We always need themes, and especially for 1.1.0! That the instruments had a rehaul just months ago shouldn't stop you from making new GUI's for those, either. It is a benefit with a lot of skins to select from if we ever want to change the appearance again, and that will happen sooner or later. Th

Hi I think it is also possible to export Illustrator files as actual SVGs without the info contained in the proprietary blob... though I've always had good experiences importing Photoshop files in Gimp and Illustrator files in Inkscape. But really, the last time I used Photoshop was 7 years ago, s

Well, one thing he can do is use Photoshop and then convert it to .xcf. I did this for the LB302 artwork. I used Paint.NET which is available for Windows only, and then I converted the .pdn file to .xcf. That worked like a charm. Best regards, Uroš On 29 August 2014 05:48, Vesa wrote: > On 08

That's fine, I'm running on Gentoo myself so command line GIT stuff and compiling is not an issue. I mainly use GIMP these days but I have a VM with Windows and Photoshop for when its needed. Thanks again and best of luck with the 1.1 release! On Friday, 29 August 2014, 3:56, Tres Finocchiaro

And one final thing... you probably figured this out already but this won't compile on windows, so to be able to edit using Photoshop and compile on the same machine, you'll be stuck using a Mac (which the software will compile on) or you'll be stuck running two operating systems. For this reason

Great. Oh, one more thing... we're almost ready to release 1.1 so please do your work on master branch (or if you are good with Git, do as Vesa does and make a dedicated branch for it -- usually requires git command line -- if you want a dedicated branch for each major change). But for starters..

Yeah, you can totally do a theme. LMMS is open to multiple themes and are finding out a way to make it easier to use. Though If its super amazing, it is possible that people decide to use the theme. In fact, we have an alternate theme in the making. You can totally contribute to this or make your
