Default [Discontinued] MyTaste / MyTaste_Light | Reaper 6 theme (UPDATE 2021-04-10)

I found this theme very easy to switch to and not feel lost.

Very clean, minimalist theme, nice. I really love the MIDI note colormap you have for pitch, great color pallete:



Though for velocity, it may be hard to tell because it's a rainbow of colors vs a gradient of faint-to-dark of one hue:

Thanks! I'm not using tcp fx controls at all, however at this point it is clickable just not shown, so it's a buggy part. If You want to see just search the "front" line is rtconfig (in this version it's row 381) and paste "tcp.fxparm". I think it should work now

I'm glad that You're said that because that was something I've always missed when I was trying the best looking themes

Thanks! It is weird because I'm using the default_6 midi_note_colormap, and for me it looks different than in your pictures. But I'm only using Color notes by: velocity not by pitch.

This looks great! I hope someone can take a stab at putting inserts and sends on the right a la realogix, as I've become dependent on that feature.

Really nice theme, very easy to navigate and feels clear and uncluttered off the bat. Nice one thanks
Edit: when clicking in the space on an expanded track it opens the fx browser. I realise this is in early stages so
looking forward to see how this elevates. Bookmarked.

Hey Martonovics, i hope it okay to ask if you can help me with something

I tried few hours to get my edited theme to have the IDX bg (track numbers background) to be colored just like in your theme and had no luck


can you check my theme and see if you can help me to get it please ?
I want only the track number's background to be colored (not all the tcp bg), just like in yours.

Hey! I tried to open the link but it looks to me that its broken or something so I couldn't get the file, but for this purpose I've used White Tie's Default V6 Modders' Supplies/"tcp colour bar" folder.

Here's the link: http://www.houseofwhitetie.com/reape...s_supplies.zip

Hi Martonovics, first of all let me thank you because your theme looks the closest to my ideal GUI among those I've found in the stash yet, be sure I'm gonna make a donation ASAP.

Moving on to the requests
Is there an easy way to have a different TCP coloring scheme? I'd really like to have the track names white and to have the TCP panel (or side) tinted instead of the track name field. Also, the custom colors I choose are darkened (I think?) and I'd like to have them unaltered.

Thank you again for your effort and sorry for asking, but I'm sooooooo close to my dream theme!!!

Thanks again

Default on downloading your update from Stash

I could not see the zip containing your updates on Stash, still only
shows version 1.0 for download.

2nd noob question: Am I meant to also download the dejavu-font attachment; or, is it packaged with the MyTaste zip already?

I just made a small update, including a folder with the pngs for fully transparent version, is that what you'd like to achieve?

I don't know If I'm doing something wrong, but yeah the name of the zip not changing, but the file is different.

You should download the font from the link, I don't know what I'm allowed to do with it so that's why I didn't uploaded

Chiming in here as I'm a serial lurker. This has to be by far my favourite theme. Simple and no-nonsense. Keep it up!

Another newb question: Where is the drop-down list in the midi editor which
shows cc lanes?

I was looking to change cc11 however the normal place on the left side of midi editor
was blank (no drop-down list). Not sure if there is an option or toggle button to use here to change this behavior.

The Default Reaper 6Theme midi editor has a drop down list for cc lanes on the lower left panel.

Can anyone tell me how to make this visible in My Taste's midi editor?

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it not should be theme related. Couldn't it be, that it's just accidentally shrunk down? Check the gif.

Martonovics, you are 100% correct! It was a-hidden. Thank you.

Hi Martonovics,

i really like your Theme! the best so far! Minimal and it helps me a lot to keep focus on music. Thanks!

One thing only: I'm using the FX visibility on TCP, do you know if there is a way to change the Background Color of the effects? Now it's really dark and doesn't fit at all with your design.

Hi, thanks! Yeah I left as it was because I didn't use them, but I see that this is an important feature for most of the people, so probably in the next minor update (in the next few days) I'll make something with it to fit to the theme. (These are the "tcp.fxparm..." pngs)

Very nice!

One little nag: TCP folder indicators for "last in folder" etc. (when trying to toggle that state) have different thresholds for TCP height, so that they can be visible/clickable. If a track's height is small enough, I can hover over the area on the left of a track and make it *not* be "last in folder", but then I can't toggle it to be "last in folder" again (etc.) until I make the track height larger.

Thanks! Yeah thats partly unintentional. I forgot to hide track_folder_last png when using the smallest tcp height. Basically I almost never use these buttons, for me dragging works better, so in the upcoming update I'll hide that too and put some instructions for people who want to use all of them. Thanks for the report!

I tend to make mistakes when dragging tracks in the TCP so I've learned to use those icons instead.

Can't make fx show on the right side of TCP, not obvious when following your instructions...
