New Version 8 Skin (WiP) - -BIG ImageIt will be called XTRO and the important parts of it - Mixer, toolbars and borders, should be finished in the next day or two. After that I will release it, then start working on the instruments. I think the new default skin is really poor so I wanted to get some alternatives done ASAP. I need to tweak a few things on Blue Steel before I can release an updated version of it, but it's really for expert-level users, this is more for mass consumption (I hope). Hypnagogia has updated all the old skins to work with Version 8, hopefully he will share those with everyone, too (even the old "Classic" skin is better than the new thing).

Re: New Version 8 Skin (WiP) - -BIG ImageKilla!
hehe I'll use it bones. Maybe I'll have another lash at making it blue and purple,if you don't mind. Last time the contrast in mine was too low. I'll get the flat skin compatible too. I will upgrade today. I think the revised skinning system and UI work is going to be the best thing about 8 for me. Thanks man, looking good
Re: New Version 8 Skin (WiP) - -BIG Imagechrist, my eyes, can't imagine ever writing music with a screen looking like that!
although I'm possibly too used to the plain old bulky 'azura' skin, with respect, a lot of these skins (for loads of DAWs) people make are horrible, amateur plug in looking clusterfucks. had a look at a few of em and thought the same, yes I know it's not all about the gui - I'd prefer plain old sliders to a thing that looked like a computer game. not that I have time to make any myself, or am any good at designing decent professional looking environments, so I leave well alone. possibly shouldn't have posted this at all if I have nothing good to say, might create a good argument that might challenge my beliefs tho!

Re: New Version 8 Skin (WiP) - -BIG ImageActually, that's not really fair ( lol guilt )
I can see where you are going with it when looking at it again, things are actually a lot more compact and you can fit a lot more on the screen I think the colours/textures threw me, eq looked like the Predators alphabet for a min & confused the beejezus out of me Are those faders longer too? like the idea of the buses up the side of them I'd like it more if it were plainer.
Re: New Version 8 Skin (WiP) - -BIG ImageThe length of the big slider is fixed. You can change the co-ordinates for it but it has no effect. There are a lot of limitations that make it hard to do too much. e.g. I'd like to make each band of the EQ a different colour but they all use the same slider graphics, so it can't be done. I might see if there is room to perhaps put a box behind each band or something. I agree that it is a bit confronting at first, but you quickly get used to it.

Re: New Version 8 Skin (WiP) - -BIG ImageOK, I've got it finished to Stage 1 and I've included a couple of things from my older Blue Steel skin - Pro 9 and Screamer. You can download it from HERE and if you refresh your browser you will get an updated screenshot. Just unzip the whole thing into the "Skins" folder.
Let me know if you find any problems with it and I will try to fix 'em. I've been using it a bit over the past couple of days and found a few, so it should be OK now. Dell G7 (Hexa-Core i7)|Cubase Pro 10||Analog Keys|Ultranova|MicroMonsta|Uno|Skulpt|Craft Synth 2.0|

Re: New Version 8 Skin (WiP) - -BIG Image
yeah, I've actually warmed to it, it's the layout that is nifty once I got past the initial shock - haha. I see about it being hard to do stuff, I don't understand enough about the whole system to comment, I guess it is not as easy as slap whatever you like here and there though, you are bound by some kind of limitations, shared graphics etc Gonna download it anyway & give it a go, Cheers.
Re: New Version 8 Skin (WiP) - -BIG Image
Thank you very much, Bones, for this nice and suitable skin for Orion 8, very good work. I have downloaded it and when there are any problems regarding this skin I will report it. Only in the mixersliders there could be some lines in order to identify exact loudness values. Richard should add this skin to the downloadversion of Orion 8 ! Do you now when all the skins are made ? Thanks again !!!
Re: New Version 8 Skin (WiP) - -BIG ImageThere is no point in putting values on the meters in the Mixer as Mixer channels have infinite headroom. You can see exact gain values in the left-hand corner of the status bar as you move the fader, which is a much better way of working to exact values.

Re: New Version 8 Skin (WiP) - -BIG ImageI've found a couple of bugs and tidied up a few things I wasn't happy with. I will post an update later today, so if anyone has found anything else, now is the time to let me know.

Re: New Version 8 Skin (WiP) - -BIG ImageThis really needs to be the default skin its so much more unified.
Re: New Version 8 Skin (WiP) - -BIG Image
Whilst this is a pretty cool skin, in no way should it be default.
