Make the currently selected scene/clip more visible?

[fakemoney]

I'm wondering if there's some way I can make the session view crosshairs (clip/scene selection x/y) more apparent than it is. When I'm playing live and I'm not right next to the screen, it's hard to tell which scene and which slot is selected. Is there some way I can create an APC-style Big Red Box around the scene in focus, or some skin I can get that will make that shit pop out? I've trolled the forums but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for....

You can't change the look of Live besides those few built in skins, so that quite sums it up I guess.
They should make it changable like in Cubase, you can use that idea to go spamm the feature request board

There IS a skin editor but I don't think it will let you add that nice red box around anything.

Yes there is an editor, but it only works with Live 7...
Aren't we all on Live 8 by now ?

SonicTransfer Ableton Live Skin Editor works fine with Live8.
Just stick the .ask files in \Resources\Skins\

Well I'll be damned! In the first version of Live 8 this didn't work for me anymore, but aparently they fixed it!
Sweet, now I can use my dark theme again for music making at night

Thanks for pointing this out!

Hm. I seem to recall a thread (which of course I can't find) about creating scripts for virtual devices or something...some kind of APC emulation that would allow you to create a big red box around your selected scenes...it wasn't too long ago, maybe a month back? I'm drawing blanks.

Anyone know the file pathway for the SKINS on a Mac operating system. It's easy enough to find in Windows but Mac is confusing me.

On the Mac you need to "show package contents " on the Ableton Live application then navigate to the app-resources folder.
