to say sorry. It's your creation, so you choose how it will be.
I didn't expend time in a 'waste' way, because i will use the orange-gray for myself, so again don't worry :)

But what about the new name? You didn't like the names i suggested neither? :hihi:

Keep the good work, don't put effects in that synth, there are bazillion external effects and the low CPU usage thingie would go to the trash in that case.
If you are going to put more things on it, please try to put only modulation, unison, more interesting filters maybe, and this kind of things to tweak/tune/change the main sound without effects. Something like Uhe Tyrell, but i prefer Charlatan because is lower in CPU.
The delay in LFO modulation is awesome.

I really would like to use this synth in a OSC. Hm, hm...

So you hacked the .dll ?

No, not yet, i made an screenshot and used photoshop to change colors at the moment, etc.
Anyway...

However, if you plan to give this to other people or publish it on the Internet, make sure you clearly indicate it's a modified/skinned version rather than the original and maybe additionally provide a URL link to this thread! Thanks!
I don't know to use Mgui anyway.
There is any other way?

Have a good day :)

That's all I did as well....used Paint Shop to change the color of a screenshot..........

Here's a few presets........yes I know the dev said don't spend too much time as they will likely not work in a future updated version but what the heck it was fun......love the Hard Sync sound Charlatan can do.....

Very nice, but now that I have decided to eventually have the color customizable, I don't want to hard-code the "red" into the name.

I got reports about Charlatan crashing on load in Orion 8. I could verify this with the Orion demo and did some initial investigation. Unfortunately, I was not yet able to identify the exact cause except that it seems to have to do with the GUI. Just wanted to let you know that I'm aware of this but fixing may take some time.

I admit that the true meaning is rather bad from a marketing point of view :) and I'm seriously considering a name change for the final 1.0 release. I'm open to suggestions, but please keep the name short, simple and memorizable!
Charlie !

:D

Ay caramba !

4 a name-
'Polymer'
coz it's a polyphonic element
although perhaps u don't want it to sound plastic!hehe
I like it coz it sounds techy
I can demo in Orion when u maybe find a fix.
I am fine w/- GUI(once colour change is implemented), except wish for more modern looking knobs.
Another name is-
'Substance',coz it's subtractive
If you don't want these names I do, and hencewith take dibs!
I wonder what I want in here

Is there a joke here that I'm missing? ;-)

Sorry, but that's not correct at all, at least not in spanish.
'Charlatan' is a spanish word which means 'very talkative'. A person who likes to talk so much.
;-) Sorry, but that IS 'correct at all' in English. And the English language is somhow a bit more universal than Spanish, don't you agree?

Hasta la vista, amigo!

/Joachim
If it were easy, anybody could do it!

OK,
I take Contraband Substance
or, 'class A substance'
