I use Photoshop CS6 and edit the .png images directly, but keep a PSD version of images if needed. Drawing shapes with the pen tool is sort of vector graphics based, so it's sort of vector but not really as one might do with a dedicated vector program.oonabe wrote: ↑Mon Jul 12, 2021 10:18 pmShort question, did you use vector graphics for your skins or did you work directly with png files?THE INTRANCER wrote: ↑Sat Jul 10, 2021 1:23 am
There actually is code, or rather more appropriately a script required for the GUI's to work. The script provides more advanced editing such as knob, button positions and control over aspects of the displays so you can't do everything in changing the design by graphical editing alone. Also, creating the graphics is not so simple in all cases... and can be a very long-winded process, whilst requiring the knowledge and skills to do it. In effect, you can do really simple edits of the graphics such as adding a texture or changing colours, but Dune 3 whilst not as complex to edit as other synths such as Hive 2 or Zebra, still takes effort to go figure things out beyond the basics with being able to figure out the scripting side. Each script for each GUI size is unique, knob position and displays are different, whilst graphics need to be rescaled down if they are not already when edited. Not all graphics match the knob positions between different scripts and there are multiple screens you need to check so things are displayed correctly.
By the way, I'm using your variation of the 'grey' skin as my default Dune 3 skin now, but the Led screen is not looking dark as in the screenshots you posted but exactly like the original from Synapse, did I miss something or are there different versions of it?
Changes to the main screen were made in the Space Age version where it's greyscale rather than default purple colour which all the others have. The subsequent versions you see posted in this thread are using the same dark greyscale version.
As mentioned in my initial post there is a duplicate of the 'Grey GUI', (flat) simply to help in navigating.
T-I Large (the flat version) uses the original purple screen.
The LED segments were made a little darker than the T-I 1 versions, which I now realise what you might be getting at. This was to try and better match the colours.
