Hey hey, I was messing with a theme I've been tinkering with today. It's like a mash up between Logic, Pro Tools 8 and OSX style.........so it's grey basically
I like the inserts, fx params and sends how they are now..............but all the buttons are a bit naff.
They're pretty much just black text, and not properly aligned yet.
Any button-style suggestions? Bearing in mind that I've made the mcp backgrounds a few pixels narrower........so the buttons also have to work narrow.
Here is a screencast of the mixer atm, and here are a couple pics of the new vs old style buttons (the mouse cursor didn't hide properly in Jing - it looks better when it hides). I'm thinking that the black strip style kinda works, so if I made them a dark grey rather than pure black it might fit in nicely. Thoughts?
current buttons (yuck):

old style buttons:

Bear in mind I'm going for simplicity for this theme. I don't like loads of colours all over the place. That's why I changed the fx params and sends. I don't really care about reading the dB level of the sends all the time, if I want to know I'll read the tooltips.
Vol and pan sliders stolen from Rado (hope that's ok Nick, they're nice...........and maybe rec_arm as well, I'm not sure..........I'm a thief
)
aaaaanyway
ideas?
cheers
