Nice, that someone else is trying to skin FL12.x.

FL gets developed in Delphi and therefore you have to convert the colors from PhotoShop/Web into delphi color codes
to get 'em to work. For that I'm using a little app called "ColorMania".



You can download it here (made it portable as a single file and added a nice looking icon).
ColorMania51.rar

My prefered tool to edit everything skin related is Heaventools Resource Tuner 2.x because it's
very easy to use and handles 32Bit + 64Bit binaries and also (simple) packed files with ease.

AND there is a solution to automate the skinning, when FL gets updated. It's Resource Tuner Console 2.x.
With that tool, you can add your customizations into a config file and then simply create a batch file,
which runs Resource Tuner Console, calls the config file and sets the file, which has to be changed.

That way you just have to run that batch file and all your changes are getting added in a few seconds.
It also helps you to "save" your progress in skinning flengine.dll and porting your changes to new updates.

If you want these tools for "trying before buying", check out google or write me a message cause it's prohibited
to post them in the forum.

 

Good work. Appreciate the effort as I would like to see FL Studio with a customized interface. Thanks in advance.

 

Thanks man

 

Update
New Dark Mixer. Now knobs for EQ are Black and upon sliding will change color to grey

 

All Plugins have now Black background with Orange flare on touch

 

HD Dark appearance Of Artacoustic reverb

 

Be cool to see the step seq.

 

mmm... is not a skin at all, are only a color replace over original skin... why? somebody need?

 

I don;t even use FL Studio, but fair do's on trying to improve the look. I like my DAWs dark, so the black menus look good in my opinion. However, the coloured mixer tracks just looked like a semi-transparent block over the default skin and don't really look that great in my view, but don;t know if that's default FL Studio or your tweaks Just trying to give some constructive criticism

Keep up the creative work!

 

Good thing

 

Guys you can post your views whether you like the skin or not.I mean i dont know some people are excited for skin and some call it complete shit.But still i will put it as free download because i know even the most negative critics will give this skin a shot

 

first thanks for your utmost effort doing this, :D second please when it will be ready for download?

 

lol bro i like your honesty. lunarpole, i didnt even know you could skin 12. i used to be a designer and did some stealth skins for older versions but i dont think we will ever have 100% full customized ability to reskin the whole interface.

 

Ehhhm excuse me, but could you send us the first alpha version of the skin. i was thinking about if that is just a joke from your side, but who knows

 

No its not a joke if you can see my youtube channel i am already using the skin in my productions.The alpha version of skin is complete.You know its not the png images which we can modify easily rather i am modifying the actual fl studio coding which is written in delphi language Also i was busy these days so not get time to upload the skin i will upload the skin tomorrow.

Hope i will get good response from you guys

 

The skin is uploaded to audioz. Just waiting for the moderator to post it. Hoping he will not post in archive section

 

looking forward to try it, and give a feedback, thanx for the work you do tho

 

@Lunarpole
This web-site should help as well ,have a look at system color value and web colors.
you can also use copy & paste from the page and use the tools r4e shared and talked about to save everthing.
