"Unfortunately I don't think the "Recolor project" feature will be useful, since it just randomly changes track colors. Many users (like me) use specific colors for specific instruments in all our projects. "

I am one of these users, I'm sure there are thousands out there. I agree.

I am the opposite user who doesn't care about specific colors, but wants some gradient across tracks for another layer of intelligibility. I use lots of folders and use a similar action to "rainbow-ize" my tracks, and then set all children to the parent folder colors. Makes things really tidy looking. I will definitely use this feature.

Default MIDI editor brighter notes

This has maybe been already discussed, but have you considered using just the borders to indicate selected note state?
This can give notes with clearer colours in their unselected state. Otherwise they might seem muted.

If already been through that, then ignore.

"Tracks which share a colour will be given the same new color" (NB: colour vs color) does not help much, since different instruments in the same family are often colored slightly differently, but may end up with widely divergent colors after re-coloring.
Thanks for the typo spot! And by, typo, I of course mean "pfft, bloody foreigners"

There are already a load of colour palette scripts out there, perhaps there's one that does what you want already? As a beginner programmer I can testify to them being an easy way into scripting so I'm sure someone could do one for you. The recolor function is there as a way of trying out the palettes without having to go into click frenzy mode, but there are also some users who seem to love it. I find it quite fun.

Please do note that it does set an undo, so there's no downside!

At 150% you get the 100% draw of the script window (it doesn't have a 150% size like the theme does). It actually changes up at >150. I'll change it so that 149 is the swapover and we'll see if anyone complains... all things being equal, I think "this thing is unnecessarily filling my screen" is a more bearable situation than "this is too small to use."

OK, what you are seeing here is the big new thing. Its a bold move, but I've made it very, very easy for the user to change with a layout swap or using the adjuster script. Allow me to make the case:

Reaper can be taxing for visual searching (and this is also intimidating to new users) because it has an enormous number of controls if you have the mixer open, because you're seeing everything twice. The workflow approach would be to say that if you are using the mixer AND the track panels, you may often be doing the same thing on them, but you're doing so in different workflow modes. Other DAWs enforce those modes by never putting some controls on their track panel; this is the Reaper equivalent. If you're using def6, layout A, and you haven't used the theme adjuster script, and the mixer is visible ...so, the hour zero context... it only shows the pan and route controls on the mixer, not both. Because if you were to make a generalization (definitely not one size fits all...) that's where they are most useful.

I'm tidying elements from the interface based on workflow observations. The kind of thing almost all software does and, some argue, Reaper should do more of. But I've Reaper'd it by making it completely reversible. Hopefully this will all be a lot more 'ah, nice!' rather than 'wuh, WTF?' once Kenny has done a video on it

You're absolutely right, but the majority of feedback I get it that users are more interested in a super clear selected state than in colour fidelity. I'm not comfortable with the degree to which I'm losing colour definition on selected notes (its sometimes too bright to tell) but I'm going where I'm led on this one.

Floating mixer window! That was the crucial detail I was missing in order to replicate, thanks very much. I'm on it.

Can I ask that you do some detective work with your reaper-themeconfig.ini file please? Do you see it changing numbers when you change settings? Do those numbers get erased/changed when you restart Reaper?

Post deleted for now, I was trying other versions so maybe something got crossed up, if happens again I'll try and figure what causing it and report back. Thanks!

I tried a portable install and the only time it didn't do it was the very first time I tried it after install. If it's docked or floating or in a separate window it's doing that. Also, when docked at the bottom, resizing the window puts the lower elements completely offscreen. I'm testing on a Win10 laptop with 1280x800 max res if that makes a difference.

Default Blurry icons and MIDI editor not still as wide as possible

Hello,

I just tested the brand new 6.0rc3. I have two problems with the theme:

1) All the icons are blurry :



2) The MIDI editor does not still display in full screen (see the bottom space):



Note that I'm running Reaper x64 on Windows 10 Prox64 with a 125% display resolution.

Make sure to try aware+ignore that is in preferences>general>advanced UI/system tweaks.
Looks like pressing (reset to defaults) does nothing in there? hmm

And in Appearance you have option not to scale above/below and sometimes depending on the font choice, fast text rendering (rebell mood) might be a preferred preference? you're the boss.

Thanks, this fixed the first problem. In fact, it switched to a 100% screen res. But how can I do if I want to preserve the 125% zoom (or try 110% for example) without getting icons blurry, please?

And how to deal with the second problem? It's something here since a long time. I thought it might be the time to fix it.

Hmm, I don't usually go full with the editor, but it looks ok here on rc3, I can't get what your screenshot shows atm, hmm.
Tried setting REAPER also at fullscreen, nope, still looks ok.
Running Windows10 at 125%, this minute.

This is why we have pre-made 100%/150%/200% options for this theme at least, in view/screenset/layouts.
Preferences Advanced UI have scale UI option, never tried it though and if you ask me, all sorts of scaleing is asking/begging for blur specially if going from 100% to 110-125%.

You can always have a look in the stash maby someone have made a theme a tad bigger.
Maby something like https://stash.reaper.fm/theme/906/RADOVOX.zip, hmm.


And your midi editor screenshot is not Default6, same problem with D6?

Thanks for your message. I wanted to show that the window of the MIDI editor does not fullfill the bottom of the screen (see the yellow arrow in my screenshot). It seems like it stopped exactly when the Windows task bar should begin. However, the arrange view is fully displayed.

Just try to expand the MIDI editor window to the bottom. You will face to an "invisible wall" that prevents you to fullfill the screen. If not, can you send me a screenshot that reflects the good behaviour you seem to have on your computer, please?

PS : I always run Reaper in full screen so the problem comes from elsewhere.

Can you switch to Default6 theme REAPER6 rc3 please, and see if you still have this problem so we are using the same stuff?
You are using a custom theme on your screenshot that I don't have and to make sure it is not the theme you are using that is the cause of this, and, this thread is Reaper V6 Default Theme - RC1, WT will destroy me if I go bug talk using another theme.

Sorry, I not told you that in the meantime I switched to the default theme and that the behaviour is the same.

Another problem: the icons of the main toolbar don't go to the line when resizing the TCP. Normally, the icons should stack (one above one) in order to all being visible, and not be cropped if I remember correctly.

Also, I don't understand why the master track of the TCP has no border (ie. no separation is made between the master track and the main toolbar) but this is not so important.

I have noticed that after RC1 some of my toolbar icons went from white to gray. For example these latter two, while the first two icons are ok.

Bugs:

- Envelope indent doesnt not work when dragging a track into a folder. You have to re-show the envelope to get the indent.

- Again, the scaling in the transport is messing up the selection time boxes. The more elements added the more chance it gets cramped. Though, there are space left so I guess it should work.

Yeah-no, the toolbar don't have the power to push down the TCP automagically, if you just minimize drag to the left no, but if you help it first and drag down to make room/space and then to the left, the toolbars will sort itself up to "the grid" so yeah, smells like intended behaviour, the user should adapt, teamplay kinda thing.

The TCP master does look kinda sad & forgotten in un-selected state because it is same color as the BG yeah, you could always go to the theme tweaker and change the main window/transport BG a tad up or down.
The image of that thing is tcp_mainbg.png if you wanna GIMP it or something.
--
Even added midi notes and your settings, still can't do it with an almost default REAPER6..*whine*..
Can you, with a new portable Default6? popular question but cool we have a portable for this stuff, so easy quick to try.

That is, I assume, because you had overwritten the default fallback icons instead of the replacement icons being included in a theme. Theme makers tend to instruct users to do this so that their icons appear in the icon selector - which is a good reason, but is due to the icon selector not looking inside themes, which it really should.

What this means is when I updated the default icons, it overwrote the icons you had overwritten. This is working how its supposed to, themes aren't supposed to overwrite Reaper's fallback content, but its just never happened before, so I can see how it could come as a surprise. Sorry.

That envelope thing sounds like a Reaper redraw error. Could I ask that you make a licecap of it and post it in the main thread please?

Regarding the transport selection text - Ah, at last we have it! OSX, right? Its translating to the wrong text size I'll get the fix in, thanks.

fladd: Nope, all looks good here on rc3, yours is way off, agreed.
You can try removing your toolbar and load it again, make a new one and point it to scripts/cockos/please work.lua

I've invested a lot of time in tweaking my REAPER 5 theme to perform how I like, so I'm probably not going to be switching to the default 6 theme for a little while... btw I'm using WT's Imperial theme and it is just... spot on.

That being said, I just download the v6rc3 and was messing around with the theme script and the TCP and MCP.

Holy cow!

the theme adjuster script opens in a window that's larger than my screen, vertically.

Hello,

All my remarks worth for the v6 theme even if my screenshots are taken from a 3rd-party theme.

You're right. When the Windows taskbar is hidden, the MIDI editor tooks all the vertical space screen, as intended. In the opposite, the MIDI editor is "blocked" by a transparent Windows taskbar, as if Reaper could not be "above" it. This strange behaviour happens only with Reaper. All my other music apps (for example: Ableton Live, Akai MPC, Traktor, Sibelius) or just other apps (for example: Vegas Pro, Guitar Pro) are their fullscreen fine with floating windows. I guess it's the same for all Windows users.

But since it always happened, it's not related to the V6 theme especially so I can move the problem to another thread.

Thanks for the clarification

The image of that thing is tcp_mainbg.png if you wanna GIMP it or something.
Okay, that's fine.

Can you, with a new portable Default6? popular question but cool we have a portable for this stuff, so easy quick to try.
Yes, I tried (and continue to stick with for this thread) the v6rc3 portable version of Reaper and the Windows taskbar thing remains. Concerning the icons, they are also blurry when scale is > 1.0 (but it's only noticeable from 1.2). But I guess it's normal since the icons are designed by 30*30 pixels.

It seems to be related to the "show fx parameters/inserts" mixer options. If I disable both, it goes away, but either one enabled makes the buttons overlap.

Edit:installed rc3, deleted themeconfig. Works fine.


Script doesn't seem to remember settings. When I reopen Reaper it all goes back to as it was originally.
However, in portable install it's all good.

themeconfig - Numbers stay the same before and after changes are made, and Reaper reopened:

[Default_6.0_unpacked]
param19=146
param22=100
param79=2
param78=2
param1=1
param60=0
param61=0
param63=0
param2=1
param12=0
param4=3
param55=6
param69=4
param54=1



portable themeconfig:
[Default_6.0]
param19=25
param22=100
param21=4
param23=1
param77=1
param2=1
param1=1

is there a way to see what version of script we are on? I am not sure if I have the most updated version. Maybe a separate download?

1. Is it wanted that when you click on a mixer track, it expands its size and show the db meter only for the selected track?

2. Is it normal that clicking on a fader area of a mixer track can instantly change the fader position on selection ?

I'm wondering this too.

Still happens for me in rc4.

Default Advanced Scaling Settings on Win 10

I don't seem to be able to scale(down) the Theme script window
when the scale setting is at 200%. Is this possible? This
might prove to be a problem for some users.

The 'Compact docker when small and single tab' option doesn't
close the dock window selection panel completely when at 200%
scaling. It does at 100%.

As for the 50% and 75% DPI scale sizes, they appear to be the same.
Are these meant to be relative to the scale size?

There does not appear to be a %50 or 75% size for the MCP master mixer panel.

Will these aspects of the theme remain as is or can they be expected to
change/improve over time?

OK, I've now had this happen to me, once, but I haven't been able to replicate it. Has RC4 fixed it for you?

I do treat 1366x768 as my bare minimum these days, though I do look forward to it not being a thing sooner rather than later I've made it so that, though you don't get all of the window, all of the functional bits do fit in, so its still 100% useable, I hope that's a fair compromise. Turn off the help button (top left) to shrink the borders if you like.

Oh lordy, that's embarrassing I'm definitely not going to be able to fix that quickly so ...could you just ...er.... not do that please?

Yes. You are using a theme that doesn't support the new HiDPI functionality yet. Which is fair, its not even on general release yet. Patience, we're nearly there!

Thanks, I have the fix for this now.

Only if you have set it to do that in the script, or if you are using layout C.

Yes, that's how Reaper works.

No, it picks its size (100% or 200%) based on your screen resolution.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but Reaper's docking/sizing stuff does seem to need some attention for HiDPI.

Exactly, the only sizes that actually exist are 100/150/200. 50/75 are there so that if you are using a HiDPI screen, you can still access the smaller sizes. If you're on a 100% screen, things can only get bigger. Does that make sense?

Ooops, that's a particularly silly omission and an easy fix. Thanks!

If there is any room for a change in the velocity colour map:

I orient myself in velocity by minimum, middle and maximum. All the rest is in between. That brings a 3-color gradient idea, something like this:



in use:


The blue is a dark cyan so to prevent too low saturation area going to the yellow.

The difference between the current colour map is that the current one treats each color by changing its hue and keeping its saturation at max, thus making each color an individual in a sense. The presented gradient treats the in-between colors as being a passing colors between the three main colors and also reduces the hue spread.
