Hi,
I searched the forums but didn't find a complete solution. So i decided to start a new thread to solve this finally.
For me its a pretty annoying thing to make a quick time selection at certain zoom levels. I work a lot with Reaper but i just don't get it into my brain where to place the mouse for time selection especially if the tracks have no dark color to separate enough from the track lane. Of course after some looking I find the right spot above the items or at a zoomed out free place with no items, but that's not intuitive. I asked myself: why the heck is it so disturbing to make a time selection? The answer is: there is no visible guidance to do it intuitive if you are zoomed in with no free room on the track lane.
So what I really like about Reaper is how its possible to match it to your own workflow. Unfortunately i got stuck here because i have no idea how to create a visual guidance the way i would like.
Here is an example:
The above darker item header would it make much easier to focus and place the mouse pointer for a time selection.
That's the Reason I want to color the header (not just the label background) in a solid color. It would be much better to follow a darker separated guide rather then looking for the space between tracks or items.
So my question is: Did someone find a way to achieve this or are there more people who find it annoying to not have the possibility?
Many thanks
