Weird. I don't see this in any themes I tried. Can you investigate a bit deeper?

Needs a discussion thread to dig into it.

I can't reproduce that.
Again, please open a discussion thread where we can investigate. It's of no use to do the digging here as long as it's not clear which setting or theme related thing makes it happen for you.

(would be nice if it came with less exclamation marks btw.)

See this thread:

http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=63415

It is currently impossible to control how the peak background color blends with the assigned custom color, would be really helpful if there was.

@gofer, this is only a problem if you have "Tint media item background to custom track colors" enabled. It's pretty clear from your screenshot that you are only tinting the peaks, in which case the peak colors display as expected. As soon as you enable tinting the background as well though, it starts to blend the peaks with the color set in the theme editor without giving you any control over the blend mode like it does for most other things.

Ah, thanks Adam. I missed that Reflected seems to use "Tint item backgrounds" but with a strength of 0. (Wouldn't then for him the easy way out be to not use tint backgrounds in the first place?)

I propose using the thread you link to ad discussion thread for this issue.

@Reflected: Can you please put that link in the opening post?

thank you adam.

i had the feeling that it has something to do with the item background...

I enable item background only because with my other theme i use item bg..(which is exactly why I think that apearance settings should be included inside themes...)

If I'm not mistaken this is not new and that's the way it's been since 3.0. Actually, I love this blend because I can use a scale of gray and get what I want. As far as I can see this is not a bug but a request for a new behavior, right?
