Make VST3 and DX colors different in Plugin browser

[Brad Scholz]

I am using the Mercury theme and would like to know how to change the colors of 32-bit and 64-bit VST3 plugins as they appear in the Plugin Browser so that they are not the same color (blue) as the old DX plugins. I tried changing these using the theme editor (Theme Editor-->Browser-->Plugin Browser-->Plugin Types), but the changes I made were not reflected in the drop down list. Can someone help me out with this?

If I remember correctly those or maybe some other elements were changeable using the Theme Editor in a early release version, a few years ago, but they were changed I assumed for the sake of consistency.  Not sure I left some test images up, because it was only relevant to an early release for a very short time.

This is not from thread I had in mind, but it is the kind of colorization I had in mind. Not sure if this can still be done.

I should have been clearer. All I really want to change is the color of the icons in the browser.

Just saw your image -- yes, that's what I want to do. But I'm wondering what element I need to change to make that happen.

I have images from the Theme Editor there.  Let me know if these  will work for what you want to do.

UPDATE: Quick color change test:  Happy color picking!

Made the icons for vst2 and vst3 much better and DX icon is grey so they’re all distinct
