Colin Nicholls Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 It's a small thing... but I would love to be able to customize the color of the cells in the color picker window that is displayed when the user presses the color marker against a track (or anywhere else the color palette is displayed). Ideally the choices should be persisted between projects (just like a user's choice of Theme or Colors from Edit->Preferences). A nice-to-have would be to be able to save and load palette selections from a file... but I'd be overjoyed with just being able to customize the default colors in cakewalk.ini or similar. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarianoGF Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) +1 They are too dark, mostly for audio tracks. Note that the same color choice results brighter in MIDI tracks. That bright level would be nice for audio tracks too. That would be enough to me. Edited May 10, 2019 by Mariano Germán Flores Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Nicholls Posted November 2 Author Share Posted November 2 Time to bump this. Obviously I'm not a fan of the default colors in the palette, and the ability to customize it would be awesome. I don't need multiple presets; I would just like to be able to modify the existing one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Baay Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 +1 A while back came up with a set of 20 brighter colors evenly distibuted across the ROYGBV spectrum that I would like to be able to set as both picker colors and as the defaults for new tracks. Right now there are only 5 default clip colors for new tracks that are repeated for tracks 6-10, 11-15, etc., and they don't exactly match the clip colors you get with any of the available track colors. FWIW, my simple scheme is to set the first track to Hue 0, Sat 181, Lum 144, and just increase the Hue value by 12 for each additional track. This makes track 20 Hue 228, Sat 181, Lum 144. In case you're wondering why only 20 colors when the picker has 24, the highest Hue value you can set is 239 which comes nearly full-circle to look just like Hue 0 with these Saturation and Luminence values. To get 24 colors you'd have to use a Hue step of only 10, and at that, the difference between adjacent colors starts becoming pretty subtle (as some of the existing picker colors are now), but you could to that.

Starship Krupa Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 I've wanted to be able to do this from about day one with using the software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
