well, i know , you know what you're talking about, but your directions aren't exactly clear to us slightly less geeky folk on exactly how to do this

Fixed. http://b1.s3.p.quickshareit.com/files/k ... p9f4c2.zip

Amp, thank you for this. You are the best! Now it is readable again. (but in DP6.02 it was folddown button condition was actually pure white, now it is is same as plugins when inserted)

So sorry.

1. Right click DP app, show package contents.
2. Navigate to Contents/Resources/English.lproj
3. Open the DefaultStyle.xml file
4. Scroll down to the "Default Colors" section
5. Find the parameter you want to change and type in a new number (my guide helps you figure out which one)

this is what i get when i open DefaultStyle.xml file........

kStandardTextFont kStandardTextFont kStandardTextFont kStandardTextFont -0 0 -0 244 60 50 214 214 207 253 37 37 164 180 224:223:222 204 236 245 196:196:194 145:143:156 150 160 164:160:159 204 156 179 225 130 240 120 90 214 235 188:187:185 170 255 17 255:0:0 202:0:0 82:255:59 148:143:140 82:255:59 78:73:70 154:150:149 100 kHelvetica10 kHelvetica10Bold kHelvetica9 kSystem9 kSystem9Bold kHelvetica10 kHelvetica10Bold commandKey9orID commandKey12orID kArial12 0 horiz 18 3 kDialogSideMargin kDialogSideMargin kDialogBottomMargin kDialogTopMargin kDialogSideMargin kDialogSideMargin kDialogBottomMargin kDialogTopMargin panel kPanelMargin kPanelMargin kPanelMargin kPanelMargin header kPanelMargin kPanelMargin kHeaderPanelTopMargin kPanelMargin 27 -0 3 horiz 20 3 horiz Underline kDialogSideMargin kDialogSideMargin kDialogSideMargin 8 10 -10 6 30 -10 40 100

i don't see anything about color

and looking at your defaultstyle reference, it looks like this only changes the color of the vu meter readout, not the actual background........right?

and, can you do this with the program open, and see results right away?

[amplidood]

Open it with TextEdit, it won't look like that. Then scroll down till you see a section labeled "Default Colors".

There are parameters that affect many many different areas. WindowbackgroundColor, for instance. Just go through the guide.

I just installed 'Night' 1.3. Very slick..sort of 007ish. I can now take off my sunglasses using DP7.

Thanks Amplidood!

i seem to be able to change the color of everything but the main background color of the meter bridge, i'm thinking it can't be done......this way.

WindowBackgroundColor is the one you want. Unfortunately it affects a lot of areas you may *not* want changed.

Wow. Well I guess the cat's out of the bag. Since iPerformer isn't afraid, I shouldn't be either. I'm going to get a site set up with a nice big PayPal donation button.

Good idea

I would think that as you would be only selling skins so it should be just fine.

I gotta say out of all the mods I've done, I think Tempered has hit the mark. It's so neutral in so many ways that my eyes aren't struggling at all. I was stuck on Gold and Jade for a while, but I really am digging living in this one.

The website is coming soon, just gotta become an HTML nerd now...as if I'm not enough of a nerd already.

I keep Gold, Jade and Tempered on my dock and I agree. In a dream world Motu will let use switch between them in real time or better yet, allow use to use the TO from Gold and the MIDI from Tempered and the Mixer from Jade etc...

Amazing work dood! Thanks again (and again)

I forgot to make a duplicate of my original 7.02 and replaced it's skin with "tempered".

When I open "tempered" it defaults to another skin. Is there a way to copy the skin of the original 7.02 back so that I can duplicate it and start the process all over again? I hope it's clear what I'm asking.

Thanks

Thanks so much for the tip on RapidWeaver, bdr. I didn't want to get into anything as complex as iPerformer's site, and this will allow me to do that and still have something that looks good.
