Praise indeed - thanks Shooshie. I do these tweaks in my down time when too tired for composing/recording. A satisfying diversion. Don't know how to share these - but would if anyone was interested.

These are great! Thanks so much for taking the time to develop and share these creations!

Can I ask a basic question? How exactly do you install these themes? I downloaded several of them, and they appear in my Safari download folder as .bundle files. When I try opening them, I get this message:

"Safari can’t open the file “Automnal.bundle” because no available application can open it."

What's the process for getting the files from the download folder into DP8 so that they are usable? Sorry for my technical ignorance.

Thanks.

A good question _
On an Apple computer, placed the unpacked file to the following location:

HD / Library / Application Support / MOTU / Digital Performer / Themes

And for Windows users, the path is: C:\ProgramData\MOTU\Digital Performer\
Themes .
Warning: the latter case (Themes) can be hidden . :oops:

Really nice ideas - thanks for sharing.

I have been experimenting with the look of the mixer giving it a curved metallic sheen which I find pleasing to the eye. This includes my new Moving Waves theme based on the Focus album cover - a fave album from my 6th form days.

We feel an alloy, a mixture of several Themes: the one I prefer is really "Close to the Edge" _
