I can't find an acceptable color theme. Need more options to customize colors (like CbB)

I can't find an acceptable color theme even after tweaking my monitor settings: 

1. In PRV note names are hard to read in dark themes.
2. In Track View, notes are hard to see in light gray theme.

@jimlynch22  Given your constraints I recommend you stick with Mercury or Mercury classic.

In PRV, If you are a fan of "light background PRV" - like me - it's about your only sane choice.

In Track View, you can adjust the data zoom level (as I think you have done, I think) to make the note blobs larger, and choose track colors that improve the contrast of note blob to background.

Thanks, I think this is the best option for me. I didn't like it at first, because I use Snap to Scale all the time and the illegal notes for a scale are super heavy black, but I guess I can used to it. Thanks for your helpful suggestion.

This is interesting.  I have never used snap to scale.  I need to check it out.   I can see where people can differ about these heavy black lines.  Personally, they seem sort of helpful in knowing what notes are not subject to the snapping.

Ugh, I've never used it. Yeah that's suboptimal for me too. I don't know whether we should log bugs/feature requests for individual color tweaks or just group them all under a general "hurry up with user color customization already" thread.
