Re: 2021.6 Colours are different
Since we're so customizable, it would be great to have an option for the Track Header color to match the Track Body color.
For the track body on the dark blue square third from the bottom right to be the same color as the bright blue fourth from the top right is very challenging.

Re: 2021.6 Colours are different
I too am struggling with this issue. If I set the color preferences so that the track header color matches the actual color picked in the color palette with dark colors, than the lighter colors are too dark and vice versa. Makes it more difficult to tell groups of tracks apart especially when using similar colors next to each other.

Re: 2021.6 Colours are different
I guess I don't understand why matching the header and channel color is an issue ? But then I don't deal with that many tracks, and I tend to use Routing folders that are a version (darker or lighter) of same color as the associated tracks in them , to differentiate different groups that are in the same musical categories
So for example below all my guitar tracks are light powder blue their routing folders are a darker blue the VI folder is bright yellow the instrument tracks in that folder are a light green the vocals are magenta etc. Sorry about the un resized bottom but is more like the color difference and clarity I see on my screen

Re: 2021.6 Colours are different
I am definitely annoyed and frustrated by the new inability to match the track headers to the rest of the track and waveforms, and I don't want to get used to it, so could you please fix this!!!

Re: 2021.6 Colours are different
Me too, FWIW
It used to be clear which channels were the darker colours (bottom rows of colour palette) vs top row lighter colors, and now they look barely distinguishable. it makes colouring for easy grouping and identifying much less useful.

Re: 2021.6 Colours are different
I'm glad that others are experiencing what I'm seeing here.
This is quite unworkable when using lots of tracks, especially when using different shade of the same colour to denote different instruments. I don't understand how the track headers are the 'correct' colour but the body of the tracks is different.

Re: 2021.6 Colours are different
the entire color palette needs to be customizable now, so that any color including grayscale options can be dialled in. how about a legacy pallette / custom palette preference. keep it simple for those who never get into this stuff, but total control for those who do.
and why are folder track border widths different for the right side than the left ? there's no consistency in this GUI design. and don't get me started on how the Mix window jumps down when expanding a folder, the single most annoying "feature" they've ever introduced. any more than 2 nested folders and you can't even re-click in the same place to collapse the folder again. simple solution, get rid of the top color strip for folder tracks. and why are the curved portions of the "dyn" oval indicator all displaying chunky bit-mapped curves, yet the folder icons do not ? yes, I'm looking forward to 2032.6 Last edited by Tweakhead; 07-27-2021 at 07:34 AM. |
