Code:
rect vol_row1 w>330 w>500 [85 3 5 20 0.25 0 .75 0] [85 3 7 20 0.25 0 1 0] [0]
rect vol_row1 w>650 [85 3 5 20 0.25 0 .65 0] vol_row1
I (graphic designer and code novice) would have written as this:
Code:
set vol_row1 w>330 w>500 w>650 [85 3 5 20 0.25 0 .65 0] [85 3 5 20 0.25 0 .75 0] [85 3 7 20 0.25 0 1 0] [0]
This stumped me for ages , I think the default lists are a lot harder to understand than they need to due to the use of "react" , I still can't read the first line of code hear ware as the second makes perfect sense. We have to remember most themes don't want to get bogged down in learning more code than is absolutely necessary.

Also it would be nice if the manual included the bit on "?recarm as this pops up a lot
