Admiral Quality Poly-ana offers custom skinning (and win a free license)!

UPDATE:
Just added slightly rounded edges (using the "Emboss" feature in Knobman) to the black knobs (big + small ones) at the grey skin posted above.

Even better.

Maybe make the LEDs light blue instead of yellow?

Looks pretty good.

With the use of the dropdown menu's there is some precious screen space to win if someone would like to make a new "all in one screen" layout

[Ingonator]

Strange, it is 1112 pixels wide, and since it is so huge I can't even measure the height as the keyboard is below my monitor, like the real one

Actually it is 884 pixels as just mentioned (with zoom at 100%). Maybe you have a scaling of 125% at your computer?

I got a Full HD screen with a width of 1920 pixels and actually i got a lot of space remaining left and right (more than just a bit).

Could be, I had to increase stuff and reduce the resolution because of the tiny M1 GUI

Nice and clean looking ... good stuff. Can I download it anywhere?

Thanks, I was going for functional, just a simple edit of the default. Here's a download link:

So many chickenheads....

Hey I tried making new ones in Knobmaker but couldn't get anything acceptable. Why don't you give it a try ? Or you could just keep complaining.......

HEY!!! I didn't say it was fugly....it was just the knobs...

I know, I'm just messing with you....I got frustrated because I could not find a knob that would fit Poly-Ana's style that didn't look like it fell off a Synth Edit project. I would prefer that PA retains it's classic homage to analog style.....it really shouldn't look "modern" in style in my opinion.

Anyway I believe there is one talented skinner who I had never heard of before yesterday that has taken an interest in doing a skin for Poly-Ana so I'm looking forward to seeing the results.

I agree that without those giant selector dials, the space seems to be used very unevenly, there are almost "holes" in it.
The whole GUI is almost rectangular, which is not so good.

In terms of functionality, is it possible to propagate osc, env or whatever settings to another osc, env or whatever respectively? Might come in handy at times...

I believe it should be possible to do just about anything with Poly-Ana's skin now by manipulating the HTML file and images. It's just a matter of how much work someone wants to put into the project and how much talent they have.

I wouldn't mind a much larger version along the lines of luSH101'S huge mode and of course there will need to be a version to fit laptops.

If enough talented people get involved there should eventually be a skin to fit almost everyone's taste although it will of course take time........

EDIT: Oooh I just remembered Jorgen of nBeat who did some awesome skins for RGC's Pentagon 1. His style would be perfect for Poly-Ana...........

And ENV1 has been doing some incredible work lately (the PG8X gui for example)......hopefully he'll get involved.

I hope the guy who made that Divalicious skin fir Diva makes a Poly-Ana skin. That would be great.

And here's some advice for any skin modifiers who are tweaking the background image. It would be good to move the labels that are at an angle, like the X and + of the mod switches, to each side, rather than top corners, since there's more room with the drop down boxes. Same for DEST MOD and WAVEFORM MOD, and PW MOD and PHASE MOD etc. If these were all straight to the left or right of the switch it would have more space and be less cramped.

Here's the Raw default background image:

I wondered why the Admiral would let anyone touch his baby.........now I know! After reviewing the submitted skins, none are an improvement over the default. Thus the dev has been vindicated.

Apologies if I've overlooked this in the thread... but... I was under the impression that Poly-Ana would be getting the ability for custom GUIs. Is this not the case ? Because all I'm seeing is, well, like the thread subject says - custom skins and colour schemes.

is this correct ?

Still a welcome improvement though... albeit a minor one.

Hi,

you could change the background, all knobs + swicthes and buttons, the load/save buttons and could also edit teh position of all controls. So basically you could fully edit this.

Well to the contributor's defense, they are still working within the limitations of the original skin. Spacing and placement are still just as relevant.
