I maybe found a way to also paint the top bar and others but its a buggy way
which doesn't change the reason behind the original grey color, it replaces the
original value completely and that can cause big visually problems.

But it's a beginning of a possible solution.

 

@momo huge work man. I started skinning fl studio and i thought i will be the only one interesting in this but you cover a long road in this project
good work bro

 

@r4e please can you find a way thru which we can modify and add some bmp images in delphi code. Since momo did a nice job on skinning this but i like to move one step further.One example of bmp images working in delphi code id parametric EQ2 itself the spectrum is bmp image but the thing is how this work in vectroial parmetric EQ that is a huge mystery

 

This new skin is taking a bit longer than i taught
went looking for the plugins settings color and just found them in the plugin folder
in the fruity wrapper.dll lol
There is also a few other things in it that ill look into, i seen a bmp and some-thing like bmp code
inside the RC Data folder.
@r4e i am just about sure the last few gray bits are not in the fl eng as i just rechecked and changed all colors again
so the hunt is still on ,let us know what you came up with would love to know
one other way is press and hold ctrl and f11

@Lunarpole
Adding bmp images to the code isn't possible. We would need the source code for that.

@momo
Take a look into the shared files folder. Some of the dll's contain the same color settings
as FLEngine.

@r4e so you mean we can't do anything apart from modifying colors

@r4e i had a look in the share folder before and removed all files from it ,
if quickfontcache and dsp_ippve are removed fl won't start up
there are rcdata folders in dsp when unpacked,
but the dll files won't open in any programs i have to show them like in the fl dll.
@Loy r4e changed a onpaint = code but its unstable when changed
looks like one of us will have to learn vector c++ and see if that will help.
p.s i have changed all 1000 + color codes in the fl dll
i don't know what to do anymore ?

Thanks for the info

haha @momo you nail'd it

 

Some realy bad news after a quick check each time fl gets updated you can't just
copy the old rcdata folder from the last version into the update as there are changes made in it
so any files that are changed you have to redo them again by hand ,

@VisualAudio
im still not happy with the toolbars ,i tryed to make the icons white and the dark bits like the rest of the program
but they go there own way, if you make the icons white the backround goes gray
the rest of the tool bar been gray as well just messes up the look
maybe one day it will look how it should ,
This is still 12.5.59 as the update is beta,i see there are alot of bug fixes in the update again
and it would be great if they just made a version that worked how it should.
Thats life i suppose
Edit link removed as its been updated,

@r4e He has found a way to fix the skins and remove the errors ,it looks lovley now no mess


will fix up a few bits and post it here soon as its ready

 

You totally nailed it, @momo!!

How do you darken down your Playlist area? I noticed your area is darker than mine. Thank you so much for this, im absolutely loving it!!

 

click on the little triangle on top left of the playlist ,look for view / grid color on the list
you can set a color there or chouse one of the custom colors.
you want to see the dark blues and black and red version now wo hooo

im working on the three of them at the moment drop bank in 2 hrs and should be ready,

 

For the sake of completeness @VisualAudio. Customizing grid color is possible the same way for the ,too.

I thinks the best thing for me to do now is take me time i be so happy .
ill do the other two after a good nights sleep as there is lots i want to do with them to make them look right,
Here is the first of them,there are a few little bits i still want to do but good things take time as they say.
for best results swap the Fruity Wrapper as well as open the template.

injoy,,, best used in the dark with adult supervision lol

Cool skin I don't like those brown colours just my opinion.

 

@AudioDesigner good thing i was'nt making it for you then
These are still been fixed so hope you will like one of them
if not you can always make your own
http://www120.zippyshare.com/v/DxWeA5m8/file.html

 

Btw.: Just replace
...\FL Studio 12\Data\Projects\Templates\Minimal\Basic\Basic with limiter.flp
with momo's template project file and FL will load the recolored one on every start.

That way the skin is more "complete".

@loy

By researching in the resource settings and simply trying things.
Created a little tutorial for you:

I tried to change the color in your dll to bright green, and it turned out)
But changing in my dll .. it did not work out, I do not understand why (
Sorry, and the video blocked, could you upload to Google Drive or file sharing?
If it's not difficult for you: 3
Generally it's great that we will now have a skin for fl studio))) Thanks to everyone who started this)
