New skins...

Post by sir_dss » Sat Mar 07, 2009 12:23 am

How do I install a new skin that's not an Ableton one?

Im using a Mac and I cant find the Live application directory?

If someone could walk me through it step by step it would be great.

Thanks

What a great first post. :wink: :D We all have different priorities.

Welcome to the forums, though!

Go to the Live application in your Applications folder. Right-click on the Live icon and select 'Show Package Contents,' and a folder called 'Contents' will open. Then navigate to Contents->App-Resources->Skins. Drop the new skins in that folder.

Live can't really be skinned. There are different color schemes, though.

I always thought it would be great if someone made a Tron theme...

is that really a "skin" or just changing the color scheme?
I was thinking about skins like how people get crazy with WinAmp skins...
