right. you might even be able to come up with your own theme since one can learn a lot here.

I have it,
as far as i see the themes are in XML format.
Is there a list of the properties in the program that i can set ?!

Can someone here summarize how to install these new themes ? Where to put file exactly. I would like to install the XD - Simplon theme from Strobo. Thanks!

There's a Themes folder in your program files\buzz directory, just unpack the themes into there. They'll show up in buzz next time it opens.

It's in xaml and uses the wpf interface, so you can find out about most of it online. The properties are on the standard wpf controls, but I think looking at all the various themes on buzzmachines will give you a lot of them. There's also the svn repository that's linked from the main jeskola.net page, which you might need later.

there is a lag in the quicknewmachineview.
dunno why yet. has something to do with the new controls.xaml.

The wavetable editor isn't working. Other than that, it looks very pretty, and I'd happily use it if the editor worked. Nice work.

I recommend removing the wavetable line from theme.xml until it's fixed. I did the same to the dark theme.
