It's like the "Night Green" variation... just a few files for a slightly different look.

Hey guys,

If anyone is having some pref and dialog windows come up weird, it's because an extra ">" got into some DefaultStyle.xml files when I was moving data around. Let me know and I'll make new versions available for those mods.

EDIT: I'm pretty sure it's just the new Mellow Electric Blue optional files that have the error.

UPDATE: Fixed the Mellow "Electric Blue" file, it's now on the site.

I'm in love with this version of Mellow. I'll slowly be bringing some other elements along into that realm as I go.

Just an observation, the fader knob in the channel strip is still green in the Mellow Elec Blue version.

Whoops. I'll put up a new version, but you can fix it by making a copy of

kVertLevelMeterIconSet_PictID.png

and renaming it

kVertLevelMeterLightIconSet_PictID.png (you'll need to delete the file with this name that's there already)

UPDATE: New version uploaded.

Andy,
I totally love your mods. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get the Mellow Electric Blue mod to work. I'm dropping Default_Style.xml into the English.lproj folder and all the other files into the Images folder and replacing all the old files. I'm still getting the Mellow appearance.

Am I doing something wrong?

Hrm... if you are using 7.1 you have to drop the files into the new Supplemental folder that's in the Resources folder. Sounds like you understand the pre-7.1 method very well. It was such a pain, right?

If you are not in 7.1, then I'm not sure why that wouldn't work. I haven't made a DefaultStyle for pre-7.1 versions yet, I wouldn't recommend using that.

Perfect! I was using my laptop which is where I "test" the new mods before installing them on my studio computer. Somehow it was a pre supplemental folder version.

The new string resource for naming is totally awesome!
