    The live interface makes me want to hurt myself.

    I'm wondering if there is a way to customise the Live 12 GUI further than the rather limited options in the preferences?

    you could create a new Theme from scratch, but there will always be limits on how to color stuff in Ableton.

    I used this site a lot - worked well in 11, but with 12 each one I tried has the same problem.
    All fonts at the top are dark no matter what you select upload_2024-3-11_20-48-31.png

    Yeah the xml values are different from 11 to 12, it's a real pain.

    I'm McLovin' it. It's not perfect but the Color Intensity and Color Hue options make all the difference in getting the desired palette I want.

    Second that, man. Cheers. And they're free. There's has to be a way to fix that top bar. Shit looks redacted. Let's all play with it and see...

    I'm the fool that still uses the default gray

    The value for the top bar text is called "TransportOffForeground Value"

    This works. "TransportOffBackground Value" changes the background color.
    "ControlOffForeground" changes the disabled parameter colors.

    Thank you @amok_san

    because they had not any time to upgrade yet, its still for Live 12.

    i have the same problem with the Spotify Themes i tried in Live12, random stuff is simply white, bcs in the XML file they added a bunch of new variables i guess.

    We maybe just have to wait or have to fix it ourselves.

    for now im good with the default one dark one.

    Default grey is an awfull backdrop and although theres a thousand skins and 99% of the free ones arent truly usable, "Theres a few good ones within that free list"

    I like gray. I love rain. And then the sun kicks my ass into euphoria.

    Unless that was for The Pink Panther
