It's as disgusting as the other GUI, it's a toy design, you won't see
any professional audio gear that does look like this. There's a lot of
black gear, but it has got contrast and since real gear isn't virtually,
you can feel the knobs with your fingers, you can take a look from
another visual angle, so even black on black could be ok for real gear.
It can't harm to spend 2 or 3 hours to learn the basics of functional
design. „Form follows function“
Good reading: "The Design of Every Day Things".
My Yamaha PSR keyboard has stenciled labels on medium gray metal. They
use 2 different colors: black, and a light yellow. The light yellow is
almost invisible against the gray. So more than 2-3 hours of learning on
the part of Yamaha doesn't always enable them to hit the ball out of the
park all the time. Fortunately, software is much more malleable!

Looks nice. Is the screen fully resizable, font size customizable,
etc?
