Created by Loopshape for the Linux-Multimedia-Studio music application!

This image shows the music-sequencer “Linux-Multimedia-Studio” (=LMMS) interface, that’s skinned with the WELLENWERT-THEME!

HI FOLKS!!! My name is “LOOPSHAPE” and I’ve created a dark but colorful theme, that was build to skin up the Linux-Multimedia-Studio (=LMMS)

You can download this music-sequencer from the //LMMS.io website as an OpenSource project for >>> FREE <<< ! Just visit the LMMS website and click onto the download-section to get this application, that runs on all common operation-systems like: Windows+OSX+Linux!

There’re plenty of build-in sound-effects available from out-of-the-box to start right now and the GUI (=user interface) has got an intuitive controlling, that’s easy to learn.

I think, that all musicians are loving flashin’ colors and heavy effects while producing their beats and tunes, while doing a performance as a DJ, song-composer or producer by creating powerful digital-sounds on the computer. So I’ve decided to begin my customization for this music application to have a nice and “never-get-boring” theme that contains a rich and strong color-palette, combined with some nice visual effects, to use that sequencer in clubs and other locations (there even is much lightning around)…

…so I was starting to adapt (=taking a finished theme from an other author) some favorite “dark” themes and began to modify all icons from it with the free image-editor G!MP (that’s also OpenSource). The overall main target was to create a rich colored and beautiful arranged palette of elements that shouldn’t get boring as a scheme that’s used as a skin for the LMMS application, because the original interface was build with an almost grey-tone appearance, that doesn’t really satisfy all the needs of having a deep “psychedelic” visual-experience when setting up the sounds.

Now, after some days of looking into the structure of the icon-setup and all their predefined usages and positions, i was able to recolor each icon for a better intuitive handling and gave them a psychedelic and glowing “touch” of all possible colors, that could be combined together so far…

I really hope, you’ll like my redefinition of this colorful LMMS interface and you would like to use that theme for your own, to have a good overview of all given knobs, faders, displays and other elements for control the application. Maybe you’ll be more inspired while creating a tune for your own purposes, when you work with that scheme?

I almost saw some hardware-instruments, that were created by the industry, equipped with a colorful environment for the use on liveacts and deejay-sessions, so my conclusion was the fact, that all LMMS-Fans out there should also have such a nice GUI, that shouldn’t be hidden when played in the club… hehe!

Now have fun and enjoy your music-production with this “crazy” theme!
