Default A couple of questions on MCP

Hi people!
I'm new in Reaper and i'm trying to customize my own theme and layout to my needs. I done this mod in WT Colonial and i need to change a couple more things, so i would appreciate any help. Here are my questions.
Is there a way to change the knob, slot and font size in area 1 (in the track fx controls)?
Also i want to "raise" the fader's 0db-default position (area 2). There's too much space above it and i rarely raise a track's volume above 0db.
Thanks in advance!

Hmmm, I guess it's rather "WT Imperial"... . This said...

- Changing the knob will require to make new versions of the followings : mcp_fxparm_knob.png and mcp_fxparm_knob_bg.png. This can only be done with a graphic software. Be sure that, when doing so, you'll preserve both the dimensions of the images involved and the eventual pink and yellow lines in them.

- About the slots, what do you want to change ?

- The font change can be done by modifying the first parameter of the following Walter instruction (located in the rtconfig.txt file). Its value is dependent of what is in the WALTER font 1...8 parameters accessible via the Theme development/tweaker window and is the index of the font in this list (do NOT change the second parameter, as it sets the overall vertical dimension of the fxparm slots themselves) :

set mcp.fxparm.font [2 23]

- The 0dB vertical position of a fader is directly dependent of a preferences setting, from which, it will be applied on all the themes you might use. In the Preferences window, locate the 'Volume fader range' parameters which are in the Appearance>Track Control Panels pane and change them as needed. I guess that they are set as default (-72/+12 dB), so, try to set them at -72/+6 dB : you should get a reduced size of the area used by the faders over 0 dB.

HTWH...

Thank you cubic for taking the time to reply!
set mcp.fxparm.font did the trick for what i wanted to do (smaller slots and knobs).
Also 0db fader now has the range i wanted.

PS The theme's full name i'm moding is Dead Ringer Colonial 4000XL PRO
