sjoens Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 pg8. Global / Frame Rounded Corner Bottom Left & Right are no longer used. They were the lower corners of TV's frame in X1 when more graphics were used. Since then several colors & graphics were abandoned in favor of using internal elements to draw the GUI. Most all the gray CV Module backgrounds are obsolete yet are still included in the TTSImage file & TE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starship Krupa Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I think I found an addition: Console View/Strip Label Text (as referred to on p. 49 of my copy of the YLIP) is the color for the digits used to display peaks (the Console View's counterpart to the Track View's Header Peak Text). Like Header Peak Text, it won't reveal itself unless you change its value and then run the transport a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starship Krupa Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I'd like to suggest some additions: On p. 51, for Console view / Modules / Sends/Patch / Open Insert Send Menu, Console view / Modules / Sends/Patch / Scroll Sends Down, and Console view / Modules / Sends/Patch / Scroll Sends Up, there are no hot pink highlights in the image. I'd like to see that added. Also, these images seem to be used for the similar functions in the Console FX Bin, and if that's the case, a cross-reference to indicate it would be nice.

Definitely worth documenting. My research indicates that Open Insert Send Menu is used in Track View FX Bin, Console FX Bin, and Console Add Send. Scroll Sends Down and Scroll Sends Up are only used in Track View FX Bin as far as I can tell - the Console view increases the size of the Send/FX bins as they are added, to avoid the scrolling list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjoens Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 pg 82. The un-selected Track Name background color appears to be 2C2C2C and does not have a corresponding Theme element. #ToDo: Confirm this. It's NOT Track View > Unfocused Track Background! c.f. Synth Rack un-selected name background color. But it should be, as everything else in PRV follows Track View. pg 88. As of version 2020.08, the docked Synth Rack does not use Synth Name Bezel theme element for displaying the synth name. Same issue as PRV. Currently no way to change either background. The Docked version is now half graphic & half color mask overlay making it look bad all the way around. I'd like to see 2 graphics - one Selected & one Un-Selected used in all views - and 1 color for the preset text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Nicholls Posted January 13, 2021 Author Share Posted January 13, 2021 @sjoens, thanks for your comments. I've made some minor changes to the PRV entries (now on page 75,76?) and updated the graphic because when I re-tested this, it looked a little different from my previous screen-clip. (new version 2020.12.13 uploaded) >> Re: Synth Rack View >> I'd like to see 2 graphics - one Selected & one Un-Selected used in all views - and 1 color for the preset text. I'm not sure what you're asking for, that isn't already in the document. Can you give me a visual example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjoens Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 (edited) Sorry, comment wasn't for you but for how I'd like to see them format the synth rack & all other track views over how it currently is. The Synth Rack has been changed several times & the current format is the most challenging to modify. Edited January 13, 2021 by sjoens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Nicholls Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 Document version 2021.03.21 uploaded and available at URL in First Post. I added a Case Study on Read Automation status display and there are some other minor updates that I can't recall. FYI, the changes in this version arose mostly from my recent development work on MIL-SPEC-ALPHA Release 2, available from its own thread on Themes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarianoGF Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) Hi @Colin Nicholls and thanks for this incredible guide. Just one question that I couldn't find. In tungsteen theme there are a some special details which are not in Mercury theme. One of them is the console gain an pan indicative color (I paste the example in "young lady's" purple). Do you know if is it possible to change their color? Thanks::. Edited March 25, 2021 by MarianoGF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Nicholls Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 Hi @MarianoGF, you can totally change this indicative color but it is baked into the knob strip images, and isn't a separate color value that you can just change. With a good image editor you can edit the image and adjust the hue, saturation, etc to suit your needs. It's not ideal but it can be done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starship Krupa Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Regarding p. 44 of TYLIP, it describes the Plug-In Tree Icons image (which I gratefully swiped from you for Racing Green). It also halfway down the page states "These are also used for icons in the 'Add Track' instrument selection drop-down menu." I can't find that, or maybe I just don't understand it. Colin, can you clarify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starship Krupa Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 In the interests of helping to keep TYLIP up with the most current developments, I wish to inform the author that as of 2021.04, the Arranger Inspector's background now follows Background #1. This caused me a bit of consternation with Racing Green, as the color I was using for Background #1 looked a tad gaudy when applied to such a large expanse. I had to tone it down. Most STH lords and ladies don't go as far as I do with Background #1, so it likely won't be an issue for most themes. Another suggestion I have for future editions of TYLIP is a mention of the Theme Editor Toolkit folder found in Cakewalk Content\Cakewalk Themes. Within this folder the intrepid theme creator can find 20 different complete sets of Console faders (I use 02 in my custom theme, and also recommend taking a look at 07 if one would like a change from the standard faders). There are also 39 sets of Console and Track meters in a variety of colors including green, white, purple, yellow, orange, and blue. All of them of course fit with no alteration needed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that even mentioned in the release notes? I see an under-stated note about Plug-in menu enhancements, this must be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They finally dumped the XP-era code for the fly-out plug-in menus. No matter how many folders and plug-ins one has, the menus fit on the screen without the need for scrolling.
