Topic: Skin for bright light...

A couple of times a year I do an outdoor daylight gig for various causes. In most situations I love the darker color scheme of most of the skins for VDJ, but in bright sunlight the black backgrounds make it difficult to see the screen. Especially with the shiny LCD my current laptop has. Is there a skin available that would look better under these conditions? Is there an easy way to change an existing skin with out creating a completely new one? Is there something I can place over my screen to reduce the reflections under these lighting conditions?

Thanks for any suggestions

Wow! Thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for! I'm really looking forward to these gigs now. In the past, I've worked under a blanket for awhile and eventually just gave up and used an iPod. This should make it much easier. I'm sorry I didn't think to look before I posted but you guys knew exactly what I was looking for and where to find it, so, again, thank you!

Back again after a year. Just getting ready to try out the skin in daylight. Fingers crossed. I am having a problem though. I can't seem to find the audio mixer screen. I know it's right under my nose, but I've looked in the drop down menu and see something that should do it but it doesn't. A little guidance for an idiot if you please! Thanks!

Nevermind I found it. Completely by accident but I found it. What a dolt...

I just wanted to thank djdad for the outdoor/brightlight skin. Working bright sunlight all day and although there was considerable glare from the screen itself, the skin made it possible to use the software. In years past it was so bad that just ended up using an ipod to get throught the day. Thanks again! Highly recommended!
