If yes, that would be helpful information to provide.

Thanks, using 4k.
To clarify now further, the theme works as intended (or so I think),
but as I mentioned earlier, I have to press Control + E (Screenshots and Layouts)
and in the Layout tab I have to select 150% instead of leaving it empty.
That's all.

Using 150% Windows 10 scaling. Should I go back to 100%? (I use 150% because of other themes).

Edit: Tried going to 100% scaling, now I have to select 200% in the Layouts tab, for everything.
Not complaining, works great it seems.

What threw me off was that the images weren't "loading" just throwing the theme into Reaper,
I have to follow my mentioned procedure to make everything look/work as it should, it seems.
Cheers.

Thanks.

Glad you got it sorted - enjoy!

First off, really excited to install this theme once 1080 is ready, and I'm super grateful for the work you're putting in for our benefit.

One question though, the only thing in your theme that I can see that I don't immediately love is that the folder tracks aren't setup to be easily differentiated from regular tracks. I like how on variations of v6 that you can easily find your different track groupings WITHOUT the need for separator tracks.

Notice that the folders go lower on the screen than the regular tracks. Was there a reason to modify that? Or just an aesthetic preference? I suppose agreeing with 99% of your aesthetic choices is pretty damn good, but I thought I'd ask.

If you are referring to the folder indenting on the mixer, this is tweakable by you via the theme adjuster script supplied with the theme.

Fantastic Theme @b0se, really clean and still close/compatible with the original.

I was wondering if once 1080p is released, you'd like some help to make a toolbar/icon bank for the theme (since there are a lot of icons splitting workload could help you out as long as you oversee the process).

Anyway, I'll make icons for my own use of Storyteller's OTR once the 1080p drops but I'd love to help you out and I'm probably not the only one!

After Smooth 1080p I have to work on my business website, once that's done I'm open to getting some help with icons :¬) Thanks!

Yay, some icon love!!!

[writtenbyjoe]

Theme looks amazing, can't wait for the release of the 1080p version of this theme. I appreciate all the hard work you're putting in bOse. Do you have a ETA for release?

Thanks! Yes, this coming week.

[b0se]

1080p coming along nicely.

TCP, MCP, FXlist all done. I may update the keyboard as it looks a bit clunky (designed for HiDPI).

Then it's just clearing a few bits and bobs up.

Release ETA: tomorrow :¬)

[b0se]

MCP animations:



FX inserts are tinted depending on track colour.

Soooooo goooood!

I'll have all the GFX done tonight, tomorrow will be creating layouts (erk!) and packaging up V2 :¬)

[_Stevie_]

[b0se]

Haha!

[sinkmusic]

Excellent, thank you, bOse !

[Xaviez]

Saweeeeeet!
Judging by the screenshots, the only thing that could make this look any better was if the plugins on the MCP where blue if active (like in Logic). Other than that, perfection!

Always blue? Even if the strip/channel was green?

Not sure what you mean, they have active/inactive states that are based upon the track colour.

[Xaviez]

I don't have Logic at hand but this is from the Logic theme from Blankfiles:


Logic proper I think uses orange color for when plugins are bypassed, I'll reboot into macOS later tonight and grab screenshots from there.

Ah, no, I don't like that. The subtle colouring based on the current track is much nicer imo. Blue buttons on a red track would categorically not work, for example :¬)

I think he just meant more solid coloring, not that it had to be one specific color. Easier for the eye to catch.

[phoberus]

I have my display currently at 250% that everything is big enough on my 4k windows notebook with 15 inches. Should I reduce it to 200% for this theme or should it still work?

Ah I see. If you look at the HiDPI smooth FX list you'll see that the inserts are always the same colour, regardless of the track colour.

I was tempted to change it, but I'll do the same on the 1080P version. I'll keep the subtle track colour on hover though, as I love that...

I have no idea, try it :¬)

[edu serra]

will this theme work on a 1920 x 1080 monitor resolution on Win 10?

[tonybeepbeep]

Me later if all goes well

[Not_Here]

am i early?

hello?


crap......

[b0se]

Not yet, currently having fun trying to get 1080p alt TCP and coloured faders working.

Was up late last night (and not getting very far). Starting afresh this morning :¬)

How did you get on with those MIDI editor suggestions I had?

Can you remind me? It's been a long thread :¬)

[b0se]

1080p ALT TCP (dial (A) and fader (B)) done :¬)



Think there's a bug in the rtconfig though, selecting 50% or 75% ALT versions will default to the standard version.

Any 1080p beta testers out there willing to help? (Need to know rtconfig.)

[writtenbyjoe]

bOse if you need help testing the theme out, I'll help.
