Default Can't change MCP Fx Param List and Fx List colour | WALTER help

Hi, so I'm trying to just change the text colour in the fx parameters in the MCP:



but no matter what walter I type, what values I change, nothing happens. I've tried changing values randomly in these parameters:

mcp.fxlist.margin, mcp.fxlist.font
mcp.fxparm.margin, mcp.fxparm.font

and nothing changes at all. no margins, sizing, colour, positioning, nothing.

What am I doing wrong?

Three colors of "FX parameter text" (normal / bypassed / offline) in the theme itself (the .ReaperTheme file) - which you can conveniently edit using Actions > show action list > Theme development: show theme tweak/configuration window.

Bit of background if you're curious : try to let go of the idea that theming is done with WALTER. The theming of some things can be overridden using WALTER, it depends on the thing and the choices of the themer.

Thanks for the response White Tie! I can't find which colour to tweak though:

and yes I'm only using WALTER to make some drastic changes to the layout in other places


NEVERMIND - sorted... seems I needed to reload the mixer channel to see the changes. works now.

Though if youre able to explain how the folder pngs work in relation to the mcp I'd appreciate it because I can't figure it out

sorry, I ought to clarify:

the way in which folder indentation and the expand and collapse buttons work in the MCP.

I think I gather that you cant use a folder "make this track a folder" button from the MCP, but I'd at least like to indent the tracks upwards like the default 6 theme?

MCP folder indenting isn't something that Reaper actually does, so I fake it within the theme. See here
