I've not really questioned this until now.
I'm talking about the global setting tcp_heights.
From the WALTER themer's guide:-
Quote:
The tcp_heights gives you control over the height your TCP track takes in various circumstances.
tcp_heights a b c d
The four values are:
a : Supercollapsed - the height of any track that is inside a folder, when the foldercomp button has been pressed twice.
b : Collapsed - the height of any track that is inside a folder, when the foldercomp button has been pressed once.
c : Small - one size above minimum size when doing cntrl+shift+up.
d : Recarm - height of a record armed track.

Okay, I am okay with "a," "b" and "d."
But "c : small" has got me totally flummoxed.
I could just ignore it but I'm a dog and this has become my bone.
Woof!
First, here is the line from the default V6 theme:-
tcp_heights 4 25 50 64
And from the default V5 theme:-
tcp_heights 4 24 35 58
I'll work with the V5 theme...
So, to reiterate, C = one size above minimum size when doing ctrl + shift + up
what is "one size?"
Well, it ain't "b."
From the smallest size, as set by "b" (not supercollapsed, which can only be achieved with a folder) my track is 24px high.
With 1 x ctrl + shift + up the track height increases to 29px
With 2 x ctrl + shift + up the track height increases to 35px
With 3 x ctrl + shift + up the track height increases to 46px
With 4 x ctrl + shift + up the track height increases to 58px
With 5 x ctrl + shift + up the track height increases to 73px
It takes 2 x ctrl + shift + up to get to 35px, which is set by "b."
Let's change "b" to 36.
With 1 x ctrl + shift + up the track height increases to 30px
With 2 x ctrl + shift + up the track height increases to 36px
With 3 x ctrl + shift + up the track height increases to 47px
With 4 x ctrl + shift + up the track height increases to 58px
With 5 x ctrl + shift + up the track height increases to 73px
Now let's change "b" to 37.
With 1 x ctrl + shift + up the track height increases to 30px
With 2 x ctrl + shift + up the track height increases to 37px
With 3 x ctrl + shift + up the track height increases to 47px
With 4 x ctrl + shift + up the track height increases to 58px
With 5 x ctrl + shift + up the track height increases to 73px
Well, there is a pattern there, I suppose, but not what I expected.
The 4th ctrl + shift + up seems to match the "recarm size."
And regardless of the "small" size, the 5th ctrl + shift + up = 73px
If we set "b" back to 35 and increase the "recarm size" to 60, the 4th ctrl + shift + up makes the track height = 60px and the 5th ctrl + shift + up = 75px. So at some point the "recarm size" plays a part.
Anyway, if you got this far then you're as mad as me
Good night
