Make Live 7 look like Live 9?

Pretty simple question.

I currently use both Live 7 and Live 9 Lite(Which came with my midi controller(yes i did eventually get one)), with Live 9 Lite being used as my main DAW, and Live 7 as a backup for when I need the extra tracks or the video capabilities for arranging soundtracks.

I really like the direction the UI has taken in Live 9, the lack of blue and black is very pleasing to my eyes. Thusly, going from 9 to 7 is a bit jarring/dissapointing. I've looked around for themes for Live 7, but not much seems to exist. And searching for things like, "live 9 theme for live 7" and the like comes up with zilch.

Basically, I'm looking for one of two things:
A). A theme for Live 7 that replicates Live 9's colors.(And don't give me any crap like "you cant change the black border", there's clearly stock themes that change the black border)
B). A theme creator type program that allows me to make a theme with 9's colors.

There are hundreds of skins out there. They should work with any version of Live. My current fave is called Dark. I picked it up from a thread on KVR a while back. Check out SonicTransfer and BluSkreen or google 'ableton live skins'.

From what I've experienced, only certain skins work on version 7. :/ I tried copying over the default Live 9 skin just now, no luck.

I'm pretty sure I was using the Sonic Transfer freebies on Live 7 ... can't be certain as it was a very long time ago.

I've tried a few in the past, but I haven't seen any that replicate 9's color scheme.
