Jerry Gerber Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Hi, I want to change the background color of the transport module in the control bar from deep black to a lighter grey because the little MIDI icon for turning all notes off doesn't display properly in one of the themes I use. When I open the theme editor and choose that background and lighten it, I save the change and then save the theme. But when I open it in Cakewalk the same pre-edited theme keeps appearing! I'm not sure I'm even editing the right background (I'm choosing Viewport Background) but even if I am not, none of the backgrounds change after saving and opening in Cakewalk. Does anyone know why this is? Thank you! Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know why this is? I tested the parameter you used; I didn't see any change.** Then I tried Control Bar > Modules > Transport > Background (small). EDIT: Just changed Background [Large]. **EDIT # 2: Just found what the Viewport Background affects. (See the third image-pink area.) I have been thinking of testing some colors for myself for a while. So thanks for giving me a convenient opportunity.

Matthew White Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 @jsg Is it by any chance one of my M-Themes this issue is in? If it is, can you let me know the name of the theme please so I can sort it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Matthew! That did the trick. I was editing the wrong icon. I imported the midi panic icon from another theme and it solved it...
