Topic: Pioneer cdj 3000 screens
hi all
Is there a Pioneer CDJ-3000 screen skin that mimics the Pioneer CDJ-3000 menu and screens
As I've heard that we can edit the skin to make the Denon SC6000 show the same Pioneer menu and screens

No, there's not such a skin available here, nor it will ever be.

Some things to mention:
1) Skins in general are prohibited from copying existing hardware gear and/or competitor software GUI.
Any skin submited to these forums that looks like a piece of gear or another software gets automatically rejected.
2) When it comes to controllers with screens, some of them can use a skin to show graphics on screen, most of them don't. Pioneer / AlphaTheta gear does not support skins for their screens with the only exception of DDJ-RZX. All other Pioneer gear uses predefined layouts.
3) For controllers that their screen is "skinable" VirtualDJ provides ONE official skin. It does not provide, nor accepts to hold any third party user skins for the screen of a controller.
4)Skins that resemble existing hardware and/or other software do exist outside these forums. However they have not been reviewed/tested by VirtualDJ team, and therefore you download and use them at your own risk for viruses, instability issues and/or bugs.

Now, with all that being said, I cannot understand why a guy with a Denon controller would like his screen to look like a Pioneer unit..
I mean, yes users can skin the controllers screens that are skinable if they like. Yes, they can like a particular layout or feature of a different piece of gear.
But that's different from asking a "copy" of the CDJ3000 screen to run on a Denon unit.. I fail to see the reason..




These are screenshots of a new skin I'm making.
It's inspired by various controller screens I have seen and used over the years.
It feels like Pioneer (after all it is inspired by a lot of Pioneer gear) but it's not a copy of any..
And it has the features I (as the person creating it) thinks are useful to have. Not the features a manufacturer of a stand alone unit decided they were worthy to be added on their screen 6/7 years ago..
 

The reason is that i saw on youtube someone hacked the denon screens and installed the pioneer screens UI into it. It's just experimental for me not more. And the skin you're working on looks nice i whould like to have a copy once released for sure to try it.
 

The "someone" is Steve Stone from The DJ Lab. That's an entire operating system though, not just a skin.

If you just want to skin your SC6000 (when used with VDJ) then it's possible with a little research. You could even hire someone here to make one for you.
