Track Mute Shading.
Is it now possible in v5 to get rid of the shading/darkening when you mute a track on the arrange page? I have always found this very distracting having big dark lines across the page.

Nope. One of those lost hopes in Reaper options.

Not enough votes:
"Themeable Mute colours ... for clips, notes, audio waveforms and backgrounds"

so many dark lines across the page is very distracting, recently i've started just pulling down the fader instead of muting...until i'm ready to deal with the relevant track. Seems completely backward for such a forward thinking program! Voted for anyway!

I agree wholeheartedly. With dark backgrounds it sort of works, but with lighter ones it shifts your focus to the muted tracks, exactly what's not supposed to happen. Drawing attention to the MUTED tracks is really backwards. Hopefully this issue will be fixed prior to the v5 release.

Also, I could live without all the stuff in the above FR, if only the actual arrange backgorund for muted tracks was themeable, or possible to be set to same as the unmuted arrange background. Nothing fancy, just that bit would problably be an easy fix and it would make a world of difference.

Would it really be so hard to simply put the grid lines under instead of over the shading? That's the big eyesore for me.
I spend time getting all the colors nice and soft on the eyes and then it's right back to ass whenever I mute a track... Same kinda deal in the inactive portions of the MIDI editor, CC lane and empty arrange. Why do we need grid lines in those areas at all?
Consistency is not Reaper's forte.

Any Reaper Devs out there to comment? I think ramses summed it up well "Drawing attention to the MUTED tracks" is really the opposite of what you want to be doing when you mute something in an arrangement.

You could hide them in the track manager, or set up a macro which both mutes them and hides them. Not ideal, but that's what I tend to do.
Ps. Was wondering when I'd see you on here after I learned you'd started using Reaper

Yes. Dark themes are the only usable ones. Totally agree. Would be good to turn shading off.

This is one of those things our devs are NOT goot at - UX and UI (user experience and user interface).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_experience_design
It's a big thing not only in a marketing world. Reaper would greatly benefit from having someone to watch over its ux design principles and implementations.
