Shape your workspace.

The Pro Tools look in a Logic world.

The idea

Mix in Logic. See Pro Tools.

Plenty of engineers learned on Pro Tools and still think in its colors and layout. DawForma is an appearance tool that gives Logic Pro the Pro Tools look, applied live while Logic is running.

How it works

Set it once. Then forget it.

  1. Install once

    Quit Logic, open DAWFORMA and click Install / Update Integration. You only do this once.

  2. Pick your look

    Choose a theme like Pro Tools Classic and click Apply Live Theme.

  3. Quit DAWFORMA

    Your theme stays active in Logic, even after a restart. No need to open the app again unless you want to change your look.

Super lightweight

Almost zero footprint. The integration runs inside Logic itself: no app running in the background, no polling timer, and a 2.3 MB download.

In Logic

The DawForma app, in development.

Track colors

Live themes
Choose a theme such as Pro Tools Classic and apply it while Logic is running. Save and import your own themes. Restore Logic puts the original look back.
Matching track colors
Headers and mixer strips follow the track hue. Edit lanes use a subtle tint.
Pro Tools track palette
Select tracks in Logic, then choose a swatch. 23 colors × light, medium and dark.

Appearance

Panel appearance
Follow System, Light or Dark. The inspector, transport and empty edit lanes follow this choice. Counter displays stay dark.
Inserts and sends
Shade the insert area, and set its brightness and height.
Control blue
Pick the blue used for controls.
Classic touches
Classic menus and buttons. Separate transport displays.
Simple setup
Install or remove the integration from the app. Setup keeps your settings and installs the add-on in your user Library.

Compatibility

One download. Intel or Apple silicon.

DawForma is a universal app. Everyone downloads the same file, and macOS runs the right code for your Mac automatically. Your Logic version matters as much as your chip.
