Default ProTools/Cubase Style waveform view?

Hey all,

I've been a Reaper user for about 5 years or so, and I've been using themes for most of it.

While watching a ton of youtube videos on mixing tips etc, seeing alot of people use Pro Tools or Cubase, I've noticed that I like the way that those DAWs have the waveform coloured in from the peak to the 0db. (attached an image for example)

I feel like it would be more intuitive for phase alignment etc. I can't seem to find a reaper theme that has that added to it. Or maybe it's not part of theme editing? Does anyone know of a theme that does that? I have a pro tools theme but it doesn't do the same thing. Any theme developers out there down to do this?

Thanks for the responses!

Preferences > Appearance > Peaks/Waveforms
[] Fill waveforms to zero line

Then the transparency of that I'm not sure how to adjust

I use this preference as well but I wish the transparency could be adjusted to match the peaks color, afaik it is not possible. Would be nice if the devs added this possibility.

Is that the only step? I just tried that and nothing changed.

EDIT: just realized I was not exactly giving a lot of detail above.

Reaper v. 6.15. I had a project open and clicke the checkbox. I tried saving it, closing Reaper and re-starting. I tried that all again using the Default 4 theme and noticed no change.

You'll have to zoom close enough into the item to see it. If you're zoomed out too far, the peak outlines merge into each other and you won't see the fill.

The fill is transparent and so it really looks nothing like the Cubase waveforms.

Don't know if it's possible to change the transparency but I couldn't find anything in theme tweaker that would do it.
