Smooth 6 - 1080P/HiDPI/Retina Theme [V2.1]

[b0se]

2.3 will be out this afternoon, just heading out for a belated valentines lunch!

[andyp24]

Wait, you don't love us too?

:-(

[vsthem]

Will you have a change log posted? Did some tweaking to 2.1 and wondering whether I'll want to update to 2.3

Yes, will note the changes. Essentially the theme has been split into two; Windows and Mac, as to have the fonts and transport working properly.

If you're Mac you won't need to change anything.

[Ideosound]

Hey B0se, could you help me with these small requests?

Can I make the transport font a larger size, is this done via rtconfig?

What is the image(s) for the Master track background? EDIT FOUND IT

Cheers

Hey b0se! Loving the 1080p theme so thanks to you and everyone who took part in building it! I can't get the Easter Egg to work on the first 1080p version though. I may be doing it wrong but once I removed the .colour part, and Zip it again, nothing happens. Anyone got it to work on 1080p?

Yes, you can make the font bigger. Edit the rtconfig and search for line 1578:

 size  status    6   5   450 20 ; transport font: Frozen Crystal ; b0se

Change the 20 to a bigger value.

Apologies in the delay, been a tad busy the last couple of days! Glad you fixed it.

On that note - there shouldn't be a box around the transport text.

Did you change that yourself?

I'll get that sorted for v2.3 (ready soon).

Wow this is simply a better looking & feeling Reaper. Doesn't feel like a gimmicky theme "on top" like so many do but it's really something else. Amazing work!

I think this is probably since I'm using Mojave's dark mode with Reaper and so that might section might take its colouring from a window background colour? Not sure but yeah would look better without...

I thought it was defined in rtconfig or a PNG. Will look into it, but I can't test it myself (no Mojave install). Hope it's a simple fix!

I want to get 2.3 released.

[Ideosound]

I'm using Reaper in dark mode and using your dark Smooth theme I should say. Maybe you don't get this using the normal smooth and with Reaper's dark mode disabled.

Do you still see it using the standard Smooth (light) theme while in Mojave dark mode?

Yes, also still see it if I disable dark mojave for Reaper (via Reapers prefs) which is odd. It's always there no matter what... thanks for your help if anything comes of it.

Hmmm.

Anyone else out there seeing it?

I don't see it on Yosemite, El Capitan or W10 (1080p or HiDPI).

Change the 20 to a bigger value.

Thanks for that! Is there a way to hide the transport messages like 'stopped' when Reaper isn't playing. Seems a little unnecessary.

yes, via the Transport section in the Theme Adjuster

It's not a massive problem since I normally have transport hidden and only view it when I need to see time references. However, curious if anyone else gets it.

I'm not happy about that being there, ruins the flow. I hope it's an isolated case, or at least, 2.3 fixes it.

Will also check it on my MacBook running HS.

Using the latest theme, high sierra showing this:

The brackets symbol on that font seems to have an issue.

Damn, not seen that anywhere else.

You must be using an old/outdated font on that system - I fixed that a while back.

On my macbook which isn't my main machine, the fonts were installed fresh from the folder, since it didn't say they were already installed on fontbook. However the brackets seem to work on Mojave. In any case, I've hidden the transport messages since they are pointless imo! So that is fixed just odd there's this darker grey behind the text. Might have to live with it unless there are any other solutions.

Purchased Iridescent! Nice work and vibe!

Great theme! Thanks for all the hard work!

Can anyone help me figure out why my toolbars don't have any borders around them? I've tried changing colors of what I thought was the right element, but no luck so far.

Not a huge deal, but the pics of the theme look sharper with more visually distinguished toolbars.

Thanks!

Agreed, a border would look at lot better.

BTW... here is my 200 size toolbar background:



Looks like this in context:



I hope this helps.

Fantastic theme! Classy work, b0se. Supported, bought Iridescent.

A note: when using monitoring FX, this default 6.0 theme button appears in the top right corner. Perhaps the MCP FX button could be re-used here somehow?



Thanks for all the great work. Cheers!

I'm trying to do this at the moment, whilst I can get the border on there, for some reason editing the icon (toolbar_blank.png) seems to mess up any text icons. The text goes odd, slightly blurry and less readable. Not sure why since I'm saving as a png.

Here's an example:



You can see on the top row buttons, the text isn't as clear as it should be. An example of what it should look like is shown in the red rectangle highlight. When I mouse hover over the text icon the text looks correct.

How do I enable/see that?

I had blurring issues with toolbar button backgrounds also (even with pink lines).

Prefer them without borders anyway, which is handy :¬)

Any news on when 2.3 will be released please Bose? I'm holding off installing 2.x until then, but would love the 1080 support.

Cheers

[Ideosound]

The font on the big clock I think has too wide a kerning, possibly the only fix for this is to choose a different font with less space between letters. Would this be another rtconfig tweak to change the font family? Resizing the box doesn't help. Understand most people won't use this so I'm happy to mod that for my personal use, then I don't need to see the transport at all.

View -> Monitoring FX, insert some plugin on there and the monitoring FX button should appear.

Looks like it uses the transport font - I'm not changing that! Can that size be changed in the theme tweaker or rtconfig? Never seen that pop yup before.
