    Hi, everyone! Made this skin, because I recently got gifted bx_opto and was frustrated with its design, so I gave it a new look.

    Here's a free link to download it. (Also if you want to support me, you can enter any sum for it you want. I'm an 18 y/o immigrant and life is very tough right now...thank you).

    As of now, it only works on MacOS. I don't know how to apply it on Windows. On MacOS it's quite easy - instructions included in the "Read Me" file.

    You can also download it without gumroad's email thing on here.

    Other pics of the UI:

    Thank you for checking it out!

    Also, I'd be glad to hear any feedback on it!

    + I'm also here to hear any other plugins you want redesigned!

    Hm, that's strange. Both the vst3 and audio unit work for me in Logic Pro and Studio One. Maybe relaunching ableton will fix it? Also, I've updated the files, so please try redownloading them.

    But yeah I recommend removing and putting the plugin back on a channel strip or relaunching your DAW after replacing the files.

    Looks great! The default skin genuinely looks so ugly, this is nice & simple!

    I don't hate the original theme, but this is classier. And dark colors are welcomed as I often mix in darker rooms. Solid work. :wink:
    Keep us updated on any progress you may have with bringing this to Windows—I'd happily throw a couple bucks at you on Gumroad. :yes:

    I'd gladly port the skin over to Windows, however it seems to me that the original skin files are locatedinside the .dll and .vst3 files. I tried using Resource Hacker, but...there was nothing. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

    If someone could help me with this, I'd be very glad!

    Thanks for the kind words!

    I could definitely create a skin for NAM, although I'll have to look into it a bit more. I have it installed on my system though.

    Thanks for the suggestion!

    Looks way better. The original skin is ugly.

    I've done graphic design for years (small, personal gigs, not as a career,) so I've torn apart plugins before out of curiosity, and only some of them actually have any accessible GUI elements inside them. I honestly don't know enough about .dll files or plugins to know why this is or how any of it works, but this site does have people who are knowledgeable in these areas, so hopefully one of them trips over this thread.
