Default MPH_Default_5 Reaper Themes (Default/Default Dark/Default Flat/Default Flat Dark)

My simple tweaks to the excellent Default V5 theme. Thank you White Tie!!!

I used the Default 5.0 Nitpicky Edition as a starting point. Thank you Lokasenna!
(I switched back to the Default 5 silver volume knobs and rec mon elements)

My goal was for a simple / clear / clean theme for my personal taste and use. I edited / tweaked / removed... Sir WALTER / colors / images / lines / outlines / layouts / meters and anything else I could mess with...

There are only Standard (large size) and 3 Strip MCP layouts. Customized to my preferences and uploaded here in case anyone can make use of them...

Master TCP:
⦁ Standard
⦁ Standard + Value Readouts
⦁ Compact
⦁ Compact + Value Readouts
⦁ Full Meter

TCP:
⦁ Standard
⦁ Standard + Value Readouts
⦁ Compact
⦁ Compact + Value Readouts
⦁ Meter
⦁ Meter + Value Readouts
⦁ Big Meter
⦁ Big Meter + Value Readouts
⦁ Separator

ENVCP:
⦁ Standard
⦁ Compact

Master MCP:
⦁ Standard
⦁ Standard - Black Fader
⦁ Standard - Blue Fader
⦁ Standard - Red Fader

MCP:
⦁ Standard
⦁ Standard - Black Fader
⦁ Standard - Blue Fader
⦁ Standard - Red Fader

⦁ Strip
⦁ Strip - Just The Track Name
⦁ Strip - Separator

Transport:
⦁ Standard


⦁ I removed the rec mode & input FX elements from the TCP & MCP layouts.
(These can be easily accessed by right clicking on the track's meter or rec arm button)

⦁ The MCP rec input, pan label and volume label are visible at all heights.

⦁ Disconnected (moved) the track rec arm in the MCP from the volume background. Same for the settings button in the Master MCP.

⦁ MCP & Master MCP have options for black, blue and red faders (taken from the default V5 session mixer).

⦁ Lightened the TCP & MCP track panel background (section where the elements are) for the default / default dark versions.

⦁ Lightened the default color for the TCP & MCP track panel backgrounds.

⦁ The item background color is full strength and matches the track number field in the default / default dark themes and the whole track background in the default flat / default flat dark versions.

⦁ The item select background matches the TCP & MCP select backgrounds.

⦁ The Track title font is now WALTER font 8 in the Theme Tweaker.


There are 4 versions (variations). They all have almost everything in common...

Default / Default Dark / Default Flat / Default Flat Dark

⦁ The flat versions have simplified TCP / MCP backgrounds that let the full color through. It's best to use light / low saturation colors so the TCP / MCP elements don't get over powered.

⦁ The dark versions have the arrange colors adjusted for stealth work!


***12/13/15 UPDATE:
⦁ Fixed a couple of minor label margin / alignment inconsistencies.

***12/15/15 UPDATE:
⦁ Added Separator (blank panel) layouts to TCP & MCP.

***12/21/15 UPDATE:
⦁ Edited the background of TCP / MCP folder images to match the darker theme background.

⦁ Fixed TCP meters in the Standard / Compact layouts (left meter was wider than right meter).

⦁ Changed the TCP / Master TCP width center line color to match the MCP width center line color.

⦁ Other minor tweaks / changes...

***12/23/15 UPDATE:
⦁ Corrected inconsistencies with the folder alignment setting between layouts in the TCP / Master TCP / ENVCP. I used 'set f_align [1]' (line up all of the elements) as the folder alignment setting for all TCP / Master TCP / ENVCP layouts.

⦁ Tweaked the ENVCP layouts to better match TCP / Master TCP layouts.

⦁ Some other minor image / layout tweaks...

Fairly pleased and saved Dark version for testing. Watched enough of these Threads to know everyone has their personal preferences they should tweak as they choose.

Having said that, I prefer WT_Imperial (for my twin monitors) because The Master Mixer, Mixer, Track backgrounds have 'dark' Layout choices. Your Silver default has merit, for sure, but just too much contrast .. as I judge a 'Dark' Layout. Very early now, so I'll watch how things evolve.

Thanks for fine work on this Theme! I expect you will continue to get strong support.

Regards,

This is very interesting. Nice job.

I have a question. How do you control the percentage of color that comes through on TCP & MCP?
