noob question: Default_Commala_5_2016 Skin HELP?

[Boi Social]

Hey everyone!
Recently bought Reaper cuz I felt like it
Not a DAW noob but DEFINITELY a reaper noob :S

Downloaded this skin once my classmate told me how to install it (very easy xD)
https://stash.reaper.fm/theme/1912/D...ReaperThemeZip

But the complete layout (including icons etc) seems to look completely different
<<this is the one that shows up on my device

Was wondering if anyone could help me and explain what these highlights mean and stand for.? And maybe how I could pull them up?
<< this is the skin shown in the the link... Any ideas?

Hope someone is willing to chat

Hey Boi Social, welcome!

I just downloaded it and put it on and it came up as expected. On OS X.

Just in case loading the theme went wrong, if you loaded it from the Options menu, try this: Just drag the theme onto the Reaper icon. It should change to whatever theme is dragged onto it.

Are you on OS X or Windows?

What I can see in the second screenshot:

• There are Track Colors assigned: https://www.reaper.fm/videos.php#2FtR8-H3u-A
• The Toolbars (on the top left and in the MIDI editor) seem to be customized: https://www.reaper.fm/videos.php#LzesiU5_Blk
• The Track Manager is docked ** at the top right: https://www.reaper.fm/videos.php#KYNlc2jpO2I
• MIDI Editor: on the right side is the Track List visible (which can be shown/hidden)
• MIDI Editor: The MIDI Note color is probably set to something like 'Color by Pitch': https://www.reaper.fm/videos.php#0ciCQT2LsNE
• The Global Auto section in the Transport Bar is for managing Automation Modes globally: https://www.reaper.fm/videos.php#nVny65ZhYGA
