Your theme is amazing mae5tr0, would make me love reaper even more (and Ive never used any custom theme, although i tried many, always ended up using default).

Yeah me too.... not a big fan of dark screens. Cubase 7 is ridiculous. I absolutely love Reason 7.

Somebody do a Reason 7 theme for Reaper. That would be awesome for me since I use both. LOL.

Default A different approach

I was thinking (a dangerous thing, I know) that we discuss the components in Walter that could be
developed in Reaper V5 to allow theme developers more control over what and where theme elements can be placed.

A short list might start with:

MCP Extmixer
- ability to separate FX,Parms,Sends
- specify the size of slots in each FX,Parms,Sends
- variable to default FX,Parms,Sends On/Off

That is what the most recent version of Totalmix FX looks like.
Not sure why this was chosen as an example, as a DAW it AINT.
My take is that a look like that would wind up way too cluttered once you had waveforms, etc in the mix.

It's about time to go Vector, don't you think?

Please, it is 2015. 4k and even 8k resolutions are on the front door.

have the devs said anything about the possibility of a vector based UI? as you say adXok, its pretty important given the available resolutions these days, it would be nice to know if this is in the works

????? Just look at a bunch of the major software productivity titles and tell me how many of them ARE vector based.

Obviously I would imagine a lot of the video editing and illustration/art ones are, of course.

Vector is the way to go indeed. Can't agree more. One of the most beautiful GUI DAW that I love so much now is FL STUDIO http://www.imageline.com/flstudio/

Man I simply love that GUI, the only thing I'm still hoping is that they will one day listen to users, just like Reason from Propellerhead have listened to be able to directly record audio tracks in their DAW. You can record audio in FL but there's this many steps to take that for me coming from DAWS like Reaper/Studio One etc.. is a pain.. just want it straight forward...

But yes Vector is the way to go, everything becomes resizable, more flexible, magnetic windows & much more ;-)

Vector would be awesome, but would probably require a pretty hefty redesign of Reaper's graphics code. That's a lot of time/effort/money for something that has nothing to do with making music.

a lot of gui elements are drawn using coordinates. that's basically what vector is. when people make their gui elements in inkscape or knobman, those programs are using vector graphics while the design of that element is being made. so i guess SVG isn't necessary. even html uses basic vector boundaries in order to draw a DIV. it's everywhere. i think reaper can safely ditch the bitmaps and still be great.

Vector GUI's might be the way of the future, but anything that makes it more difficult for people to create alternatives to REAPER's awful default themes would be a change for the worse IMO :/

True. I used to do a lot of skinning in the past but I had one look at walter and thought... no way. I'm not touching that.

Maybe something along the lines of Blackbox themes would be cool though.

I dont think that vector-graphics would make things more difficult. maybe the opposite. these yellow-lines-thing is as far as I would interpret that an attempt, to make bitmaps to some degree behaving like vector-graphics.

should be easier to stretch graphics.

but I agree with WALTER being a bit complicated. I had a look into that and understood nothing. nearly nothing. I had thought that would be something along the lines of twitter bootstrap / CSS / HTML5 with something like Javascript for the functions. was I way off ... I diodnt get the logic behind that all. function and design is not divided, and I guess that that is it, what makes it confusing. at least I was nothing but confused. tried a real simple thing and that didnt work out at all. after 2 hours I gave up. can be its me ... I guess. probably its me. but I wont touch that anymore, unless someone copuld explain to me the real logic behind it.

If no vector, can the bitmaps be simply rendered bigger?

For example, a theme for 4k monitors would have a theme with rendered elements 4 times bigger with more detail than a theme geared towards 1080p screens.

Yes the bitmaps can simply be bigger. Also, some themes have been made using the "UI Scaling" experimental feature within REAPER. You can try 4x, but it breaks some themes.

The problem is mostly due to OS-dependent elements. You can scale those too (Windows to 150%, for example) but obviously that can also be limiting.

Default How to Make .theme file ? ?????????????

Hi
Hey everyone seems to know how to tweak and build themes

I can NOT work out how to archive or create a .theme file (the t-shirt icon)
Y'know - I did it today - successfully using 7-zip and tried to write down what I thought i'd done - but I just can't repeat it spent 5 hours trying to do it again! going crazy!!!!!!!!!!!

I just want to make some subtle tweaks to the original White Tie Imperial

I'm fine doing the artwork - just can't make it into a theme

PLEASE - P L E A S E ........... treat me lie a complete idiot !!!!!!!!!!!!!

If anyone can explain how to do this in very clear basic step by step terms - I'd be very appreciative and will share my Theme mod in the Stash

I have scoured the Forum and Internet trying to find how to do this
Its like some kind of Free-mason secret tricK?

I want in!!!!!!!!!!!!

From start:

You have WT_Imperial.ReaperThemeZip - file.
You rename it to WT_Imperial.Zip and then unzip it.
You get file called WT_Imperial.Theme and folder called WT_Imperial.
In the folder you have all the pngs you can edit and rtconfig.txt, where is the code.
After you have done the changes you zip these two files to WT_Imperial.zip .
Then You just rename it to WT_Imperial.ReaperThemeZip .
