A very nice theme, congratulations, very handy and eye candy. Please brother, I like to make a request for you: - Could you make one (or two) more TCP option with a smaller label area (maybe half of the actual size) condensing all buttons (or as many as possible) below it (below the label), to free up a little bit more space in arrange view? It would be also great if it gives the same feature with the "meter 3 controls-below" option, which could have a " half of the size" version either... No clue about how difficult it could be to work in a request like that, but I decided to ask you since you permitted it. God bless you, bro.

It's not clear to me what you're asking for.
do you want something like this?

Hi Lucas, thanks for the quick answer... Yes, just like this, but for your knowledge, I have only seven buttons in my main toolbar, then that is the size I would like to be those alternative TCP options. ( I have attached an image of the idea)
in your print example, there is no meter at all, right? It would be nice if the meter remains in-between TCP and arrange view and, in the case of the meter 3 option, the track name remains in-between TCP and arrange view, but with everything as condensed as possible... I am Brazilian, sorry for my poor English.

Thanks, God bless you.

@ ProMusic27
your English is fine.
way better than my Spanish or Portuguese.

That layout is do-able.
I have a working version already.
Please note that using folder at this sized is useless, you will need to pull it to the right if you use folders.
As you pull to the right all the buttons follow the right edge, the track label and Recinput stretch to fill the space, but it's empty between them.

I will post an update in a few days when I have more time.
I've updated the image in the post show what it looks like, but here it is again to save you scrolling:

First of all, thanks for your kindness... Secondly, I see what you mean about the use of folders... I haven't considered it until your explanation... I use to use folders, but rarely more than one "instance", meaning, rarely I put folders inside folders... anyway, your theme looks so good I would use it with or without the changes I suggested, but having those options is even more satisfying, especially when it results in such a humble and goodwill interaction as this one we are having. Actually, I didn't try to use folders yet with your new theme but will address another thing that varies between themes... there are themes that, when fully minimized, it displays tiny layers (thin channels) below the folder track, when others have the ability to hide all channels, displaying only a "ghost waveform"... for my taste, as I struggle with the arrange view space, I prefer the second option, meaning, full hidden... what is your approach or opinion on that?

thanks a lot for your attention Lucas, God bless you.

@ ProMusic27

I think this layout will be useful to others besides yourself, so it was good suggestion.

RE: the tiny folder tracks
The tiny tracks are used in this theme.
using the invisible version invites the likelyhood of forgetting about these tracks which are also being edited.
Using the tiny tracks instead keep a reminder that the tracks are there and also are being edited.

I prefer this method, since it seems likely to me that they would be forgotten by most people (like me ) if 'invisible' method is used.

You're using Reaper on Linux, correct?
Please let me know what you are doing to have the 'bouncing' text show up so I can replicate.
As you guessed, this will likely take a while since I'm not setup for Linux at the moment.

I'm on Windows.

Honestly it's so small I'm happy to ignore it.

unfortunately, I can't find how to change it.
It'll have to wait until White Tie or someone else can confirm whether WALTER can control it or not.

I thought this could be the case Lucas, the fact it could be a lil tricky for some people... and that's alright. Thanks for all your replies, looking forward for the new version. Peace.

Default No input monitoring

This is an awesome looking theme. It could've easily become my default theme but for one little thing...there's no input monitoring button. You could've simply added it to the other buttons there at the bottom.

The monitor button shows up when the record button is armed.
It replaces the Env button or the Phase button depending on the current configuration

Just wanted to say how much I appreciate this theme - I tried them all and this one sticks. Could not work anymore without that "Meter the Great" MCP Master panel.

Thanks a lot! And of course I'd be deliriously happy if this will continue to be updated

Just chiming back in after some more months of using this theme:
If there is one thing I'm missing it's a "Large FX Rack" option for the MCP track layout

Once more, thanks for your wonderful work!

In addition - I mean an FX rack version that is as large (or wide) as the "Large" options for MCP tracks. (This wide option is very nice when using embedded FX like an oscilloscope etc.)

I will second this request. I think something missing from most themes is a large-enough mixer to show embedded plugins along with parameters.

You should re-download, though.
I just fixed a bug with the Pan and Width labels on the new layout.
you won't see the issue unless you use the Stereo or Dual Pan modes.

I also changed the names of FX-Rack and FX-Rack Large to
FX Rack
FX Rack Large

I removed the hyphen or 'dash' so those layouts correspond to the same ones in the LCS_Bluecore theme.
