Custom SOL2 Theme Elements
To use these theme elements in your SOL2 software, you will need to use resource modifier software. Do so at your own risk, and always make a backup of the original file, before modifying!
Neocities does not allow the original format of the images, so you will have to convert these .png's to the formats specified.
Not many image editors can correctly save .cur, even when they say .cur is supported. NeoPaint/PixelNeo is reccomended for converting to valid .cur.
On the .png's of cursors here, the purple represents the transparent part.
SOL2, as it's name (Sequencer Object Linking) implies, is made up of the main program (y_SOL.exe), and various .dll's for the various components ('objects') of the program (transport, mixer, etc). The main .exe, and each .dll, all have their own graphic assets. The images here are organized according to which file they must be modded into.
The goal of these modifications is to polish up a few scruffy parts, and sometimes to make certain elements a bit easier to see, while keeping the retro flavor of the original. All of these are works in progress.
Note: these might look blurry/crappy when viewed in a browser, but are sharp/crisp when saved.
