As far as I can tell, it just affects the corners at the top of the track pane. On 6/25/2021 at 8:05 AM, Colin Nicholls said: Wow. Incredibly good catch. THREE INTERNET POINTS to Matthew. I'll update the YLIP with this crucial information. ? On 6/30/2021 at 7:25 PM, sjoens said: Useful in squaring up those worn corners.

Especially after seeing this 1. ?

Some nice ideas here. My theme has been a very slow 6 month work in progress & will be completed probably never.

I would only use them for pedal steel tracks but the learning curve is too steep ATM for my needs. I've always used 2 or 3 MIDI tracks to accomplish the task of varying bend routines.

Care to divulge further? (if you weren't sleeping in class you'd know he already did.)

It's all in the screenshot above. 1. In the Theme Editor go to Global > Horizontal Slider. This changes the color for all sliders. The ability to change them to different colors has been removed. 2. In the theme Editor go to Track View > Unfocused Track Text. This changes the numerical value text AND a host of other text as seen on page 14 of the YLIP below:

Overtly complicated. But so was the rest of the program at one point. I tend to leave such features on the shelf until I need to figure them out or it simply hits me in the face one day just how blazingly simple they are.... so far neither one has happened for AMs.

Sadly not. The backgrounds and text aren't changeable at all. If you don't already have it, Colin's YLIP is a good source for questions like this. p. 34:

I don't think I ever found that one with Duckbar either. Black items (000000) returned an infinite search number. Same with white (FFFFFF).

Looks like once you save the project with this theme and close CbB, the next time you launch CbB the theme reverts to the default CV background. All is fine until... you reload the same theme again and it reverts to the white CV background. ???

All evidence of yesterday's rat killing has been destroyed, so I can neither confirm nor deny. BTW, Cake's "Lock Module Order and Centered" isn't exactly. I get 79 pixels on the left & 103 on the right end of the CB with 20 between modules.

... at the time I was. But trying it again it's now doing exactly what you describe.

@Colin Nicholls "About that Custom Medium Background" on p. 116... You said "This is almost certainly a bug" and it appears so. I was hoping to experiment with the unexpected effect but it no longer works as you described. IOW, it looks like they fixed it at some point. ?

There are some 500 +/- colors in CbB that could be changeable. Though it would be nice it's doubtful they will all be included.

Alienware 17 R3. It's a few years old now.

It only appears to happen when creating a new theme based on Mercury.

My mobile studio laptop has room for 2 M.2's an at least one HDD. So nice not to need an external drive anymore.

I'm surprised this hasn't come up before now as it also appears to have been an issue with Sonar Platinum themes... unless the CbB version of T.E. is somehow affecting Sonar's T.E. thru the registry or some other way. ???

Haven't noticed this, other than some colors require a program reboot or project reload to take effect. BTW, you cannot save a new theme without making at least one change. The Punch In button... or any change at all, will trigger the glitch, which is why I believe it's a bug with T.E., or its interpretation of Mercury, and not CbB. CbB simply reads the file as it's given. Also, this only happens with Mercury based themes. Tungsten causes no glitches that I'm away of.

I found you don't actually need to change or enter any values, simply open and close the color and save and you're good to go.

I only have a laptop but not sure why they'd be different. I reproduced it several times and never noticed it before this. But I normally don't use Mercury to base themes on.

I confirmed this also happens with Sonar Platinum's Theme Editor and posted a bug report in Feedback forum.

When creating a new theme based on Mercury, the Console View background and the Browser Help Module Learn More button turn white. Double clicking without changing the color Console View | Background #2 in Theme Editor restores the default colors. This also happens with Sonar Platinum's Theme Editor. Maybe a long standing issue?

As to why this happened, not sure. If you based your theme on a fresh new default Mercury, the only changes you should see are the ones you made. However, this is clearly a bug... I just created a new theme based on Mercury with the same single change you made and the CV background changed to white like yours did. The Learn More button in the Help browser also turns white. I checked the color in T.E. and it was not white. To regain the default color I had to change it to its original color for it to work. Edit: I didn't get the compatibility warning, though.
