[Full Bucket]

Sure, if you don't mind knob shadows over the text or those pointless end cheeks that fade to solid black.I personally don't like it much at all.
So that's a no to having the nicer original skin, then?

[Full Bucket]

You can have both... now!

Hello Layzer

Very nice !

But the mid-tone blue that you have chosen makes extremely "modern" beside the superb nostalgic style of the rest of the GUI. This mid-tone blue is more of the 90's ages than of the end of the 70's.

But the idea of using the blue is nice.

And if the dark green background and dark background display devices were the the most used since 1976, there was at the end of the 70's (starting from 1979 exactly in the Japanese factories and only for pocket calculators in the beginning) already some display devices having dark blue backgrounds which were produced in the factories, mainly by Casio in Japan and by Texas Instruments in the USA. Even the famous rack version of Prophet VS in 1987 had a dark blue background display, because there was yet too much losses in the making of other colors for the display devices having more that one or two digits.

The Korg Delta didn't have any display... so putting one on a VST emulation might be in very neutral, very discrete color, to respect the rest of the GUI.

The very first Korg to have a display device was the Korg Poly-61 in 1982... and it was only two dark red "2-digits" displays and one dark green "2-digits" displays, all very conventional.

The very first mid-tone color digital display ever build was the Super-twisted nematic LCD display device... in 1984. We used it in my profession for the first data acquisition of biological parameters on for the first built-in graphical displays used on geology. Long time before, in 1967 were produced the first mid-tone blue and mid-tone green displays based on the "vacuum fluorescent" technology, but they were never used on musical devices because of the huge cost due to the huge loss in the factories.

The mid-tone blue backgrounds in the display devices appeared in the factories (in Japan as well as in the USA) very late (in 1987 with the Korg DS-8 if I recall correctly), and never on "vintage" things. These mid-tone display devices were originally made for big mainframe computers, peripherals made by Xerox and short numeric data displays on boards by DEC.

So... could you you just try with a darker blue, just to see the result? A blue like the one you use in the middle of your own avatar:

(in RGB it seems to be around #000080). It would be much, much, much more in the tone of the ages of the very last 70's and beginning of 80's.

Just to see the result, to check if it fits better with the very vintage style of the rest of the GUI which is obviously made to keep a neutral aspect.

hi winny

thanks, yes, the blue could be darker, but that would create a very high contrast against the very white font which i can not change. i'll see if i can get Bjorn to darken it a bit to suit a darker blue

this is what i have in mind :

Cheers, Björn

Thanks for giving us the choice!

layzer, are you really that sensitive against a little criticism, or people just stating their personal preferences
