a thought about the trim button...

let's assume for a moment users are by now used to the various states for trim... IF so, then the text on that button could get shortened to just the first letter of the state...

T = trim, W = write, etc. which would allow the button to become a lot smaller... good idea? bad idea?

Trim is just off, so O for trim and T for touch

I believe some themes are calling trim/read "off", but I find it pretty misleading. Off implicates inactivity, but existing automation is still active in trim/read mode. The only difference to read is that track automation can be trimmed. For plugin automation there is no difference at all between trim/read and read that I am aware of apart from the color overlay for track control knobs.

Gofer, in general you are right, but remember that we are talking about tcp/mcp buttons and they don't have off/bypass state at all. They states just show how controls will react on automation (read - move, trim - no move) or in other states how automation will be recorded when you move some controls.

OK here are some ideas for that:

one is that perhaps we don't [at this point] really need the text at all... assuming that more seasoned users know there are the five conditions trim/read read touch latch write

we 'could' just emliminate the text entirely and jus use colors to indicate the condition. I changed all the colors for thse conditons in my own theme since I did not love the defaults... I just changed each of the png files.

If we still think we need some text, perhaps the default, which is trim/read could simply have no text while still leaving the space for a single character for the other conditons.

Then the others wouild just have R T L W and of course they would show the desired colors.

I could make the pngs for you if you want, if you give me the default one that you want to use.

Of course this would change the size of the pngs so you would have to do some WALTER to place them properly.

ok Viente... here are a couple examples of that trim png reduced

only showing the default trim read and the read as example

you can save these images to test for size and placement if you like...

If you want the full set, I can do that as well...just let me know



this would be the one for trim read... just blank really

and below would be the one for read



whatchatink?

if you want to try them, they are 104 px wide by 20 tall... the old ones were 173 wide by 20 tall

now as I look even more, I'm thinking they could really be reduced to just the 3 dot logo and not even have the text area at all...
so just the color code would tell what the trim mode was in.
