Now I’ll tell you how to get yours looking like the screens above.
First I want to make absolutely clear that these plugins are not mine. I’ve modified them to look and act as I desire.
What I did was mod:
1 – ExpensiveHi-Fi skin- changed text and cursors back to default (from purple/animated to green/standard).
Also, “The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and…” 😉
2 – Stereo Analog VU Meter – Modded look by photoshopping it to look like ExpensiveHi-Fi.

DO NOT configure while music is playing. This causes crashes on my box.
The little thing labled DFX is DFX Audio Enhancer with ExpensiveHiFiSony skin. It will not remember its position. I wrote their tech support about it and they blew me off.
