That is not a foregone conclusion - I am a yes, so is Kenny and I take it you are too?

That would make it stand out less as a dynamic action; less would change, particularly with the full-strength custom colours.

I've no ideal what that might be, could you post a screenshot please?

Sometimes though the font is very bright white on some TCP/MCP backgrounds, but not very bright on others, making it really stand out on some.

I have yet to meaningfully test this on Linux; I have the means to specify fonts specifically for Linux, I just haven't done it properly yet. Last time I looked my choices were a bit limited, but hopefully that will solve much of this.

Thanks a lot for your image, it has allowed me to replicate this nasty. I hadn't realised it was with the name flipped to horizontal. I'll get on the fix!

An IO button at 200% is 8000 pixels. The param knob is 290,000 pixels

This becomes an issue when you set the volume size to 190 (in order to have a fader that spans most of the tcp) which (on my current setup) creates a blank space around 100px wide (I think) which is roughly the same size as the automation, pan and width knobs combined, but there's no way to move them into that space, instead they're pushed onto the line below.

Not sure if I'm understanding you; give it a bit of this?

Worry not! This is entirely because the minimum height definition theming doesn't yet respond to HiDPI. So its just culling out 150% size buttons in a 100% sized track. Just a matter of waiting for the devs to get to this, there are a million jobs to do, adding HiDPI functionality to Reaper is a gargantuan task.

I always do that, its just a matter of level of contrast. This is an extremely old discussion we've had many, many times The compromise is this: the more obvious you make the borders, like I'm trying here, you more obvious it is when Reaper fluffs them. As noted by _Stevie_ here, for example :

Now; I know what you're about to say But my job is not "do thing, and then make a feature request to make it not look wrong" its "do things as well as possible making as few feature requests as possible". So the first question is, assuming that, is the occasional fluffed border tolerable at this level of brightness?
