Change appearance of FX parameter list?

[Dehenry]

When you click on the Track Envelopes/Automation button of a track where several more complex FX are inserted, a huge parameter list shows up that I find quite confusing. The parameters are not organized as a single column list, but in several columns. That makes sense to make best use of the screen estate, but there is no clear graphical separation of these columns like a vertical separator line to structure the list more clearly and provide better orientation. And if you hover over the parameter lines, it would be nice to have a highlight that is visible more clearly than the faint light grey we have now. I found out how to change the background color of the whole window, but that doesn't solve the problem. Is something like this doable? I guess the separator lines could be difficult to implement (for users, I mean), but a different color for the hovering highlight would already help a lot:

Just seeing that list, instantly an idea came to mind, borrowed from a program I am used to.

In said program, you could load a list of folders within one particular folder, each folder containing images, for texturing maps in video games.

If you named each folder something like map1_ground, map1_walls, map1_misc, the program would automatically make a tree of 'map1'.

Just seems Reaper could be doing this to simplify situations like this. I see this all the time for synthesizers, it's a pretty logical naming scheme. Same with EQ. Something like 'band 1 Q', 'band 1 gain' etc etc is extremely common.

Yes-can be daunting with huge lists-so cockos put a search filter there-try that.
Highlight option there as well-filter parameters.
There is a way to organise- filter params>click little `ui` box in order of preference>controls appear in tcpanel in clicked order>save as template.
The actual theme and track layout will affect what is seen.
Same with window bg colour schemes>change your's with the theme tweaker,because it is gridded with colour changes,and selections are font tinted.
Search for `window` elements in the theamer.
