Dark Mode Question - Tracks appear muted

[Lincoln Mitchell]

With dark mode, my tracks look visually similar to if they were muted. When I click on them them appear "normal".

Visual issue only - anyone else see this?

Dark mode......Hmmmm.....interesting Okay, back to your question. Which version of PT are you running? Since Dark mode's introduction, each subsequent release has improved it a bit. The latest(2021.6) adds a serious bunch of options with an expanded menu and those settings are well worth checking out. Next; your monitor can have a huge affect on PT, especially if you use a TV as I did for several years, so maybe fuss with brightness and contrast a bit. Personally, I keep trying Dark mode and keep going back to Classic mode(which you can do on the first tab of Preferences).

Thanks Albee,
sorry if the set up is vague -

I'm on the latest version of PT - It's not the monitor or Display settings within PT.

Imagine a midi clip - it appears as if it is inactive (visually only) but if I click on it, it become "highlighted" or "selected" and in this state it appears to be what I would consider the normal view.

It may be this is just the new normal, I was just hoping I could reverse the views.

This may be a better description -

The clip is dark, the note has color.

Rather than the clip having color and the note being dark.

You can change that in the Color Palette settings. Fiddle around with them while a full session (MIDI & Audio Clips, Folder Tracks, etc) is open and see what you like. Remember to save, and use the UI saving fix (see pro-tools-expert.com) if you haven’t done that yet, and are using a Mac.
