Dark theme in Pro Tools 2020.11

[Macsearcher]

For some reason, I find the bright green distracting so I've replaced it wherever I can with a more pleasing blue. This is actually the blue from the PT load screen.

Thanks. There are times real life means more than the DUC and this is one of those. It's not like those times I've taken a long leave because of burnout & such.

Interesting. I do like what you've done there and might try a few lines. (I'm referring to the code of course!)

good luck and hope this all works out! your help has been appreciated!

I need to take a break to get through this as my head is elsewheres.

Yes send my best wishes for her

I'm still refining this design.
There seems to be several elements that aren't accessible through the PTColors.txt file.
I've softened several of the text elements. I found the bright white too intense against the dark canvas.
I've also changed most of the bright green elements to bright blue. There are still many green elements that are sticking out to me but I am not able to access them as they seem like they are in the .idb files.
I'd also love to be able to modify the selected track name highlight (right now it's a glaring bright white box) but I can't seem to get at that.
Finally, I'm hoping to address the bright blue box that draws around the tracks that are currently assigned to my S3. Once again, they don't seem to be in the PTColor.txt file and they are probably embedded in one of the .idb files.

Here's a couple of screen shots as well as the pertinent lines of text.

Good stuff in there, Macsearcher. I'm swapping in a few of those. And thanks for categorizing the sections.

[Eric Lambert]

Just to point out a couple of minor things to fix in your code:

<><><><><><><><><insert slots font color<><><><><><><><
Font_InsertSend_Label_Bypassed ( 8704,47617,55552,65535 )

There's an extra space before and after the parentheses.


<><><><><> Meters number font color ><><><><><><><><>
MeterFaderTickDrawer_InactiveTickFontOutlineColor_ Mac (49344,49344,49344,35000)

There's an extra space before "Mac"

Thanks. Heard back from her today and it's not cancer thankfully given the family history with the disease. Surgery is to be early next year. This would be her seventh abdominal surgery.
