Hope someone gets some use from it. Big ups to the man Adrian for this plug and Apshaper, both of which I discovered recently. Safe to say these 2 plugs will replace 3, maybe 4 other plugs! Good day all-

[obeycelestia]

Nice looking black on black! Very professional looking. I'll just pop this into my AP plugs real quick...

[noiseresearch]

Looks nice. Care to share a couple of more screenshots? I do not own apQualizr.

In making these screenshots I realized there were more changes to be made(first time, sorry). To any who got the above xml, please re-copy/paste. Sorry that they're static pictures, as to see Apqualizer in action is neat in its own way, depending on what you're doing. I intentionally made the graph and curves in the display a bit drab looking, as it's easier on my eyes. Hope you can get Apqualizer one day, it's worth it!

[obeycelestia]

If you own any of the other apulsoft products you can use the same method of theming and see how they look. I dropped the same xml in each of my apulsoft plugin theme directories and they did some stuff for each plugin!

[parodyse]

Didn't even realize custom themes were allowed, thanks for this.

[kvry train]

nice one!

[Jonathan Shepherd]

Thanks! @Parodyse: It can be tedious but it's easy, you just have to go into the color theme xml and change the RGB values. You can keep the xml open and change colors in realtime. Just hit save when you're done to see the results. But be sure to make a copy of the xml, in case you get lost in your own choices(happens a lot to me).

Heres my take on the dark theme. Enjoy

  Feel free to create your own color schemes for apulSoft plugins.
  The color ids are hopefully quite self explanatory.
  To create a new scheme, please copy one of the provided files and rename it.
  The new name will then show up in the color scheme preferences menu.
  The files with the original names will likely be overwritten by any future updates of the software.

Nice one mate

[masterhiggins]

Love the last one. Red on black is a bit easier on the eyes.
