What Theme Do You Use The Most and Why?
I use RADA V4 the most
Mostly cause it's easy to navigate and use. Not hard on the eyes for long days in the studio.
Anyone else?

I use Default Analog V1.8 by lerian. https://stash.reaper.fm/theme/963/Def...0Analog%20v1.8
It's the default theme with new colors and a few other tweaks, I think. Looks great, works great!

I use JanneUniverse2014 on my PC and notebook: http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=139704
It's as easy on the eyes as Albert's ProTools theme but so much more flexible. You can use it on a single 13" monitor or on two FullHD 27" monitors and it's still a nice design.
I would really vote for Janne to be the designer of Reaper 5 mostly because of his design doesn't want to emulate any hardware but uses the benefits of "digital design".

I've been using Reaborn 2 by Nick Moritz for over a year now.
http://www.radorec.com/-themes/27-reaborn-2-theme
I think it is the most functional and attractive theme available for REAPER.
Prior to that I used RADO-VOX by vStyler (a variation on another Nick Moritz theme) for a couple of years.
Unfortunately, both of these super talented designers appear to have moved on.
I personally don't care for themes that try to approximate the look of hardware. I don't care for the default theme either, I actually prefered the one from v3.x.

Probably Reaction. Just a very professional and attractive design to me. Very clear and works just as well on small and large screens.

That's kinda cool : every one has its own theme, and they all rocks :P
That's exactly the Reaper philosophy

I did a search but couldn't find it. Could you post a working link? I think the original link isn't valid.

Reaborn 2 with Circus Toolbar Icons.
2 modes, 1 for editing and arranging,
another for live monitoring during perfomances.
The mixer GUI is perfect for my needs where editing
and arranging with fast access to toolbar icons
speeds things up free from drop down menus,
then big meters.
Circus Theme developer has incredible icons and tricks
for the lighting crews and other stagehands to monitor
as the scroll views and inserted png.'s are large and
very distinguishable on dark stages.
In a mere second I can click an Icon to the left for a new layout,
then click toolbar 1 and 2 buttons giving me the monitoring view
since I'm busy playing keys and using realtime pedals for filter sweeps,
drawbars, and footswitches for sampler articulations.

Hey Hopi, thanks again for these awesome tools and in your face GFX.
Do you happen to have any Groove Tool Icons you use that are shareware.?
I still use the matsuri icons (x 4) and they are dulled out in Reaborn2, but I still know their functions and can see them at certain angles.

I like the Vixie Plain one that was available for Reaper 3. Since then I tried many themes but every single one has some issues. So I always come back to the default theme. It's not the prettiest, but it at least works.

I've been using Imperial theme now for a while and I Really like it!
However, how do I create folders in it?
I found this vid on line but it's not in English.

Been using the ProTools X by AlbertX for a while now. It's still got some tiny things that he's working out, but it's clean and even though I only spent a little bit of time with ProTools out of necessity it does feel familiar.

Default Analog 1.8. Hoping that lerian will eventually finish version 2 and that he didn't jump off a bridge or something. :-(

What theme do I use the most? Mine (link in my signature). Why? Because I created it first and foremost for my own workflow and I spent a ton of time working on it and fine tuning it to my needs.
If I never got into themeing and never learned WALTER, I'd be using White Tie's Imperial. Mighty fine work there!

I don't know but I saw this version mentioned somewhere:
https://stash.reaper.fm/theme/1355/Fo...ReaperThemeZip
It has a more traditional folder representation than Imperial.

I think the default theme is fab.
Was itching to try the EMI TG theme somebody started, but it never materialized.
Have used the StarTrek style theme in a few videos!

i tried out some of the more successful stash themes, but i always come back to the current reaper default. It's not over-flashy nor distracting and the colors are dark enough to be relaxing, yet vivid and contrasting enough to be functional and visible. Other people's exotic aesthetics rarely make the cut for long term use. Props to Cockos for getting it right. Other than that, i did some layout customizations i learned about on tutorials for reaper (videos).

I tried many different themes, but always came back to default.
In fact, as I usually work on a 15' laptop, I don't have many choices.
If I had a larger screen, I'll maybe use one of cincikat69 or Albert's theme...

I mostly work on a laptop, and IMHO, Witti's apollo 4 is THE theme for laptops.
it just matches my brainwaves perfectly *)
