Canopus Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Depending on selected track colors, the knobs sometimes almost disappear into the background due to lack of contrast. I know we’re all waiting for enhancements to the color settings, but in the meantime, maybe just a simple black circle could be added around each knob? I think that would improve the contrast quite significantly without that much effort. Something like this: 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starship Krupa Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 I think this is a great idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvatore Sorice Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 I agree. Excellent (and hopefully easily to implement) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Elmore Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Looking very closely at the existing knob, there is already a circle (actually an arc) all the way around the knob. It is orange in the region from zero to the current setting, and dark gray around the remaining part. The dark gray part of the arc is barely visible because it is almost exactly the same color as the face of the knob. If the dark gray part of the arc were simply changed to black, it would look like this: That would improve visibility without taking up space for an additional arc.

Base 57 Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 I use the Tungsten Classic color scheme. It has a black ring around the knobs that look exactly like the mock-ups above. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you might wonder, why didn’t they do that in all colour schemes? Personally, I would have kept the gray circle and put an additional black circle around it, just like in my mock-up. None of the colour schemes have that, but I think it would add some depth to the knobs for even better contrast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had not noticed it before, but I think the black rings are probably the reason I chose to use Tungsten Classic.

sjoens Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 IIRC Tungsten Classic was added to the list because of these very reasons, but was not one of the original themes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
