I’m sure I’m not the only user who will tweak a module if there’s something about the appearance that I think I could improve when it comes to my own personal tastes. In my case, usually just doing basic color tweaks, but I know other people are doing way more involved customizations. I figured it would make for a fun thread to share our custom skins.
I think it goes without saying that these should just be for our own personal use and not meant to be shared (so don’t ask unless the developer is ok with it), nor is this thread meant to be a knock on any developers/designers and their skins. Just meant to showcase some customizations.
Here’s my take on the MSC Hack Mixers. I couldn’t figure out whether I preferred the colors on the Aux channels or not so I kept them for the smaller mixers but eliminated them from the larger ones.

You may not clone the brand name, model name, logo, panel design, or layout of components (knobs, ports, switches, etc) of an existing hardware or software product without permission from its owner, regardless of whether these are covered under trademark/copyright law.
@synthi, I’m personally not qualified for anything more than a recolor job, but @longhaul12 was recently suggesting he may be interested in doing some panel design. He’d be far more qualified than me (with him being a professional designer and all). Maybe you two can connect.
I wouldn’t want to share any resources I didn’t create and just modified without the ok of the developer. So for now, you’d just need to be handy with an svg editor and modify the resources on your own.
Very funny to see it, because I made quite a similar redrawings of mscHacks Mixers several months ago (BTW, I already posted it in another thread earlier).
In addition to panels I also changed a bit knobs. Here is Mix16:
Is this something that ought to be handled in VCV itself? There’s obviously a demand for it and, while plenty of module designers like to supply alternate color schemes and faceplates (like Lindenberg’s “used look”), many more don’t have the time or interest. Why not set it up so the module supplies the hue of components and the relative values of brightness and let the user decide whether they want the whole thing bright or dark?
I don’t have dark version of ML modules, maybe you saw the dark version of VCV Router 4:1.
As for sharing the svg’s, we can only share svg files that are allowed to be shared by their original creators.
