I am not even near to a beginner level with editing\creating themes.

And it looks that WALTER could be much more optimised and simplified.

It is pretty much quite disappointing and a waste of nice looking themes if they are not suited to correct representation of audio data (metering and connections).

I think button states and backgrounds for theme elements should be based on the corresponding Options (right-click) for that specific button or element of the theme (interface). 3 or 4 maybe 5 states but that should be the most important thing.

A good example could become the 'Rec arm' button (Rec audio, Rec MIDI, Rec output), the track as a Folder, as a Last in a Folder, normal track.

Next would be the arrangements for the different layouts.

Imagine test-driving a nice polished fancy car but the speed-meter or the fuel consumption meter showing incorrect values because the designers forgot to implement the meter scale or the button symbols. Not a very useful car.

Maybe I am over-simplifying it but that is just my lame opinion.
