To me they look more like the high contrast themes in Windows. They are way too dark for my eyes.

That's really the problem with it, it's like the website of @THEINTRANCER. Too much contrast because the background is too dark and the blue fonts are too bright.

TBH, yes. It's almost a revelation browsing through the pictures.

@THE INTRANCER: I always find that your skins lack contrast. I would say the default Rapid GUI is almost a role model in that regard. It's very clear, and the colour choice is very "fine" so to speak. Therefor I don't quite get why you are trying to perfect perfection. ;)

It doesn't hurt to have more choices for skins. Some people (if I remember correctly) complained about the original look of Rapid. I like the idea of having options for all plugins, such as the skins included with Sylenth1.

True, but, for me, a reskin has to give me something over the original skin, which I don't see here. Just my opinion of course.

The only thing I don't really get, is that if you go to design school they actually teach you not to do that. What with regard to the color schemes and all...

*Only wondering what would possess someone to go against that, IME that is pretty unusual for
trained designers.

I am also happy to see new skin options for Rapid. The one in this thread is looking pretty good. Looking forward to see how it develops. :tu:

You might have thought that I've abandoned this little project, but that's far from it... here's a peek at what's been one aspect of this which has actually proved to be very useful, not just in this project but in future one's too...although it's really just half the battle really. And oh this is being implemented into Rapid as you might expect.




So not only 2D image creation but 3D modelling of elements which is mathematically calculated to match the required number of images required in which to render. So more than your average knob :wink: ...The advantages of this, is that it allows you to see what the position of the knobs are numerically and accurately at a glance which none of the skins provided with Rapid do.
