You don't want to do that, because its bad. Attached is the file I made to prove this; unpack the theme and drop it in.

I have noticed people keep using this thing I did, to prove its bad, because they like it. I don't understand, and I'm still waiting for someone, anyone, to explain why. Meanwhile ...er... enjoy the bad thing I suppose ;

imho

It is better because of the amount of screen space,
It is much easier to slightly increase tcp layout of a track in length and be able to see the effects on all tracks than to scale them in height and start seeing only on one or two tracks ..
It's just a matter of ergonomics in my opinion
In most cases, you want to see as many tracks as possible. Effects from below do not provide such an opportunity.

Thank you, White Tea <3

The positive is that if you don't need that area for other controls (so they're mostly disabled in the theme adjuster, or your TCP is very wide), it'll show a single entry in line on the right hand side even when the TCP is short.

The negatives are myriad. It demands space from all the other elements that you might not need, it can show far fewer controls in every single context except when the TCP is short, as described above, when it'll show one instead of none. It wastes the huge area I coded into the bottom of the TCP to give as much room as possible for v6's greedy new embedded plugin UIs.

Its crap; I don't understand why people keep asking for it, is it just a 'superficially like another DAW' thing? Because Reaper is specifically doing a lot of things very differently and potentially simultaneously using that area. I have no problem with people wanting what they want, and thus I have provided, but as a designer doing bad things for unclear reasons is very much not my jam.
