New Theme for Audacity 1.3.3 Beta for Linux

Audacity is a great (D.A.W.) Digital Audio Workstation! It’s simple to use and has lots of great tools and effects but, Audacity’s (UI) User Interface has always been a tad ruff on the eyes. It’s hard to believe such a great application could be so ugly. Fortunately the newest version of Audacity (1.3.3 Beta) now can be themed. I created this new theme using the KDE Oxygen icon theme. All of the this theme is completely GPL friendly!

To install this theme download this PNG image “click here” and save it in “/home/user-name/.audacity-data/Theme” Then open up Audacity and go to Edit> Preferences> Themes. Click the load theme Cache button and check the “load theme at start up” check mark box. Restart Audacity and enjoy the new look.

This is incredible! Have you sent this to the developers at Audacity? The improvement is night and day! Thank you!

Also, I think ImageShack messed with your file name. The file must be named ImageCache.png (case sensitive) for this to work. The image you link to is named imagecachehz0.png
