Confirmed. Document updated to reflect, and uploaded. Take as many internet points as you can hold in your fist, from this narrow-necked jar.

Okay this took some time to figure out. Using a new empty project: A new, empty track will show Impression 1. When you Archive it, it will show Impression 5. (You can't Freeze it, no clips) Recording a clip into the track with show Impression 6. A second, new empty track shows Impression 1 (of course). If you drag a clip from another track into it, it shows Impression 6. Archiving or Freezing these tracks will show Impression 6. So, I think this is explicable, expected behavior, and we can document it as such. HOWEVER. I have my Theme-testing project that, when I open it in Cakewalk, shows an Archived track, with clips, showing impression 5: If I un-archive it, it shows Impression 1 (but it has clips!!!!) If I freeze it instead, it shows Impression 5 again! This is the only track that behaves that way. So, for some reason Cakewalk is confused about the status of the track and is using take lane button impressions as per an empty track. I'm gonna go with "Cakewalk is confused about this specific track. See above for normal, expected behavior". I guess YLIP needs another update. Thanks for keeping me honest.

Hmm, you might want to double-check that. My research indicates that impression 5 is used when the track is Archived. Frozen tracks show impression 6. However, I do see that the YLIP doesn't reflect this, so I'll update the doc, and award you 1 internet point.

Hi Simon, Unfortunately Bandlab doesn't make these types of resources available. So the only way I know of obtaining such without actually putting in the work to create them yourself, is to ask nicely if an established theme designer is willing to share here on the forum. Personally, I have spent countless hours building libraries of multi-layered versions of many, if not most, of the Cakewalk graphics. Forgive me for not wanting to just give them away at this time. One trick you might find that meets your goals with minimal work is to find an existing theme with images that are close, and use your graphic editor's hue transformation tools. Paint.Net allows you to take an image and move the values through RGB space; along with gamma and brightness, contrast.... you can achieve a lot with just a flat image and comprehensive transformation tools.

You misunderstand me. The colors of the slider (or text) for all controls can be changed to whatever color you like, so long as they are all the same color.

We do. They can't.

Erik, your tweak for the clips is definitely working for the max.wave option. There's a lot to like in this theme, and as I've said before I'm loath to be critical but we all have to recognize the theming is intensely subjective and everyone is different. The clip background color is, to me, not quite right. In the context of the application UI, they seem "washed out" to me. If I wanted to use the theme, I would abandon the "dark on selected" goal and flip it so that the clips were normally quite dark, almost black, and then get successively washed out as they unsolo/mute/archive etc. I find the PC EQ Grid on console view strips too bright, especially on strips that don't have PC enabled. I'd go darker on the grid lines. But that's me. I'm not designing the theme, you are.

I like your style. It would take some getting used to. I normally run with "[X] Maximize waveform height", though, and it doesn't work so well for that option. She's a hard road creating the perfect theme, boy. Good on ya, mate.

If I recall, if you put a border/transparent row of pixels down the left edge, it stops this behavior - maybe you accidently did that?

It's the first time I've needed to "zoom in" on an image when pasting it into the document. Usually it's shrink to fit. I realize that my running at high PPI makes spotting things like this very difficult.

Document has been updated at the usual location

Wow. Incredibly good catch. THREE INTERNET POINTS to Matthew. I'll update the YLIP with this crucial information. ?

Um, for me in 2021.06.0.041 it still appears to be behaving as expected. I use "Lock Module Order and Centered" all the time, and the control bar background color is definitely coming from the theme's medium custom background. Are you sure about this?

I ran Cakewalk on my laptop today and noticed the console background has gone back to normal grey, from the unusual white. I have not changed or updated the theme in anyway. Or updated Cakewalk. There is definitely a random aspect to this, assuming it is the same issue which frankly I can't believe it isn't.

Well, they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery or something like that ? It's a nice theme overall.

I think it's intended to be right-hand corner triangle = Mouse Right-Click to open

Not automatically. IF you haven't bounced in the project, AND the vocal track is stored in one file, AND your replacement file is the same length, then, MAYBE you could locate the file name under the clip and then do a file system level file swap, saving the replacement as the same name as the "original".... And then maybe Cakewalk won't notice and will load the project and you will have your revised audio in situ. Let us know how you get on. Back up your project first. Including the audio. Are you using Per Project folders yet?

I've noticed this on my laptop, but not on my tower DAW. Same theme, different appearance. I couldn't figure it out. I'm glad someone else is seeing it.

You've put tons of work and care into this, and I get where you're coming from, so I really don't like to be critical. But the triangles don't quite work for me. I could get used to the Folder Open/Close, for reasons I've discussed previously, but I'm not a fan of changing the double-arrows on the track expansion/collapse. Along with the menu dropdowns, there are just too many triangles. I honestly have never used the MIDI track Arpeggiator and so can't really comment on that. I respect your work on refining the Inspector/Browser docking controls.

Sorry, I may have mis-read your previous post, when I commented about not trying to cut/past from the folder tree. You probably weren't trying to do that. Okay, here's the thing: @scook has talked about this but it doesn't hurt to repeat it: Mercury is the default, built-in theme. It doesn't exist as a .sth, it is inside the application. Tungsten is an overlay. All themes (.sth files) are an overlay to Mercury. There's only one level; if you delete an element from a theme, what remains is the Mercury version. So, if you want to take a custom theme that was based on Tungsten, and revert it to _the tungsten_ version, you need to cut-n-paste from another theme file. The easiest and surest way to do this is to create your own "tungsten" theme: Open the Theme Editor, create a new, empty theme, but base it on TUNGSTEN, not Mercury. You will end up with a theme containing all the Tungsten overlay elements. Save this as My_Copy_Of_Tungsten.sth. Now, cut-n-paste from that theme into your own LOGIC custom theme (assuming it is based on Tungsten and not Mercury which, I confess, I am not sure about). Okay?

You can cut and paste individual elements from the right-hand pane, not folders from the tree. But you can also just remove the item and it will revert to default (although, yes, it will be the Mercury default, not the Tungsten default).

I was just saying, you can do this. It's just a few extra clicks. You aren't prevented from listening to only one channel, whilst locked.

Sorry to be "that guy" but can't you just UNLOCK, then alter the MUTE on one channel, then LOCK again? Isn't that just as safe?

Take a deep breath. Most likely your project files are intact. By default, you would have had: C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\* C:\Cakewalk Content\* C:\Cakewalk Projects\* Did you copy all three folders? Did you delete the originals? Could they still be in your recycle bin?

Do you mean, show/hide the Track Inspector? Try pressing the "i" key. I recommend using the splitter bar to set the relative sizes between Track view and Console, and then get in the habit of pressing "D" to show/hide the bottom pane, leaving the Track View available in full.
