Default HELP need White tie Mod Vintage Blue desk

Hi
I am a really Huge fan of the original House of White Tie Imperial theme.
Its near perfect, but not quite perfect for me. I don't know how to write the code to modify it, I'd like to find someone to work together with to make a modification of it that will benefit a lot of users in the Reaper community.

First off I have a Tascam US 2400 controller... which gives me 24 faders plus one master fader - but even if you are using a mouse - still good to have 24 tracks up onscreen without scrolling! http://forum.cockos.com/attachment.p...1&d=1404170249

I think most hardware analog desks/consoles would be a minimum of 24 tracks. But with the standard imperial theme I get only 19 tracks onscreen(20 with master hidden) and the strips are REALLY wide - wider than they need to be! or when used in 'yellow' mode I can get 24 tracks but they very thin and only take up 1/2 of my screen. My screen is 1920 x 1080 - pretty standard.
Here's two pics of how the standard Imperial looks on my screen in both modes

I have done a mockup in photoshop of how i'd like the Theme to look so I can have 24 tracks onscreen (with a thinner master hidden) all the components i used were from the original Imperial release - all I did was make each track strip a bit narrower, put in a bigger mute/cut button and made the blue more of a vintage british Blue, Plus i used the small transport and put the buttons under the master channel - heres pics of the overall 24 track look and comparisons with the original channel strip width and the narrow one. I'd like someone to work with me on Making this HAPPEN!- NOTE these are just JPEGS I've put together... not a theme ....not yet

I also have ideas for a slimmer master - but with a long meter and a fader and also for a nice 'tracking strip' with a long meter that would fit in the mixer without looking out of place, I've run out of allocation of images (will put in next post)
I know white Tie were making a theme that nodded to a famous british console, and i think that rocks
Hope someone can help make it 24 track onscreen!

That would be very useful for me too.
Mind you I seem to be locked into Alberts X--Pro Gold theme at present.....

Default Vintage Console mod Tracking strip and Master

This is what the tracking strip (in context of the mixer) and the master strip would look like

Since my 19" display is on the way out I thought about a 23" with 1920x1280 would work well with my White Tie theme. What is the blue fader theme resolution originally made for? With my 19 I only get around 8 tracks plus the master. So will I get more tracks in on the 23"?
