Default The Dumping Ground

Hi Peeps,

Well... What can I say... I have been inspired to have a bash at creating a new theme primarily based on the REAPER V6 default theme.

Initially I will be using all the images supplied with the R6 default theme. So a question on that would be around "intellectual property."

Is it safe to use those images as-is and just credit the source, ie, Cockos?

It isn't like I will be offering my new theme for others to use as it will be an entirely personal thing based on my very simple needs.

As for the rtconfig text file, I am pretty much going to attempt to build that from the ground up and become more familiar with WALTER, at least the bits that I need to build a basic theme.

So I thought I would start off this topic in order to track my progress and I hope Peeps don't mind.


Wish me luck!

I could get bored very quickly haha!


cheers

andy

Best of luck! I have a work in progress too, but I've already spent too much time getting little bits of info here and there, tweaking this and that, and it's driving me dizzy...

...v6 is a long way from being usable for me, and I'm quite happy with my customized v5, so I'm going to wait until the dust settles.

For example, I finally had the TCP looking how I like, with grey unselected tracks and white selected tracks, with the colors only visible in the track number box, but the color does not move with the track when indented in a folder. Most frustrating.

So I'm done tripping on it for now. I really appreciate the new MIDI CC envelopes, and Reaper 6 works great with my v5-based theme. So I'm good.

Hi Quasar

Thanks.

Time wise, yeah, I probably should be making music not faffing with code I don't understand for the most part. I will probably give this new focus another couple of weeks and then start making music in the new year.

I, too, think the V5 theme works well with V6 and I could simply stick with that. But once I get my teeth into an idea I generally obsess over it. Woke up for a pee at 04:30 then couldn't get back to sleep because I had this idea going round in my head. So I got up and three hours later I am still here, learning a bit at a time

cheers

andy

Please share your knowledge with us, especially walter related - any tips, tweaks are most welcomed. I made a thread for that, to have them in one place https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=228367

Thank you

Pffft no, just get on with it As long as you're making a Reaper theme, its all fair game.

If you make a mod of a theme and pass it off as your own creation, people will think you're lame. If you use bits from a non-cockos theme and don't credit the creator, people will think you're an arse. But you're not going to get into trouble. Its only if you use cockos material in non-Reaper content, or if you start selling themes containing other people's work, that there will be anything to be concerned about.

Have fun!

Default -= YuriOl Mix 6 Light =-

This is a really nice theme. Works well for me, especially using ReaTune since it retains the light background on the Manual correction part of the plugin.

Thanks for providing the links.

I will probably develop my own images as I go along. But they will not hold a candle to anything else done around here.

By the way, I'm going to change the title of my original post to reflect that for some reason my topic has become a dumping ground for someone else's theme...
