Default Theme with Green Yellow Red Meters when Recording

I'm looking for a theme that has color changing meters (Green-Yellow-Red) when recording and has a dark theme. Like Default_5.0_green_yellow_red_VU.ReaperThemeZip by Swenerick but Dark.

Thank you.

you can make your own meters quite easily. Just edit or replace meter png in your theme of choice.

As sonicowl says, as of V5 this is very easy. Find a theme whose meters you like, steal its meter images. Read the stickies of this subforum for details on how to unpack a theme and mess with its images.

Sonicowl and White Tie,

Thank you very much for the replies. I didn't know it was easy to do this. I'll play around with it.

Thank you again for the help.

I copied the meter png files I liked from one theme into the dark theme and they look great. I'm not sure I understand how these work though. Why do you get one behavior for meters when in playback and a different behavior when recording? It seems like there is only one source png file both.

There are in fact three. One for peak meters horizontal and vertical and one for RMS meters vertical. See the Walter Themer's Guide for info on what each row does...
