Ah, sometimes copy and paste works perfectly  for phase and interleave from console view!  🙂

That would look good, thanks!

There are the track phase and interleave buttons.  I  did not always have the tracks showing  all items.

Oh, I see all of what you wrote now..thanks.

Oh wait, maybe it is just a color pallet...I will look right now...

It's funny, I opened up every view but that one it appears, however even looking at it, I would not really know what to do with it, except copy from M-New Gen that is at least a little darker?  Most of the elements have something internally that is similiar I can copy from.  This one looks a little more complicated... Thanks!

I did update a few more of my contrast finds in as posted in my new post.

oops, this is that post!

That darn    Mix Module!  Some of those things I will Never Use and do not know what they are for!!!  Lol

Envelope offset mode made contrast fix same for big and small state...

This should be it for today.  This is more of a minor one.

Plug-In unsampling button  in the mix module small state was not contrast optimized like the large state was.

Thanks!

I found another contrast issue with the metronome playback and record buttons.

Here's the fix.

Besides the standard 220.04 changes required...

Contrast added to the on and off state of many buttons that were very  ambiguous as to being off or on.

Clarity added to several items that were blurry including the docking icons.

Incorporated the Darker Pro Channel

Used M- New Gen Note Duration icons for Piano Roll, etc. [ I absolutely LOVE all of the tasteful shadowing in the New Gen Theme!]

Lots of updating to this them beyond just fixing it for  2020.04 because many of the buttons had very little discernible difference between pressed and not pressed.

I also darkened a couple of things like the Pro Channel.  I used the marvelous M-New Gen Notes Note Duration icons as stated above and cleaned up a lot..

I am a typical guy who does not read many directions, so I did this by just diving in..noticing the search button in the Editor way late in the process!  Lol

Anyway, it seems to work and make pretty good sense to me.

Since I did not follow careful directions, I am sure I could have missed something, but be gentle, I am fragile... :'-(     😜

I will make a separate post when I get back in a few...

Fixing some more ambiguous buttons, etc., including the global enable button...on and off almost look the same.

FX Bypass, Post/Pre button, etc. all need work.  Getting it done..  🙂  ...automation read button...

Worth it for me to get it in proper working order...

Excellent attention to detail in your updating efforts!!

And thanks for mentioning the blurriness issue--I wasn't sure if it was my eyesight or my PC when I posted this:

Several elements look like the creator might have used paint bucket on several things that splattered the color around a little much...

Input Echo off state was ambiguous , so I made it darker.

The Note Duration icons were the generic  ones so I used the beautiful M-New Gen ones.

I cleaned up a few things.  I will share this Mod in a new post?

Can I attach the Theme file in  a post or do I have to drop box it or something?

Some of the module words and icons were quite blurry originally as well as the collapse arrows and squares and other icons...I made these at least more clear.

I added the darker Pro  Channels .

I still have a couple of things to do like work on the small version of the Export module.  

Oh, I see now...I edited it earlier and did not save it I guess, because it is back to original in my editor...

Save, Save, Save...   🙂

I looked around and actually thought I had updated it, and it must be hidden somewhere.

I have super high regard for those who can do full themes; I have only done a few tweaks (some of which you might have seen in the Theme Guide thread).  I know I do not have the patience or the artistic skills to do a complete theme.

Perhaps you could take an updated theme you like and make minor tweaks borrowed from Dark Aqua, and build it step at a time.  

The theme editor offers the ability to revert to the elements used by the original theme that the new one is based on. So perhaps you can:

1. Make a copy of Dark Aqua, rename it MyTweaks, and revert elements that seem to be problematic.
2. Load an up-to-date theme.
3. Import MyTweaks and save it with a name like MyTheme.

The idea is that you can create files of personal customizations and import them on top of other themes.

Out of curiosity, what's not looking right?  Maybe others here can help you locate the correct elements that need to be fixed.  Based on my admittedly limited experience, finding the right element can take considerable time. Of course, the theme guide is a great help!

BTW, in order not to hijack this thread, if you want to create a thread on "Updating the Dark Aqua Theme," I would delete this here and repost it there.

 

Those tips are helping me along.   I just can't let a challenge go...  I am getting there on the Dark Aqua.

The subject was about rescuing these themes, but let me know if it needs to be moved...

Man, that little  Notes icon was a tough one... 

Oh, thanks...I will check out the view tab next..thanks!

I'm getting it down kind of...Comparing and copying from other  up to date themes is the key and then re-coloring of course...

Getting close on this one...I'm posting in the old thread that was shared also about old themes, but just wanted to let y'all know that I am getting there...

Do you know if we can make longer faders in Cakewalk?

Wow, I thought Samplitude was difficult to  edit.    It is WAY easier than Cakewalk to edit!!!!

But, those are helpful tips, if I ever get the courage to try it.

Thankfully, I like M-New Gen and M-Unity quite a bit and I can try to add a mod here and there as you suggested.

I really do want to correct Dark Aqua, but understanding each element and what it requires is daunting.

Man, I really want the Dark Aqua to work for me, but I am having a pretty hard time so far working on an update...It is not looking right...

I guess maybe this 3rd party deal is it?
