As I'm making yet another sweep through all my images I decided to tackle something that has been bugging me and couldn't suss out.

I don't really like the V6 default slot for the fader, or the V5 for that matter. In the end, because I couldn't work out the relationship between the mcp_volbg image and its associated images for the meter and the fader, I decided to use the "naked" version, which gave me this:-



Note that the slot for the fader is a 3px wide grey line.

I wasn't sure what I wanted, really, just not the V6 and V5 thin dark line.

I also don't like the way that the fader slot background is tinted when there is automation on the track. Not the tint itself, but the width of it. This is V5 but V6 is similar:-




So I had a bash and created a new mcp_volbg image:-



and I fattened up my fader a tiny bit:-



And this is how it now looks in the MCP:-



If automation is added to the track the tinting now looks like this:-





What is still bugging me is that I have to do a lot of trial and error stuff to make things fit together. I am hoping that one day I will be able to create images like this without going backwards and forwards changing pink line positions and moving stuff around.


I realise that I'm probably talking to myself by now, but if you did get this far, thanks for reading my stuff


cheers
