are you guys laughing? we live in 2020 - and the design of 6 theme is drawn as in the beginning of 2000

I wish I had these looks in 2000

If you don't like the default theme, take a look at the available ones (there are literally dozens) and select one that looks better for you. One of the advantages of REAPER is that there are so many choices that the chances you find one that suits you are really high: https://stash.reaper.fm/tag/Themes

I have been working in reaper for several years and I tried a lot of themes - and refused all of them, since most of them are either not adapted for laptop screens or look ridiculous like a child’s

The problem needs to be solved not with a new painted skin - but with a redrawing of the whole GUI with all elements and menus inseparably

Well, I said here repeatedly that I find Live GUI unbearable, but there is a lot of people who love it.

I guess this is a very personal thing, and each of us has his/her own opinion about what a good GUI should be. At least with REAPER you have choices. Too bad you don't like any of them, but then you must be very difficult to please

Reaper has always looked terrible in its default state. I've found a few themes that make it look pretty good though. At the end of the day it's a tool to make music, not a toy. It's efficiency is amazing.

It's like complaining about the look of a toaster or a screwdriver.

People are shape conscious. Apple has made a fortune exploiting this fact. Reaper has fantastic abilities and is incredibly fast and stable, but it has the sex appeal of a saltine.

I prefer sex with my girlfriend. Sitting in front of a sexy tool skin doesn’t help my sex appeal...

Maybe it's just the strong desire to show off in the era of Instagram & the likes that made Apple so successful...

I prefer sex with my girlfriend as well. At least when my wife is out of town.

I'm not trying to bash Reaper, but there has to be a reason such a powerful, affordable program doesn't sell better than it does, right?

Apple has been making stuff since the 1970's and their emphasis on attractive hardware design has been a real marketing thing since the turn of the millennia. iPod, eMac... On the software side it's been there since the Lisa. I'm not a fan of the company, but credit where credit is due.

But, honestly, they've been popular in the agency and marketing realm only - for decades. Places, where 'good looking' played and plays an important role.

The design guys are fond of Apple, the technic guys need Linux, and everyone in
between these two takes Windows. To each his own!

Apple doesn't have an exclusive on this, it was just an example. Stop reading brand bias into my comments.

Everyone is subject to shape consciousness. You, me, everyone. You don't have to be blinded by it, but many are. And probably all of us at least some of the time.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that.

Stop feeling offended while I just discuss viewpoints without any prejudice.
