L9 - GUi customization, minor changes

[Attracks pilot]

Hi there!

Although I'm new to this forum, I am deeply impressed by all your beauties on Logic Pro customization.
In fact, I can't find all resources ... probably because I'm not familiar with this forum and/or some resources are gone.
Can one of you help me to find the resources, used in the following items:
• The hardware grid for the EQ part; shown by Septicstudio on Aug 7 and 10, 2009.
• The slightly dimmed colored buttons; posted by malbino on Jul 17, 2012.
• The shadowed buttons for Panning and Sends; also presented by Septicstudio on Aug 7, 2009.

Many thanks in advance!
Greetz,
GJ

This is what I could find in my own modded Logic.

Thanks again, mate!

Since I'm working on this customization, I get the following questions:
• How can I change the lightgreen outline color of the selected control strip in the mixer?
• Where can I find the resource for the lightblue color of the Pan and Send knobs after giving them a value?
• What is the function of the SwitchGreen(Dark) en TextButton resources?
• How can I change the light blue buttons on top of each working area?
Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I have added all my logic mods I had on my HDD to this post as an archive.

None of it was made by me, just collected in here since beginning of the thread, and my personal selection on them.

That's great, Septicstudio!
Thanks a lot.
Cheers

Thanks to you all for the beautiful Logic Pro enhancements!
Special thanks to Eriksimon and Septicstudio for their help in finding the "good old" resources.

The past couple of weeks, I've implemented a lot of your material, but I also tried to build on your ideas .. resulting in the next screenshot.
One of the builds is trying to be consistent … especially in terms of light source: from above and a little to the left.
Here's an overview:
• Thanks to mindprint, I was able to change the level meters on the faders as well as on the tracks. In fact, that was what I was looking for!
• I "borrowed" this idea to change the CPU/HD load meters in the Transport Bar.
• Build on the absolutely beautiful industrial plates for the idle EQ backgrounds from Edgar Rothermich, I created an idle look for these EQ backgrounds. For me, it looks more logic now, but that is a personal issue of course.
• Furthermore, I tried to achieve lookalikes from my Behringer mixer (knobs for faders, pan's and send's), based on the ideas from brown dog, ampgui and elmarkey.
• The less shiny mixer buttons on all control strips - for instance from elmarkey - were the basis for mine; although I changed the colors a bit.
• That's also the case for the fader backgrounds from TheBlueRoom.
• More or less the same applies for the level meter clipping LED's from Tui and dakiniz.
• As a matter of fact, I also changed the About and Splash Screens, but that's less important since it displays my logo now.

Thanks again and cheers!

Hi GJ, thank you, very thoughful of you, this "Oscar speech", I'm now very curious wether your music also shows this meticulous attention to detail... can't wait to hear some.
I spite of your apparent thoroughness, you omitted one thing: the screenshot... it's not attached, nor is it part of the package...

Show us the mod!

[Attracks pilot]

Oops! I forgot ... That's very thoughtful from your side, Eriksimon!
But, here it is!

BTW: you can get an impression of my music at: http://www.attracks.net ... but I'm waiting to get an approval for uploading my recent soundtracks.

A nice homeostasis of sorts; altogether, good job Attracks pilot, an all-embracing comprehensive finalization.

[Attracks pilot]

Thanks, mate!

How about this one?

I guess that a group icon works more intuitive than an empty slot.
In order to keep the group names / numbers readable, I didn't give it too much contrast.

Enjoy!

BTW: What is the function of "CT", like in "CTButtonDark.tiff"?

[rone2him]

I like it... always find my eyes just search to find those "group" slots, when there are none activated; they just blend into the background

[Attracks pilot]

You're welcome!

Just as another eye catcher, I changed the Bounce-button as well:

Looks cool. I like that. Love your group slot as well.

Group is pretty cool, bounce buttons red graphic just dosen't work with grey .

Thanks for your feedback, guys!
Enjoy the stuff you like. (See also my post on Wed Oct 03, 2012 5:30 pm.)
I understand your point, route-electrique. My first attempts were grey and green. I've chosen for red because it's related to recording (which is always red). What color do you prefer?

Yeah, don't get me wrong, you've done great work, just to my eyes red (might be something to do with my day job: i'm web developer) is not working with the grey well as it could .

[Attracks pilot]

Fair enough!
