L9 - GUi customization, minor changes

Or t his

 

Some help from shivermetimbers pic

Numbers on the pan pot are kind of useless. However, the It would be nice to have a black knob with a white stripe that indicated the position. Much like the effects knob with the little dot. To change the dot to a line and use it on a pan pot would be fantastic.

 

Right now my selected track looks like a pac man game.

 

 

I need to find a photo edit program and the correct .tiff files.

 

I am content with the green line around the selected track. I don't like the entire strip lighting up gray.

Adobe has a demo of photoshop elements. good for 30 days. should give you enough time to fix things. Or buy it for like 89 bucks

Thanks browndog,

 

I have a few photo editors, but I seem to be obsessed with finding that Bluish ring for the pans, sends, etc.

 

It seems that color is not changeable, and then a transparent layer sits on top of it to open/close its view. The main button simply sits on top and then the numbers on top of that.

 

I may be trying to change something that isn't possible atm.

I'm trying to find the same thing. Not sure we will?

 

let me know if you do OK

 

Thanks

I gave up on the blue circle.

 

I used the Logic install disk to clear out the GUI mess I made.

 

Everything is set back to normal and it left everything else untouched, including my Controller assignments.

 

So I will start over and screw it all up again.

EdgarRothermich i got my friend to put the colours of the the level meters in the mixer from your gui mod onto the track level meters in the arrange.

 

here it is not much i know but it was bugging me lol.

TrackLevelMeter.tiff.zip

thanks brown dog but i went to the silver large rotary knob i really liked the black ones though shame you carnt change the colour of the pan amount from black to white when it is selected in the mixer or in is in the inspector so you could see see it

Hey guys. Any chance one of you could do an old school / API / Shadow Hills type graphical feel? Instead of the modern thing? I'm thinking it would be cool to have that look.

 

Thanks for any help!

Anyone know is it safe use L8 Custom UI files with L9.02 ?.

yeah its safe, i do it all the time

yeah its safe, i do it all the time

 

Thanks!. Here we go!.

Gonna throw my hat into the ring here. I've been doing a number of mods for DP for a while, and just started exploring Logic for various jobs. I've always dug the sound when you get a lot of instruments going. This is the start of my GUI mod journey in Logic...

I really like the inner shadow on this! Fader knobs are exceptional!

 

!

Any chance you could post a link, loving your choices of color.

Hey, why stop at the mixer..?

 

It's much more fun modding *plugins*...

That's very cool looking

Here's another one. Just basic changes here... just wanted some subtle color changes here and there.

 

I really wish I knew how to change the teal color behind the panners. Anyone?

Some of these colours are determined programatically in the code, therefore they can't be changed by editing graphics.

 

There's not really much you can do with these, if it's the case.

 

What you should do is hunt through the resources and look for an image which could be what you want, and try a test edit to see if it affects what you want. There are a few potential ones that could be what you want...

 

I think someone else earlier in the thread said they had found the pan knob colour ring in the graphics, so take a look...

Yea, I looked everywhere in the graphics and only found one thing that was teal.. and that wasn't it.

 

Oh well

 

thanks!

ampguimods,

 

looks very nice.

A general question on GUI mods; could modding the GUI in Logic possibly have any effect on its stability or performance?

Does such a GUI take longer to redraw etc.?

 

I would really like to have the level numbers in each channel strip, but can not afford any risks to Logic's operating functions.

 

Thanks

It's a valid question, and was always a concern on systems of the past. The graphics processing on these new machines is so ridiculouss these days that redrawing stationary numbers and non morphing-colors is nothing. Literally nothing. Your computer wouldn't even notice if every number was a different colorl The operating system itself is much harder on graphics processing than any DAW interface.

 

All that to say, you can have no fear. Swapping out some graphics files won't affect your performance at all.

Here's another one I was playing around with tonight.

 

Download is at the bottom of the page

L9GUI2.zip

The one modification to L9's interface that I've been trying to find is the highlight color of whichever frame is currently in focus.

 

Each section, be it the mixer, the piano roll, arrange, etc each get a white border around them when they are the currently operating frame. I've been digging through Logic's resource folders but to no avail. Does anyone know how to change it?

 

I'm trying to make it a more dramatic color as I find it to be not dramatic enough of a difference for me to notice whichever section is currently active.

Here is a small update. Silver meters and new faders. Rounds out the look, I think.

L9GUI2.1.zip

Hey all. Amplidood here. Sorry it took me so long to get back here and let you know where to get the files. Over the holidays I put together a little site for all my mod work. Head on over and check it out!

 

I really, really liked the look of this, so I just downloaded it and it looks even better in action! The level meter LED's are so much nicer to look at, excellent job!

 

My only grumble would be that the lovely .1db increments that have finally appeared in 9.02's faders are not in your GUI mod How hard would it be for me, someone who has zero graphics knowledge or experience, to fix this issue?

 

edit: only seems to be instrument channels and random audio/bus channels that suffer from the .2db increment changes. I can live with that

Here is another version with new switches, corrected db markings, EQ bays, effect send and panner knobs, slightly changed meters for a little more info while viewing and a few other subtle things. I've also included a GUI Mod bundle with some different switches and meters and other goodies. Enjoy!
