Thanks for letting me know.

Stash is renaming it to the original file name.
I changed the file back a back to a normal .zip file to avoid confusion.
It will need to be unpacked as it did originally.

It would be best to post this question in it's own thread.
Someone more knowledgeable will possible see it give a better or at least, a more complete answer.

EDIT:
I checked.
use the Theme Adjuster TCP section.
Near the top right is the adjustment for what you seem to want to do.
Align Controls

Hi Lucas_LCS

Theme Adjuster

'PANEL INDENT' in MCP doesn't seem to be working properly for both themes.


best regards,

best regards,

Yes, it was turned off as noted in the first post of this thread:

It's unnecessary and causes alignment issues with their Strip & Narrow layouts.
If you need that kind of "on-the-fly" flexibility, please use the C layout instead.
The Mixer/MCP Folder Indent has also been disabled due to alignment issues I am unable to address at this time.
If you need this and want it in this theme, you will need to look at the RTCONFIG to turn it back on.
If you do it will only work properly with the MCP C layout.

I love this theme. Hope 150% and 200% get added eventually

I can't seem to get the narrow and short MCP to work with faders? It always turns into a knob for me sadly, anyone know how to fix this?

When the mixer is too small to accommodate the fader, it switches to a knob.
You need to make the mixer or that track taller to see the fader.

Please post a screenshot and the exact layout being used if you are having a different issue.

@lucas_LCS

when using the Master Mixer Panel Layout default, the FX button is segmented and off to the side. If i manually select layout A, it appears as normal, otherwise it looks like this:



is this by design, or was in mentioned somewhere in this thread and i missed it?

Hey LCS, thank you so much for updating this theme and making it fully functional in HiDPI displays! This is my current go-to theme.

That said, I found minor issues I thought I'd let you know, namely:
1) the I/O window text is black on a black background
2) the MIDI Editor is still light-theme style.
3) the colored faders layouts for MCP doesn't scale correctly

Keep up the great work!

Please post a screenshot of what you're seeing.

Thank you for your reply Regarding 1) and 2) I suppose I just changed those colors to make it into a "proper" dark theme (as opposed to being like the Default 6 theme) and forgot about it.

As for 3), I've attached a picture. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but at least the way I expected it to work is just like the "main" A layout etc (which has "(DPI-translated to 200%_A)" next to it). I'm aware I can just directly pick 200%_A for it to work correctly, but it's a bit inconvenient when my monitors are in different resolutions, so it'd only work correctly on one of them.

I really can't say what to expect, but it's likely that the color faders need calls created for them in the script that does the translation.
I don't use Reaper this way and just select the layouts I want through the menus.

I don't know that I would be able to create the code needed to make this happen for you, but to even troubleshoot I would need to know the following:
- O/S and version (Win 10, Win 11 and build number, MacOS version, Linuc distro and version, etc.)
- what version of Reaper you are using
- all the Reaper option settings and O/S settings that make the DPI translation happen for your case

I just wanted to express my gratitude by saying that I always come back to either the standard or light version of this beautiful theme.

It is just so well balanced and practical for my personal taste.

[lucas_LCS]

@ timothys_monster
Thanks!
Glad to hear it's working well for you.

First, great theme. This is the only theme I really use with the occasional foray into my own modded version of default.

Anyway, I find that changing the fonts on this (and pretty much all other default adjacent themes) makes a huge difference. At least on my screen swapping larger and bolder fonts really modernizes things.

Also, I switched to a slightly lower resolution on my monitor and that also helped Reaper to feel more "artistic" and less clinical.

Anyway... great work!

Hey Lucas, any plans on updating the theme for the new elements in REAPER v7?

I would love to keep using it in the future, but I also understand that it is probably quite a big undertaking.

Unknown at this point.
I'm trying to decide whether to make new flat versions of the default 7 buttons or just adapt the Flat-6 images to the new code.
Either way, it will mostly just be a reskin of Default 7 since the strip layouts and Visual Spacers are already there.
Any additional layouts will be colored faders, but I can't promise that.

You can still use Flat-6 in Default 7, just like any other old theme.
