Tungsten Slate

Based on Mercury... psyche!     Based on Tungsten, with perhaps a tip of the hat to Blue Aston (seriously, that blue grey is my favorite color) along with a touch of graph paper and the usual eight tweak points of improvement from the House of Colin (spot them all! No prize!)

Control Bar Select Module for 2021.01

Updated 9/20/2020:

MoShuang, the link works for me. Could there be a setting in your browser that doesn't like downloading .sth files? Try a different browser? Alternatively I could attach the theme file directly, but then it is harder for me to keep updated.

I don't know where there's a problem. The computer and the mobile phone access prompt is 404 - File or directory not found.😵

I also got a 404 error. I was able to DL the Themes pdf, not this. Also, I was able to read your blog. 

Do you have an index page with links to various resources?

I get the 404 error in another browser. I'll investigate. Sorry for the inconvenience, folks. Stand by...

I've updated the post to attach the .sth file directly. Sorry about that. I think if I zipped the .sth file it would have downloaded from the web site fine. I don't know why it worked for me when I tested it myself.

Enjoy...

I'm looking forward to giving this theme a spin.  Back in April 2018 I thought I'd give the Blue Aston theme a go ... I'm still using it.

52,   Figured I'd give it a shot.    😊

Thanks!

I've updated the link in the top post to point to the latest ZIP.

This version includes the Markers view lock indicator icon, which wasn't visible since 2020.04 bug fix. Now it should be good. It's the only change.

Do you count the swapping of Instrument and Synth track icons as one or four?

How these got to be the other way round in the stock themes is a source of bafflement to me. Why an icon that pictures both a MIDI symbol and an instrument (keyboard) would not be used for tracks that consist of both a MIDI track and a synth track....it almost seems as if it went out in error, then the documentation was written around it and by the time it could have been amended, it had Just Always Been That Way.

[Colin Nicholls 788]

Arghh, don't make me definitively list the eight standard changes I do in each theme because I'm bound to forget some and also I'm not consistent.

But one of theme is definitely swapping the Instrument and Synth Track/Header icons, for the reasons you cited.

Another is to alter the Pre/Post buttons so that they SAY "Pre" and "Post" but i stole that from Steve C in the original Polar Blue.

Verified compatible with Cakewalk 2021.04 Update #1.        ZIP refreshed just in case.

Sorry you experienced that. It's working for me now. It's possible you tried during a period of site maintenance yesterday. Give it another try, please.
