can i change the skin in logic pro from grey?

when i'm using ableton's live programme i can change the skin to whatever colour scheme i want, not a big deal really it's just that when i'm spending alot of hours at a time working on a track i like the arrange window to be black (easier for me to look at for long periods of time).

does anyone know if this is possible with logic pro or do i have to stick with grey?

macbook, Mac OS X (10.4)

Yes, you can change the arrange background colour in the prefs.

It was meant to be funny... 😐

This is my usual color (and a window to scare novice users...)

...well, almost completely overplayed. 😉
It is Rob Papens' Blue . Just got it, and new things need to be messed around with. So far, I love it. But I'll probably delete 95 % of it later. Or all of it...
But it is a good screen to scare of people looking for a quick fix: "first, make this..."

Top production tip - a song is always made better with more automation.

If not sure, pick some mixer or plugin parameters that are completely unused in your song, and will have no effect when automated. Write automation for these parameters throughout the song. Make sure the automation lanes are visble so you can see them.

Now play the song back.

See? Guarantee* it now sounds better than before...
