Default Apollo200%

200% graphically scaled Apollo, had to do it, you knew it was coming.
4K users can now use this in Aware mode and get the sharp peaks and will not be tiny.

Original creators ---> Lampshade & witti <---



Update: remade some similar knobs and, stuffs..

OMG, the first tried out Theme ever that looks amazingly sharp on my 4K Dell Monitor,
hooked up to my Macbook 2015 (via mini display connector).

I can't believe what i'm seeing, and look at those mega sharp fonts in my Toolbar Buttons ..

AMAZING !

I have to say, this piece of work is really revolutionary and will make alot of todays Reaper users with hi-def screen
really,really happy.
It is as if a new Reaper World has appeared on the Horizon !

I want to really thank you for this great update.

Update:
Some pink line problems.
The narrow layout had knob lines on top of the text knobs, not a nice combo.
mcp_sendlist_arrows, removed the knobs from the image because of stretch issues.
SmajjL did an oops, fixed.. ..

Update'ness

Finally figured out how to un-brake the sidebar layout and resizing issues, so added that back.
Increased the BPM font a tad so EDM'ers will be happy.
Darkened down the tcp_fxparm_empty abit.
& stuff..

OK - so I'm a musso; not a computer geek! How can I try this theme?

I download and I get a file type called '001 File' When I click on it it asks for an app - I choose Reaper but it just opens my regular theme.

Hehe, hi trev
Download http://www.7-zip.org/
The install should be easy enough and after that make sure you downloaded all parts, because it is split because of the stash size limit, Apollo is a three part'er.
Then right-mouse on Apollo200%.7z.001 and extract here, then you have your Apollo200%.ReaperThemeZip.

WOW! Love it!

Downloaded this and the Paulie 200 theme. Great stuff - I can actually read the meters for the first time ever!

All you need is - love, it and I love that you love it because I rrrrreally have loved me some apollo looong time, multiple times, many nights.

I will do more and the next, is around the corner, also a classic Not to be Forgotten, a swedish "soon" is the estimated time for release.

I will complete Apollo more also, it was just me having some issues when I started, all rusty'ness, lots of un-nessesary *doh!*'s.. but hey, learning.

Another great theme I like is Default Comalla 5 but hey, why not have a go at your own theme too.

The only problem I find with most themes is the color contrast in the meter readings. Having grey numbers on a slightly darker grey background may look sexy but doesn't cut it for an older guy like myself. I rely heavily on meter readings when tracking and while the 200 Apollo and Paulie themes are a great improvement, perhaps this is something for all themers to bear in mind.

I think vanhaze is happy I am also fine with apollo/paulie just did few more for the people and choices/flavours is good.
I will make my own, just don't know what yet.
Since this is about supporting, Comalla sounds like a Good idea since we all know default, not sure if those fonts will scale well though, hmm, I shall find out, a maby on that for now.
The peak readout is tiny and my only lill'whine atm I think, not sure the devs will call Microsoft..
