Entropy v. 1.0 (Not my theme)

UPDATE: New version available: http://lmms.sourceforge.net/lsp/index.php?action=show&file=4605

I want to give a shout out to the theme Entropy v. 1.0 by Vesa V (diiz). Go to the download site by clicking on the image.

I think it is the best theme for LMMS so far. It is really well made. All the icons seems to be made from scratch and it all fits very well together. It is clear that a lot of work has gone into making this theme. Although it is the best theme, it can be easily improved on some points. I admit that this is the first theme I will give constructive criticism to, but only because it is the first theme I actually think can turn out better than the default one.
- The text size is too small, even smaller than the default theme. It doesn't save so much space for small screens, and for large screens it is nearly impossible to read.
- The blue numbers are too dark (bpm-number)
- The Beat&Bassline editor pattern field is too dark. There is really hard to differ the light grey patterns from the dark grey.
- Hard to understand when the the loop-point-button and the auto-scrolling button is on.
- The blue level lights in the FX-mixer have too narrow space. It feels like less width than the default theme. Watching the levels is crucial, and the FX-mixer window cannot get any larger, so we need to have nice and broad level lights.
- The icons could be left unchanged, just thought I would mention that i don't think the save button look as a floppy disk at all. That is a world standard. The icon now is after my opinion too complex.
