Default envelope dialogue unreadable

hi,
i'm using reaper 6.03 with 'default commala light 5 (2018)' theme which works nicely for me, except the background of the boxes in the envelope selection screen. seems to be black text on black background. i guess it can be changed (either font or background white) but can't find where. see attachment. any suggestions?
best,
david

Hi David

This should be a simple change in the Theme development/tweaker.

To open the Theme development/tweaker dialoge box, from the pull down menu select Actions > Show action list...

In the filter in the Actions list type "tweak" and it will single out the required action. Double click on that to bring up the Theme developer/tweaker dialogue box.

To change the text colour, near the top, select Window text.

Or, to change the colour of the background select Window background.

Both of these items are very close to the top of the Theme development/tweaker window so no need to set a filter or go searching.

Remember to save the theme from the Theme development/tweaker dialogue box.

cheers

andy

Looking at that screenshot again, I may have got that wrong, so let me spend a bit more time on that and I'll get back...

Okay, not having much luck with this.

I have been right through the images and I cannot find anything remotely related to the envelope selection dialogue box, or any other dialogue box.

Unlike other dialogue boxes, in this one, as you move your mouse over each line the graphic changes, so there must be an image that has normal, mouse over and mouse down states.



and




I don't think I have a definitive answer for this but in the meantime I think you should at least be able to change the text colour.

If I find something more on this I will return...


cheers

andy

You got part of it synkrotron, that text color is Window text. Background color is Button background.

Excellent, thanks xpander, I totally missed that one.

You also have to make sure you have the Force button background/border: item checked.


cheers
