[Byron Dickens]

I like the looks of the LCS Solaris themes (esp. the blue) but is here a bersion of this with faders instead of volume knobs in the mixer window?

You mean like this?

Screenshot #1 in this post.

Not sure why you think otherwise.

Hmmm. That's not what it looks like when I open it up. Looks more like #3. I Must be doing something different.

I downloaded a whole bunch of different ones all at once that I thought might look good and honestly didn't pay that much attention to which was which.

Most themes have several versions of the different element. Open the theme, then click on the 'Options' menu at the top. Scroll down to "Layouts". From there you can choose the element and the layout for each. Then, set those as your preferences using the function keys.

Curious to know why this wasn't posted in the Solaris_LCS thread?

all layouts convert to knobs when they reach a certain height.
The Tracking and Tracking Thin layouts have knobs at any height.

Screenshot #3 is with the mixer docked to the bottom and pulled down or compacted to allow access to the edit or track view.
All layouts will have knobs at this point. (see above). If pulled up or stretched to cover most of the track view the faders should appear.
The Fullscreen layout is the least flexible when the mixer is bottom docked.
The fader section for this layout cannot be resized and must convert to knobs sooner to allow it to become smaller.

Additional:
1. Click on the Menu at the bottom of the Master make sure "Show multiple rows of tracks when size permits" is not selected [see attached screenshot].
This setting will cause all layouts to be in compact mode with knobs even if docked to left with Reaper at full height.

2. if the main Reaper window or a floating Mixer window are less than full height [1920x1080] you are more likely to see the knobs instead of faders.
which Leads me to...

3. what size is your display resolution? If it is less than 1920 x 1080 this may be why you are only seeing knobs

Please post future questions in the Solaris_LCS thread.

Aha!

I'm new to this whole customizable GUI thing. I'm used to being pretty much stuck with what you're given aside from customizing tool bars & such.

Thanks for the assistance.
