I've been thinking the same for quite some time. To me it looks like WhiteTie needs some extra bells and whistles to work on the v6 theme

I am pretty sure these walter/theme changes were in some build about 5.9 but I don't see in change log. Were these changes removed and back?

This is absolutely fantastic now. Using this on a waltz with automatic time-signature import made me really smile.

For other users:
Import of tempo map+grid works for both project-item-timebase settings "time" and "beats (positions only)". Notes should be imported into project after tempo.

Glad to see some efforts with theming.

Dear Devs if you have some time in this cycle, allowing to display actions buttons on tcp and mcp would be impressive.

Thanks

On topic of theme updates... can we finally get an option for MIDI signal box and velocity meter not to be so feckin' huge when track meter width increases?

This is a bit ridiculous:

Since you were checking out the routing matrix - it would be amazing to have modifier keys for making pre-fader and pre-fx sends on the fly (eg. shift or ctrl).

Will get_config_var_string() be paired with set_config_var_string()? I could certainly use that. (I'm currently doing gross hacks.)

This is a bit ridiculous:

On the other hand depending on the width of the meter you might not see ANY midi signal at all. The midi signal should be a simple blinking image in an on/off fashion [seen in all cases, no matter the size of the meter].

In parent tracks the midi signal might disappear depending of the height of this track.

Edited: wrong explanation

I am regularly squinting to see whether there is a midi signal coming in on the Imperial themes... The midi input indicator is barely legible.

Doh. I see. For pitch/pan.

Shout out for independent color for loop points in MIDI Editor, with vertical lines option, for consistency with arrange.

Haha, I can see the theming requests are starting to explode after this update included new color settings , but I'm still going to add mine anyway:

Pretty please consider adding a setting for muted track color value / alpha / etc.

https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=173440

It's the most visible non-configurable visual element showing in everyday work that actually effects the readability and usability of doing edits in Reaper (subjectively, imo, and all that.)

I'm all in with that, especially, if these functions would get access to the render-setting-config-vars, like the render-cfg-string, render-pattern, renderfilename, etc.

Though I can imagine, that this function could be used for a setting-function as well on C/C++-side, as the set-config-var-functions in SWS do the same with the C-only-functions get_config_var and the projectconfig_var-functions already.

Even better: Slider, knobs, buttons and textfields. Every change on their settings triggers an action/script.
Using get_action_context2(), we could read out the name of the custom-element(slider, whatever), current-setting of it and the tracknumber in which the element lies.

This would allow tons of cool things....
