Default change envelope background color, not envelope color

How do I change the colors of the track backgrounds and not the envelope fill color?

To my knowledge, the envelope lanes can't have a separate color from the track they belong to. So it's just determined by the odd/even track background colors you have set in the theme editor preferences.

I was afraid of that.

However, what's up with the screenshot art this link:

I really want to be able to do that. This different colored envelopes thing is for the birds. I need to organize stuff, not look fancy.

Link directly to the image, because I don't even see any envelopes on that page...

I apologize, my terminology was bad.

I'm referring to the media item backgrounds vs. the item itself. Nothing to do with automation envelopes.

The screenshot I'm referring to is the first one to the right of the "what is reaper" dialogue.

Can you rephrase your original question then? I think I'm even more confused by what you're asking now.

Sorry, thanks for bearing with me.

On that first full screen shot that I was referring to, the color of the tracks from top to bottom is Green, lime green, blue, maroon.. etc.

It's the background of all these tracks that has been colored, not the media item itself. when I go to the theme preferences, or right click the media item and select to change the item to a custom color it assigns the color to the positive space of the item, not the negative. If I want to color something orange, I want an audio file to be there with an orange background, not a gray background with an orange audio envelope.

Does that make more sense?
