Fugue Audacity Skin

Post by tjoho0 » Sat Jan 31, 2009 3:21 pm

Hi there. Here's a skin I did for the Audacity 1.3.6 beta (now 1.3.7).
It's based on the fugue icon set from http://www.pinvoke.com/. It also features the Audacity Tango icon by ~STATiK-04 (http://statik-04.deviantart.com/art/Tan ... n-93201066).

Nice looking theme tjoho0, though I think that theme looks better on your (Mac?) computer than on mine (Linux).

It will be nice when Theme support is extended to more elements ;)

Thanks for the feedback and print screen. I'm gonna do my best to get it look better on Windows/Linux systems. Stay tuned.

Yep. There's been a few changes/tweaks to it since I first mentioned it.

EDIT: I've uploaded a new version with updates for the Windows and Linux builds. Check it out and send me a print screen. :geek:

By the way, did you replace the copy/paste icons, since the ones included in the theme aren't visible in your print screen?

Here is a Windows screenshot. I've saved the .png in case we make a collection of ready made themes available via Preferences, or keep a repository of them online. I'd regard it as a Mac-specific theme really.

However I don't regard the colour contrasts in the unmuted waveform, or those in the gain and pan controls as sufficient. I'd personally find the waveform very tiring to work with in a session of more than a few minutes. The worst problem (to me) is with the RMS (center) part of the waveform. Perhaps you could consider that, while keeping within the aesthetics of the theme as you see them.

Thanks very much for the contribution.

Thanks for the feedback. I agree. It's a mac-theme, no doubt. What I find weird though is why you guys aren't getting all the icons, like pasteboard, multitool, pen, etc.
Also, your play button seems to be a bit offset compared to mine, although it's the same imagecache file.

I will have a look at the RMS. thanks again
