[ANSWERED] Question for Themers: FX Chain background and name bezel

[Colin Nicholls]

I don't think the background of the FX Chain window or the background of the FX Chain name (similar to the Synth Rack Name Bezel) can be changed by a theme.

Any themer out there managed to figure this out? I'm stumped.

References to images and colors are stored in FX Chain presets.

The customize UI option is in the FX Chain context menu.

Right-click on the FX Chain to bring up the context menu.

Ah, I see. Independent from theming but still customizable. Thanks, @scook.

I recommend taking a break from reading the docs and go for a walk outside or something like that   ?

Editable graphics are located in the "Cakewalk Content/Cakewalk Core/FX Chain Graphics" folder. 

Oddly, All versions of my Sonar& Cakewalk right-click/Customize UI menu default to the Sonar X1 folder, not the appropriate one. Not sure if that can be changed. May be a bug no one noticed yet... ? X2 had issues altering the graphics and was left unfixed but CbB seems to work OK.

Likely inherited from previous installs

Each version of SONAR and CbB has a

UserPaths\EffectsChainArtworkFolder
in their version of
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Cakewalk Music Software\

 

For example the full registry path to EffectsChainArtworkFolder for CbB is

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cakewalk Music Software\Cakewalk\Core\UserPaths

 

Probably should be global instead of one entry per DAW.

Makes sense since they're all identical, except X2 which doesn't have a folder.

And thanks for the registry tip. One could globalize it for all versions there.
