oops!
well, I guess sqook hasn't exactly assembled his Dev team just yet
, so I hope he is still reading this thread!
I think there will be a few disapointed people there Alex, unless you are going to release an authorised skin editor, we are all creative types and like to 'create' and 'customize' our instruments. my philosophy on this is pretty much here

hopefully you dont mind me and others doing this hex editing by hand?
I guess this just makes it a little harder and therefore cooler huh?8)
and yes, I think the waveform progress marker should be a very different colour from both the wave and the wave background IMHO.
D'oh!
well maybe there are ways around it....
for now I guess we can post our requests....
PEARSONART - I think part of the reason you said you couldnt quite get the pastell shades etc is because you were just copy/pasting lines already there and there arent any shades like that already in any of them.
so my request:
something not so dark and stern but also something not glaringly bright - I often would prefer something brighter in colour - I like frost but it's like looking into a blizard after a while - it's just TOO bright, maybe it would be better as a kind of cream/off white
I would like to see pastel green/blue/beige/burgundys - none of them too strong
the problem with many of the current ones is they are WAY TOO strong, grey is too dark and depressing, I would definitely prefer more beige/ faint pastell green/blue/peach - that is the key, faint colours - subtle hues and not these "laser" type ones that are unusable because they would send you crazy after about 3 minutes.
Think of it psychologically - what effect does Grey have on creativity?? not alot. If anything it would act as a depressant. Same with all the darker ones. They don't stimulate the retina and mind...
the most relaxing colours in psych terms are said to be green because it has the calming effect of there being plenty of food and water in nature, but I'm not sure I'd like to stare at a full on green, again I think a subtle, pastell green. I also like the light peachy orange colour - but the oranges around so far are a total eyesore.
Like alot here have said I still want alot to change them regularly, but there needs to be more variety and less glaryness.....
