Made for niivu’s Windows 10 Dark ArcX theme.This will only work on Live 10, there is no backwards compatability with Live 9 for themes due to changes made in Live 10.
This theme was built from the ground up to fit in with the colour palette of ArcX. It’s been through a couple of revisions, and I think I’ve gotten it to a stage of good readability coupled with a nice aesthetic. Anyone else who has tried skinning Ableton knows how much of a nightmare it is.
Installation:
- Download the .ask file and place it in your “Live 10 Path”\Resources\Themes.
This – by default – is located at C:\ProgramData\Ableton\Live 10\Resources\Themes - Load up Ableton and go to Options > Preferences > Look/Feel > Theme > ArcX
If anyone has any suggestions or requests or notices anything out of the ordinary please do let me know. Ableton is a fiddly beast to skin so there are entirely possiblities that some random page on a certain audio effect could be nigh unreadable. I may in future make a version where the clip/track colours compliment the altered grey colour palette of ArcX, however they can’t be skinned directly and only affected by the hue shift in the look/feel menu. I need a way I can hue shift all the current colours back the relevant amount so I can hue shift everything forwards overall to keep the colours matching. If any programmers familiar with the XML standard of Live 10s themes could write me a script for that it’d be much apprecitated.
