That's exactly what I did for some of the elements. I created the adjustments on one image, made a preset (or macro - whatever they call it), then did batch processing in Affinity to apply the same modifications to them all.

If you're willing to share, I'd love to see your mods when they're ready!

What do folks think of this update to the FX grid? I can't help but think of the quote from Spinal Tap, "there's a fine line between clever and stupid."

It still needs some work with the pulldown menus and off-state transparency, but this is the basic idea (again, just adding more color). I think I like it...but it's too new and I can't be sure. Looking for opinions (even if it's just "try these other colors instead").

Too much color on the FX section compared to the rest of the UI.
Why not just colored zones only for FX labels?

Personally I don't like multi colored GUIs. It makes things look toyish to me.

If I were to use this skin I would immediately knock the colors off and make them all grey.

Ok, went with grayscale versions. But still kept the separation between the units for a stompbox-like effect. Also changed the menu colors to black (and the tiny triangles) with white text for more contrast and in keeping with the rest of the changes in theme. I'm pretty happy with this small tweak.

Better I think! Will update Gizmo to 2.2 in a day or two just so I have some time to make sure I didn't miss anything else or downright hate the change.

I like the colors... reminds me of my Moog Matriarch...

I can provide the alternate image in the folder and anyone who wanted the colorful version could just swap out the one image for the other.

The black color for menus and the stompbox-like effect are great!
Do you think colored labels for units names would work?

That's not bad either!

I'd be quite happy if you wanted to mod it. You'd just add the colorful rectangle to the background image (no text - the theme will add that already).

I quite like the colorful version with the black menus. I'll provide the gray and colorful versions and let users mod it.

The black menus really made these pop IMO.

Well, maybe I can try to find the time next week…
I love your work on this skin anyway (and Plugmon's work of course)!

I just ended up doing it for you. Check the first post.

Updated skin posted in the first post! There are 3 versions of the FX section. One colorful (stomp-box style), one gray, and a gray one with colorful labels.
