"Descend" Skin for Ascension

Be warned! The Arpeggiator on this thing is looking horrible!

Normally I wouldn't even put this online anywhere, but I think it should be addressed somewhere.
With the update to v1.6 "Cubic Audio" made it possible to use and create custom skins for Ascension, which is a nice thing in the first place. There's even a little "skin competition" going on (ends November 1st, 2024). Sounds fun, right?

BUT: as soon as you start working on it you'll be running into problems. Most prominent and (unfortunately) eye-catching issue surely is the fact that the main components of the Arpeggiator can't be modified in any way.
Besides that there's also quite a number of other problems. Doesn't make much sense to go into detail here, but for example certain colors aren't working, and the entire setup of the knobs is a bloody mess.
Or as a bug example, try setting the GUI size to 150%, open the Arp and watch what happens on the Master section (demonstrated below with the factory "Dark" skin).

I've reported most of those issues to the Cubic Audio support, received friendly, polite responses and I appreciate that. But that's not the point here. The point would be to actually do something about it. I've sent the first E-Mail exactly four weeks ago (on September 19, 2024) and absolutely nothing has been done since.
And what's worse to me is the fact they are even starting a "competition" with a half-baked and buggy GUI like this one as the foundation. It's like having a championship in a broken game.
Furthermore, if they are ever going to fix things it might be the case that submitted skins aren't compatible anymore and end up in the recycle bin (or at least require to be reworked).

Overall it is leaving the strong impression this is really just a marketing gag by Cubic Audio, to draw a bit of attention. Without caring about the actual event at all.

And by the way, I'm going to submit this skin regardless, just for the sake of it. But I am NOT participating in any "competition". There's no sense in competing in a broken game.
