    Can someone indicate a plugin that is easy to skin, ie .png images?
    I would like to try and give it a shot in skining/designing gui. I already made a theme for reaper but i would like to give it a go with a smaller size project!

    kontakt. but only makes sense for custom instruments i guess. you can import backgrounds or design knobs and everything, pretty creative and ppl sharing stuff you can use.

    There's a couple companies that offer official skinning capabilities. Off the top of my head I remember MeldaProduction.

    i don't know anything about GUI design, but if i did, i'd probably tackle airwindows plugins since they don't have native skins. one could start from scratch.

    Melda is offering a dedicated app for skining, but it is verry, very complicated :unsure:

    That would be great, but i'm afraid it would require coding :dunno:

    Blue Cat's plugins like MB-5 can use personalized Skins,
    but I never seen other than the stock..

    Another option is Reaper, you can make fully personalized Themes,
    but you'll have to learn their Walter code which beyond a basic level is very strange..

    afaik Analog Obsession plugins have their skins available as .png files when you open them via a tool like Resource Hacker.
    Customized AO Rare myself because I didn't like the large bpb branding, worked out really well and was pretty easy.

    i would advise surge. its open source, and they made a skinning tutorial. and, btw, that plugin needs an eye-friendly skin, imho.

    +1 for Surge

    Microtonic is also fairly simple to skin.

    I was about to that. But this probably needs a lot of time - if you want to skin all parts (some thousand files per plugin?).
