Very much System 8 windows! That was tricky but I copied the window borders from some screen dumps from Vision and Studio Vision (there is a free downloadable version that works occasionally under Classic OS9). That was the look I was going for - not perfect (yet) under Consolidated Windows but not too bad.

Vision DSP Theme downloadable here
removed - see later posts

There will be a few variations on the Vision colour scheme still to come and maybe the odd tweak. Hope you find this useful.

Excellent, and so radically different from most themes, of course.

Way to go, Gaz!

Awesome Themes.
Thanks
Yes, I too , wish I could create my own themes, but Gotta get back on the music grind.
your themes will help me stay focused on the Monitor. Great work.

You will share "IT" with the world.

Thanks James - if anyone notices any faults or glitches just shout - as I mainly work in Consolidated Windows I may have missed some things for those who don't use the CW. Other than that I may tinker with this to get things right and will post further updates - but I have been using it on a song for a while and really like it. So it works for me - but feedback is welcome!

A revised version of this Theme - slight improvement of border in CW and other minor changes.
removed - see later posts

A new variation on Vision - nice and green using some of Vision's Appearances colour schemes.
removed - see later posts

Enjoy - I need to get on with some music now.

Congratulations in advance because I have not watched the Theme: if you need help with a detail, don't hesitate . 8)

Interesting that all three of the bundles you uploaded carry a MOTU copyright.

Probably from using a MOTU bundle as a starting point and replacing the original contents with new. It's obviously not something MOTU did. There's a string to edit in there. I forgot offhand where it is.

Hey Guitar Gaz _ 8)

If you're interested, I made a small change with your theme: the selected tab will find colorful and well connected with the Theme .

Image

If you want the exact image (kTabHeaderBar_PictID.png), I archived HERE. I think you know the process now _

:P With our knowledges, possible to achieve a super-Theme: by cons, I absolutely don't know InVision _
I think we should take care of ChannelStrip, I find it a bit too dark or too undefined .

My two cents ...

If you're interested, I have a little more work on other details such as the POLAR function and floating control Panel.

Well I am not charging for them so I don't see it as a problem - and I can't pretend they are all by me - obviously they use a DP theme as a starting point. I think it was Titan if I remember. To be honest it never even occurred to me that someone might think it was a problem - I was just sharing with this forum.
