Light, Dark, or System
DMC60 ships in dark by default, but the whole interface can switch to a warm light theme — or follow your operating system automatically. The hardware-inspired look stays intact either way.
Appearance Modes
Set the application appearance from Options → Appearance. The change applies instantly across every panel — no relaunch.
Follows your OS light/dark setting and tracks it live — flip your Mac or Windows theme and DMC60 follows in the same moment.
The classic charcoal chrome every prior build shipped with. The default, and pixel-for-pixel unchanged.
A hand-designed warm-neutral industrial palette. Backgrounds and text both flip; status, LED, and pad identity colors are preserved.
On platforms without OS appearance support, System resolves to Light.
Live Switching
Switching is a single transaction — backgrounds, text, controls, and custom-painted panels all flip together, with no restart and nothing left half-themed. You can change appearance mid-session, even while editing a value.
LCD Display Color
The LCD accent is a separate, independent preference from the light/dark chrome. Run light chrome with an amber LCD, or dark chrome with a green one — any combination works. The LCD itself always stays a dark, illuminated hardware display in both appearances.
Set it under Options → Display Color, just below the Appearance selector.
Contrast & Identity
The light palette is tuned for readability — primary text on the window background lands around 13:1 (AAA), with bright accents darkened so they stay legible on a light surface.
Meaningful colors are preserved across both appearances: LED hues, meters, EQ band colors, waveform markers, per-pad identity, bus tints, and per-pattern palettes. Only the structural chrome — surfaces, text, controls, and dividers — changes with the theme, so your beat always looks like itself.
