Default Q: colour for audio clip cues

Some audio clips have cues embedded in them - does anyone know how I can change the colour so that they can be seen?

Here is the same clip in the Default and RADO_VOX (modified) themes



I've looked through the Theme Editor but cannot find the right item.

Try Media item stretch marker line, it's the same colour and may be tied to this

I wonder why (how) it is a different colour in those two themes (no, it is not related to the item colour).

Cues and regions inside a wavefile use the colors of markers and regions settings in prefs theme editor.

EDIT: Sorry Fergler, just now saw you wrote that already.

Thank you - the cues in my example used the "Regions" colour - I must have missed that before.

RADO-VOX (modified):


Default:


For information:
-- cues etc in audio clips use the "Regions" colour
-- markers etc in MIDI clips use the "Markers" colour.

The problem is that the Region and Marker colours are chosen to be distinctive on a dark background but the clips colours are often light. You can do some colour juggling of the lane backgrounds and text colours but that should not be necessary.

This is good to know, and I agree there should be more dedicated entries to control theme elements, for colour as in this case but also font size etc.

I voted.

I'd also like to ask you, since you've had a look at this area, if you know which entry controls the colour of the marker and region outlines? I ask this because this outline colour also controls the font colour of the markers and regions in the midi editor, rather than the font colour entry as one would expect.

I apologize for the tangent, but I thought since we're all here...


Edit: nevermind, it was the timeline foreground colour setting.

It would be good to compile all these odds and ends into some sort of reference.
