Hi everyone,
Just wanted to share a little project I’ve been working on: Renoise Theme Share (renoisethemes.com)
It’s a web app that will let you:
- Browse community-made color themes (.xrnc files)
- See accurate previews of how they look in Renoise (Pattern Editor for now, Mixer & Waveform coming soon)
- Download themes with one click
- Like, comment, and follow other creators
- Create your own themes using an interactive color palette generator (Still polishing this feat)
The previews will work by analyzing the actual .xrnc files and rendering them using pixel maps - so you’ll see exactly how the theme would look in Renoise, without needing to install anything.
You can check out the coming soon page now at: renoisethemes.com
Stay tuned for the full launch with theme browsing and creation features!
Currently in final testing, but would love to get some feedback from the community! The site will feature both light and dark themes, tag-based filtering, and a creator tool with preset color schemes (monochrome, complementary, triadic, etc.)
If you’re interested in taking a look at the coming soon page or have ideas for features, let me know and I can share access. Would be great to hear what you think!
Keep tracking!

- Previews generated using pixel maps generated by iteration of the 70 colors a renoise themes has.
- Responsive design works on mobile & desktop
- Secure authentication with bcrypt & session management
