    I've created quite a few Skins for The Usual Suspects - OsTirus
    Hoping to inspire you creative lot to make some too :wink:
    Samples Thumbs1.jpg
    Samples Thumbs2.jpg

    Skins [Fixed++] as of 14/11/2025


    I selected the default 'TrancyTI' skin then right clicked the GUI and select GUI Skin > export current skin to disk [exported to: C : \ Users \ YourUserName \ Documents \ The Usual Suspects \ OsTIrus \ skins] (Windows)
    I then copied that exported VirusTI_Trancy folder and named it to another name VirusTI_Blues and changed the .rcss and .rml files inside to the same name as my folder, naming the two files inside to VirusTI_Blues.rcss and VirusTI_Blues.rml


    Edit: On 13th Novemeber 2025 I realised that it is best to edit the .rml and .rcss files inside of the Skins [Folder] not just by renaming them to match your 'Skin' name like I first thought, but to edit inside of those files to be able to change font colours, font weight and size etc.
    How to? Using exported VirusTI_Trancy [Example]. Open NotePad and click File > Open... and change the box in the [bottom right] from Text Documents (*.txt) to All Files (*.*) and navigate to the VirusTI_Trancy [OsTIrus Skin Folder] and Open VirusTI_Trancy.rml. On the 7th line down you will see:
    <link type="text/rcss" href="VirusTI_Trancy.rcss"/>
    Change this to the name so that is points to the name of your Skin .rml in this case it is already correct and click File > Save (not Save As...). Now you can Open VirusTI_Trancy.rcss and edit any font colours #ffffff (etc) and Save (not Save As...).
    Example: So you want to create your own Skin and you exported the above Skin in VST (GUI) and you change the Skin [Folder] name to eg. VirusTI_MySkin
    Rename the .rml and .rcss inside that Skin folder to VirusTI_MySkin.rml and VirusTI_MySkin.rcss
    Open the VirusTI_MySkin.rml in NotePad and change the 7th line to VirusTI_MySkin.rcss and 'Save'.
    The you can edit your (GUI) Font Colours, Weight and Size in the VirusTI_MySkin.rcss file and 'Save'

    This .text (font colour) key map, should help a little bit changing some of the Colours:

    The Snow one looks pretty good, but how do we use it? Or is it not ready yet?

    Thanks for your work too Samsum!

    It's not finished yet. We'll get a download link when he manages to complete it, and then we can add the finished skin to our OsTIrus.

    Looks amazing, totally pro looking. I'm not sure how you go about changing all the sliders and the looks you've designed on the left hand side and removing the paypal(dot)me link at the bottom but presume you have to dig deeper to be able to achieve that? (I'm only amateur) :yes:
    Thanks for teasing us and for all the hard work you've been putting into creating this one so far. I'm very, very, very impressed :wink:

    Perhaps once the skin is finished, you could make it available to a wider audience.

    In your heart.
    This is beautiful, will the clean version be ready soon? Will there be a version without the Supreme logo? Does multi-mode work? Could there be a Ti 2 version similar to the Snow version but with 16 channels? Sorry for all the questions and requests, but I'm amazed by your great work, and I hope you'll release a skin for the JE8086 when it's public.
