New names for new skins (Deree and LateNight) #7710

We should find new names for the LateNigt and Deree skins, since they do not match its ancestors in any point. This would allow contributors to revamp or tweak the original designs for Mixxx 1.12

You got some names?

I think that is the honor of the one who is giving birth.

Change just for the sake of change? Me think, users know latenight as parallel waveform skin, deere as split waveform skin. But if consent is that changing names is beneficial, go ahead.

The argument of contributors being able to change the skins if we change the names is not strong, since the source files form both skins are already available since a long time. Unlikely someone will magically show up, just in time.

I'd prefer to keep the names as they are. They are new versions building on the older styles. (LateNight still uses many of the same artwork files for instance)

+1 to keep the old names.

Yea, hopefully we can replace those with vector art (for example the knobs are still 64-images). Jus -- are the originals in vector and still around?

The original file format is Fireworks png. https://github.com/esbrandt/mixxx-skins Fireworks can output to svg, if some extensions are installed. I never tried that, and can`t say if it looks as with the original bitmap image.

Unfortunately is Fireworks abandoned by Adobe.
