Hey guys,
It's taken a while, but I finally finished this! I wanted something that looked metallic, and that would fit with the new vista look and the "secret" noir theme, which you can see in the screenshot. The theme is nothing special, I just tried to keep it poressional and usable. The icons are all new, hope you like them!! Please let me know what you think, I CAN make adjustments.

Wow, those icons look great! Really nice polished look.

I think it would be cool to give the faders a similar rounded metallic look.

Keep up the great work!

I really like the dark frame and light edit area.

Wow! I gotta say, that is just beautiful. Excellent work and the icons are very, very nice. Congrats.

I do have one request: can you make a variation on this by making the track edit area dark, dark gray (nearly black) just like the mixer area below and the wave forms light? (like the Stealth skin) I work in low lighting and like *everything* I stare at for hours to be as dark as possible -- easier on the (my) eyes.

With that minor adjustment I'd make this one my default.

WOW! Thanks for all your kind words guys! I surely can make that adjustment to the track area. I really tried to make the icons work a,d show up well with dark or light themes, so feel free to experiment. Themes are easy, icons are hard.

Justin, if you feel compelled to use my small contribution in any way, please do so!

Thanks for this icon set eMaRe, I've adopted quite a few of these for my own theme.

Nice theme too, congrats!

Thanks for the suggestions, I will make another variation of the FX button. In the meantime, here is the evil twin of the original theme. As I chose the font for the icons, I knew I would have to have a theme like this as well as a plain one. Drop the font in the Windows/fonts dir if you want!

Sorry, the screenshot is of poor quality, it's downsampled...

I installed evil.zip and it was identical to the noir theme

Oooops! That was an accident. The link is fixed now if you want to try it again!

OK, here you go! The adjustments you requested...and an extra one just for fun. (See below)

Plus I could swear someone asked me for brighter FX on buttons, with the whole button blue, so here's that too.

eMaRe -

Many thanks for these.

The dark one achieves what I've been trying for ages to get right on mine and never quite got there. It's now become my default theme.

I've just made one small change for my own use - VU Meters Top has an orangey splash, giving a more obvious visual clue when the level nears the top.

Many thanks again. :)

Wow, exceedingly nice! I'm fairly new here, been trying out several of the user themes, and this is by far my favorite, particularly the icons. They look slick, but quirky enough at the same time! Plus they seem to work well with both dark and light themes, which is not true of all icons. Well done!
