New Ableton Live 9.x Skin

Dropping by to share a Live 9 skin I've been working on for about a year on and off. Had a fair bit of attention via twitter screenshots, so here it is. Please keep in mind it's still a WIP although you can download now. Live has never been easily skinnable and most skins out there use an outdated app that isn't compatible with Live 9, so they can look pretty poor... For this, I used an incredibly tedious but great maxx device for modding the colors. More info on deviantArt.

Damn, actually looks pretty nice mate! The only dark live skin I've used thus far is the disco, and the grid is practically impossible to see when using the piano roll. This loops like a very promising compromise. How does it look at 200% Brightness?

Thanks for the kind words fellas.
@TheoM
You can of course use the brightness slider in preferences. It holds together pretty well. As for higher contrast, I might make some variations, though the point in this one specifically was low contrast for dim/no room lighting. No need for paid work on these, I'll just keep in mind the ideas from everyone for the next one. =]
I was hesitant to even release this because it's technically impossible to skin it completely. For example on this skin (and every single skin), the text labels to the left of the piano keys are black, and they cannot be changed, hence everybody who attempts a dark skin gets slammed for being a shit designer, haha. Also, colors are shared across parameters, so you may make a button blue, but then suddenly a load of text labels are also blue as well as the border stroke of an effect and the face plate of another. It's a nightmare and I hope to spread awareness. I empathize with the skinners before me!

Damn. Going by the comments, I should probably reword the OP. Although it's a WIP, it IS actually up for download to use! Follow the deviantArt link. I made it look like a preview...not my intention.
EDIT: Done. Sorry for confusion if any.

Well again, I wouldn't be able to give you the exact skin you want. I can't even give myself what I want and I have the tools to do so. I wouldn't take a penny off of anybody for something I don't have complete control over.TheoM wrote:I'd still be willing to pay you for a custom skin (just for me) if you are interested. I love live but don't like any of the factory skins.. there is always something that is not quite there with the colours.
I'll most likely be making more of these, perhaps a complete pack with different color combos. Until then, you're welcome to share reference shots of the kinda contrast/colors you're after and I could probably make some adjustments to this one for you.

FYI, for OSX the process is as follows:
1 Show Package Contents by right clicking on the app itself;
2 Place the LT.ask file into Contents -- > Resources --> Skins
We go through this routinely with Logic too (showing package contents.)
BTW-- Looking Awesome!
