Re: Okay, so I like Dark Mode but...
Can you post a pic? Happy to be wrong on this.
I thought you altered the GUI though, no?

Re: Okay, so I like Dark Mode but...
I already posted a grab of my MIDI editor screen; here's another. Yes I did change some of the gui elements but nothing in the MIDI editor screen. I did lighten the overall canvas background in the Edit screen.

Re: Okay, so I like Dark Mode but...
In investigating this I found an anomaly with the MIDI editor screen and the colors. Like I did when I was making the initial dark mode file changes I'd look at a line that seemed logical to change for what I wanted to happen. This time I looked at the lines around:
ctrackMIDIbackgroundunvoiced dark ctrackMIDIbackgroundunvoiced light Changes to these above two didn't seem to show anything onscreen However when I looked at these lines: ctrackMIDIbackgroundvoiced dark ctrackMIDIbackgroundvoiced light And made changes to the first line it made a huge difference in visibility of notes in the MIDI editor screen. Where the anomaly comes in is when looking at existing MIDI in either MIDI or Instrument tracks the change doesn't show. But if I create a new MIDI or Instrument track and either create new MIDI notes or drag in MIDI from another track it shows the change to the file. Specifically I changed ctrackMIDIbackgroundvoiced dark from: 17476,17476,17476,65535 to: 40000,40000,40000,65535 to make the visibility change. Here's a screengrab with the change made to the above line on a new track: More when I know more. |

Re: Okay, so I like Dark Mode but...
Wow, that's a lot better, and you picked a note color that doesn't usually read too well.
For sure everything depends on what color the track is, as you say, so I may have to switch my prefs from random colors to a set color for all MIDI tracks. (Oh, but then I can't display multiple tracks in the MIDI editor with each track a diff color.) My monitor brightness (Apples 27" Thunderbolt Display) and is fully calibrated.

As far as some colors not reading well that depends on several factors: brightness & contrast of the screen, room light and color sensitivity. For instance my wife is extremely sensitive to color differences and she picks out things other people might not see. And that's across the color spectrum. I know you've seen the last screen grab I posted - like I said it looks nothing like your MIDI editor screen. The header for instance is WAY different than mine. I even put back the original dark mode file thinking there was a glitch in mine but it's still the same (aka different than yours). So it's NOT something in my file. BTW when i installed 2020.3 and then 2020.3.1 I liked what Avid did for the track display and grid lines in the Edit screen I left them alone and didn't change them like I did in my first modded dark mode file. If you want my file drop me an email at a regular email address and I'll send it to you. |

Again not at my studio but I also do not remember the black key lines being the track color in the midi editor ?? I also set the midi track color to what the VI instrument is . Drums brown , Keyboards bright light green, Strings yellow, Bass dark purple , etc. And they all show fine in multi track in the midi editor ???
