I disagree. I use a skin called Tympanic (from someone whose name I've long since forgotten) that looks very similar to the color choices here, and it is the only skin I can stand with Live.This skin makes that hard and will over a long work day be very tiring.

To my eyes, the contrast and color choices are SO much nicer to look at than any of the Live native skins. First thing I do on every new update is move the Tympanic skin into the Resources/Skins folder, because using any of the Ableton-provided ones has become downright unpleasant.
The Disco skin is the most usable one, but I really don't like the orange highlights on everything - much prefer the green.
