By the way, I'm really liking that Gold version. I may adopt that. I'm REALLY starting to wish that we had a menu for skins. It would be nice to use Gold for a while, then switch to iPerformer's night blue, then your gray, etc.
Thanks Shoosh. Your opinion means alot.

You could very easily do the trick of just duplicating the app and applying different mods to each one. I do this as I'm developing them, and have since the beginning. There have been no ill effects.

Okay, I think I've nailed just about everything that needs to be at this point. These new versions should last a while, indeed. Yeah right...

I should ask again, was anyone using the Light version?

New gold variation posted. Will check for 7.01 compatibility tommorow.

I gotta say again, I makes me a little sad to realize all the time I may have lost by not using Gimp from the beginning. What a powerful app. Once you get over the non-standard Macness, it's great. I feel like I can work 10x faster and not get so frustrated.

Ugh the variation sucks. Think I'm going to can that one. Like I've said before, I'm learning about this as I'm going along. Sometimes ya nail it. Sometimes you miss and hit the photographer...he shouldn'a been standing there anyway.

Don't know if this is in the "thinks you can't do" category... but... I just tried the Gold theme, and wondering if the black space in the track overview where the MIDI and audio appears couldn't also be shaded like it is in the Sequence Editor.

BTW, nice looking mod. I tried it and may stick with the stock one, or switch back and forth depending on my mood, but nice work... thanks!

Could you screenshot that? I'm not exactly sure what area you are referring to.
Wait, do you mean can the bottom track list and overview have a drop shadow?

Sorry, I just mean the background that surrounds the soundbites and MIDI data in the right side of the Track Overview window... the "empty measures." It seems the background is gold-tinged in the Sequence Editor but still light grey in the Track Overview.

Wow, you're right, the SE does seem a bit off white. I have no idea if I did that or not, never had the intention. I've looked and looked for where to alter the background of the TO with no luck. It's probably hidden in the glogs somewhere.

Is your dark mod finished? the Gold is looking great.

I don't see the pics for the dark mod anymore.

Are you not recommending that one...
