Adam Compeau Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 http://www.mediafire.com/file/jbzjzcpkotymzup/AC_DarkAqua.sth/file Besides the standard 220.04 changes required... Contrast added to the on and off state of many buttons that were very ambiguous as to being off or on. Clarity added to several items that were blurry including the docking icons. Incorporated the Darker Pro Channel Used M- New Gen Note Duration icons for Piano Roll, etc. [ I absolutely LOVE all of the tasteful shadowing in the New Gen Theme!] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Compeau Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 I found another contrast issue with the metronome playback and record buttons. Here's the fix. http://www.mediafire.com/file/l81zy0nq3rpxiqm/AC_DarkAqua_1.sth/file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Compeau Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 This should be it for today. This is more of a minor one. Plug-In unsampling button in the mix module small state was not contrast optimized like the large state was. Thanks! http://www.mediafire.com/file/anyxar67sy5qdkd/AC_DarkAqua_2.sth/file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Compeau Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 (edited) That darn Mix Module! Some of those things I will Never Use and do not know what they are for!!! Lol Envelope offset mode made contrast fix same for big and small state... http://www.mediafire.com/file/g7q3wonsdohp1wq/AC_DarkAqua_3.sth/file Edited August 9, 2020 by Adam Compeau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 It's a good start One of the challenging things with themes is working with all the views and elements that are not part of your workflow. Looks like the PRV, audiosnap pallette and the maxtrix view are not consistent with the rest of the theme. The interleave and phase buttons on the tracks amd buses in the Track view need work too. May want to update the properties page for the theme. It is an option on the theme editor menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Compeau Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 (edited) It's funny, I opened up every view but that one it appears, however even looking at it, I would not really know what to do with it, except copy from M-New Gen that is at least a little darker? Most of the elements have something internally that is similiar I can copy from. This one looks a little more complicated... Thanks! I did update a few more of my contrast finds in as posted in my new post. http://www.mediafire.com/file/g7q3wonsdohp1wq/AC_DarkAqua_3.sth/file oops, this is that post!

Adam Compeau Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 (edited) Oh wait, maybe it is just a color pallet...I will look right now... Edited August 9, 2020 by Adam Compeau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 There are more than pallete changes. The three views I mentioned need button image changes as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Compeau Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 Oh, I see all of what you wrote now..thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Compeau Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 There are the track phase and interleave buttons. I did not always have the tracks showing all items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Another item added after SONAR is the ability to change the bar color in the performance module. You may like the default but I thought it was worth a mention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Compeau Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 That would look good, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Compeau Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 (edited) Ah, sometimes copy and paste works perfectly for phase and interleave from console view! ? Edited August 9, 2020 by Adam Compeau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol You are making excellent progress teaching yourself Theme editing!! Definitely don't neglect the family!!!!! Looking at the Matrix View, if I can keep my colors for other views (which I suspect is very possible), I might want to borrow some of your choices! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveC Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Hi Adam, I hope you don't mind but I was inspired to make a few changes to expand on the aqua elements... https://drive.google.com/file/d/1t69oJ4jkaNl34r23eiTAkLTiaHWK0-QQ/view?usp=sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Compeau Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share Posted August 10, 2020 I'll check it out later tonight.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Compeau Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) That kind of gives it a cool almost 3d effect. It also moves things away from the brown parts in a nice way. I LOVE the large Multi Doc bar with its shadowed darker look. I like the other bars and frames but would personally maybe like them a little darker or if possible shadowed like the Multi Doc Bar. I am still working on Notation window and a few others to get the fine details together. I hope you can add this as a variation when I'm done. Very Cool!

Adam Compeau Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share Posted August 10, 2020 Oh, and that Time Ruler is Awesome! I am having a hard time to look at all the brown now after seeing your update! I think this makes it easier on the eyes also, because the dividers well defined. I hope I can merge my many little edits with your big edit...

Adam Compeau Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) You would never think something like the Staff View screen would be such a challenge to modify, but man oh man, a lot of manual drawing on some items!! Going from orange to green is not so clean all the time... So, this is one of the several views I am working on and will continue for the next few days and hopefully get done. I will then hopefully experiment with the very cool coloring that Steve C worked on!!! I will likely have to go back to my previous days edits and see if I made any important omissions along the way. I am more getting the drift on how to update an entire row of items even if I do not see that all of them get used... PS. I know the note duration icons are not flat as would suit the theme more accurately..I may update them to flat latter, but they are cool...
