Default MPH V5 Themes (5 Variations) Info

I started learning about editing / customizing themes during the V5 Pre cycle... It was fun to be creative in a different arena that was also beneficial to my musical goals. I hope someone can get some use out of these themes or at least get some ideas for their own themes...

*A very special thanks to White Tie for the Default V5 theme and all of the instructions and documentation!

I used the Default 5.0 Nitpicky Edition as a starting point and tweaked from there... Thank you Lokasenna for your efforts!

*All 5 of these theme variations share the same layouts and features.

Notes:
⦁ I customized all of the main elements (and most of the other elements, too...)
⦁ There are some subtle moving parts built into some of the elements. I hope they don't offend the too serious REAPER user! B)
⦁ I squared most (if not all...) of the round elements
⦁ I only used the large layout size elements
⦁ I used the same elements in all of the TCP & MCP layouts
⦁ I removed the record mode & input FX elements from the TCP & MCP layouts
(*These can be easily accessed by right clicking on the track's meter or record arm button)
⦁ I moved the track record arm in the MCP from the volume background
(*Same for the settings button in the Master MCP)
⦁ The MCP record input, pan label and volume label are visible at all heights
⦁ MCP & Master MCP have options for silver, *black and *red faders
(*From the Default V5 theme's Session Mixer layouts)
⦁ The TCP layout elements do not move / jump around when resizing the TCP vertically
⦁ The Track title font is now WALTER font 8 in the Theme development / tweaker
⦁ The Toolbar Icons have no borders unless selected (Thanks again for the link, Pet!)

***I'm leaving the Arrange & MIDI Editor background color / darkness up to the user's preference (the Stealth theme's look great with a dark Arrange - RGB: 30 30 30) Just use the Theme development / tweaker to pick your poison... Go to the top menu: Actions > Show actions list > Filter > (type in) theme > Double click on 'Theme Development: Show theme tweak / configuration window'.
