'Hide' volume & pan controls
Hello and sorry if this was already discussed.
I tried to find the information but I couldn't seem to find it.
My question is, how can one get rid of the volume and pan controls on the TCP. I always find them unnecessary since I always work with the mixer docked underneath. If I delete the PNGs, some generic controls will still appear instead. It would be really nice to have a cleaner track view with just the name and meters.
Thanks in advance.

If I press the key above the TAB key (I forget what it's called, I should know!) It collapses the TCP items to a smaller format
I like to work with that, and if you click the record enable, that opens a 'collapsed' TCP item back up

Depends on what theme you're using.
One of RADO-VOX's choices for track panels is "Minimum" - Looks like this:

When tracks are small it can look indeed like that. But when zooming the controls start to appear.
I'm using a version of the Reaper 3 Black&White theme. It still looks cleaner and much more practical on a laptop that pretty much anything else.

No, they don't, or I wouldn't have posted as I did.

Op might have missed the several options for the TCP in one theme.
Go to Options -> Layouts -> Track panel to select a different tcp layout.

ReaperMadness, I was not referring to the theme you mentioned, which I'm not familiar with, but I wouldn't want to use. I'd like to tweak my current theme to suit my needs.
Junke, I tried all layouts options, couldn't find what I want.
I checked the Walter config guide, but it's too generic, still no idea how to hide the controls. I have 0 programming skills. Maybe I don't know how to read it...
Thanks for your replies!

I feel your pain, from a glance WALTER seemed pretty deep.
You can disable mousewheel on the tcp, that helped me ignore those dials.

Open rtconfig.txt and find line that starts like this - set tcp.volume.
Then put a semicolon before it ( ; ) and save. That should do the trick.

go to theme folder, find the "rtconfig.txt"
in the TCP layout(s) that you use
replace pan and volume with :
set tcp.pan [0]
set tcp.volume [0]
i hope it helps.

Thanks guys. Nothing seems to work.
the rtconfig looks a bit different, probably because it's taken from a v3 theme:
use_pngs 1
tcp_showborders 0
mcp_showborders 0
tcp_vupeakwidth 2
mcp_vupeakheight 4
mcp_mastervupeakheight 4
mcp_altmeterpos 0
use_overlays 0
transport_showborders 1
tcp_vol_zeroline 85000000
tcp_pan_zeroline 67000000
mcp_vol_zeroline 85000000
mcp_pan_zeroline 67000000
trans_speed_zeroline 99999999

You could try replacing vol and pan control pngs with fully transparent ones.

The older v3 themes didn't really have a fully configured rtconfig file in there (if any). But as long as you use those themes in Reaper v4, you can edit and add to the rtconfig files. In the example above, just add the lines
Quote:
set tcp.pan [0]
set tcp.volume [0]
|
to the existing rtconfig file in there and that will set the pan and volume controls invisible.

I tried to replace the old ones
tcp_vol_zeroline 85000000
tcp_pan_zeroline 67000000
with the new ones, but it didn't work.
However, simply adding them as Xpander suggested did the trick.
Thank you guys! Much appreciated.

You're welcome omu. Ogibear was right about hiding the code lines by commenting them out with semicolons. In this case it didn't work since the theme was so old there were no appropriate lines to hide in the rtconfig. Setting the given controls to zero values [0] like timbralzoom suggested would've worked the same but again didn't for the same reason. It wasn't until you actually showed what all you had in the rtconfig that the solution became clear. Team work.
