So there is an option to allow tinting the peaks and item backgrounds separately, if you're comfortable editing an rtconfig. Near the top of the rtconfig, these lines appear:


tinttcp 1962
; "track panel tinting" enabled, allowing true colour swatches
; items are coloured according to track colour, and can be set independently as well
; colouring of individual takes will tint the waveform
; if you replace "1962" with "1578", take peaks are tinted instead of take backgrounds, but this will make it more difficult to see item selection(in this theme, peaks turn white when the item is selected, but not when takes are coloured)


You can change that to 1578 and see how you like it then. In fact there are many different numbers you can enter to affect how tracks and items are coloured, but they are derived from a rather complicated process. You can see that here, if you're brave: http://forum.cockos.com/showpost.php...2&postcount=37

Thanks you for this link!


I eventually figured out how this works (in case anyone else is interested)


so here's the order of bits
Bitswitch
&11HEXGDFCBA

I set:


True = ON
0 A= tracklabel tinting
1 B= trackpanel tinting


False = ON
0 C= tint waveform peaks to track color
1 D= tint waveform peaks to item
1 E= tint waveform peaks to Take


True = On
0 F= tint background to track color
0 G= tint background to item
0 H= tint background to take


which is (trying to line them up)
11HEXGDFCBA
110 10 01 0010


So these 11 bits add up to a decimal number
1024 + 512 +128 + 16 +2
see how it works? (columns are 1024,512,256,128,64,32,16,8,4,2,1 so add up the columns with a "1" in them)

so tinttcp 1682
