Image Line's FL Studio software can turn your computer into a virtual music workstation, with its sequencer, synth machines and limitless amount of audio tracks. But after spending hours staring at FL Studio's piano roll, sequencers and plug-ins, a little eye candy can refresh your eyes and rekindle your creativity. And by installing a new skin and background for FL Studio and its components, you can give the program a whole new look and feel.
Step 1
Download your FL Studio skins from an FL Studio customization site, like Trance Pulse or FL Studio Samples. Extract the skins from their ZIP containers. Right-click on a skin file and then select the "Extract All" option from the pop-up menu that appears. Click "Extract" in the next menu.
