Dark Theme file tweaks
Hi Mods,
Could you make a sticky post and people can post their dark mode text file tweaks in it. And maybe the top level post could be updated with links to all the files. (I say "all" - there may be only two or three out there at the moment but it may inspire people to tweak further) Searching for them on random pages of other threads is a little tricky and having them all in one place might make it easier for people to try a few options and choose what works for them. Maybe a quick "how to" at the top of the post too. For the record - I had a minor mod working where the clips were "classic" and everything else was dark mode. I persevered with it for a couple of months but I'm back to classic now. But I'm sure there's a tweak that would work for me. Thanks

Re: Dark mode forum thread request
This was attempted before and it didn't get much traction. And since the latest release, and Avid's dark mode tweaks, people are far more content. I've abandoned my customized text file because there's no longer anything about Avid's that I don't like. They've done a solid job with it, though part of that is me having grown accustomed to it. Someone entirely new to DM may still have a slight adjustment to make.

Re: Dark mode forum thread request
With 2021.6, we will get the ability to customize the color setting!
Improvements To And Customisation Of UI The Dark User Interface (UI) Theme was introduced with the release of Pro Tools 2020.11. An inconvenience associated with this was the fact that it was necessary to restart Pro Tools to toggle between Dark and Classic Themes. With the release of 2021.6, it is now possible to switch between UI Themes dynamically. Change the theme in Preferences and the UI will now update without a restart. However, with Pro Tools 2021.6, the UI customisation now goes much further. For a long time, it has been possible to adjust the colour and saturation of various elements of the UI such as tracks and clips. UI customisation has been further extended to enable the customisation of the colour, brightness, contrast, colour and saturation of almost everything. Using the updated, and greatly extended colour palette, it is now possible to set up and store custom UI presets between Classic and Dark Themes UI Theme Customization Parameters General Text Brightness Background Brightness Tracks Track Header Brightness Track Header Saturation Edit Selection Timeline Brightness Inactive Track Brightness Inactive Track Saturation Clips Waveform Brightness Background Brightness Grids Brightness (Grid Mode) Brightness (non-Grid Mode) Automation View Waveform Brightness Waveform Saturation Line Brightness Line Saturation Background Brightness Analysis/Warp View Waveform Brightness Waveform Saturation Analysis Marker Brightness Analysis Marker Saturation Background Brightness

Re: Dark mode forum thread request
Check out this video which shows the new UI customization in 2021.6. Perhaps you are referring to this thread? If not we can search further - it should not have been deleted (provided that it followed the Terms Of Use).

edit for additional: Watched the video and while it's neat one can do certain things there's a whole bunch missing as regards title bar colors, disabled plugins being more obvious (I made them red) and text edits around the meters making them sharper than the mushy representation Avid gives us. See the screenshots that I and Kevin Roche posted in that aforementioned megathread. As to whether I'll update to 2021.6 that depends on whether I can still get in and make the edits needed.

Re: Dark mode forum thread request
PLEASE ask then devs to allow us to change the background of the MIDI Editor separately from the Main Edit Window. I like my Main Edit Background a little more on the Dark Side, but past a certain point, it inverts the BlackNote-WhiteNote shading in the MIDI Editor, which is a real mental mind****.

Re: Dark Theme file tweaks
I like most of what they have done with Dark Mode. But there is one thing that really bugs me. Perhaps there is a preference or setting somewhere that will eliminate my beef. I looked around but couldn't find anything.
On the mix and edit windows the part of the scroll bar that you grab to move around a session is dark grey. That's OK with me except that the background of the scroll bar is a slightly darker grey. So I'm always struggling to find the part of the scroll bar to be dragged around a session. It this just me? Or are other people struggling with this. I've attached a screen shot to show what I'm talking about. I really wish they would add some contrast to these 2 colors. Thanks Fuzzyc

Re: Dark Theme file tweaks
I have the same issue. It appears that avid can customize their parts but that the colors have no effect on the scroll bars which is possibly part of the OS. It’s enough of an issue that I may have to go back to light mode.
