Default Track color of the meters (WALTER)

Hi!
Is it possible to change meters color according to track color?

I'm trying to customize my own theme now and find option to use track color information for coloring different elements, it work for track labels perfectly. But fo meters it works only when i press rec.
Is there any way to automatically update this?



Thanks!

There is no way. You could make custom action to load next and previous theme (aka theme refresh) and refresh each time you change track color, or "make action like make track red and refresh theme" but thats what I call a "maka gigi", it is pointless.

Probably it is about meters refresh rate and a way that it works.
You could ask for this function to work proper in FR secrtion and wait about a year but I advice to abandone this thing for now.

This is a bug, or perhaps more accurately the 'lack of a feature' ...the meters are a special case when it comes to redraws, so things that work elsewhere not working with meters is too common for any example to strictly be describable as 'unexpected'.

Reaper minimises recalculating things, and its being efficient by not checking whether something has changed in the meters during normal use. Record arm always causes changes in the meters, so that is when Reaper examines the meters and sees that you have done a ?trackcolor_valid check, or that the custom color has changed, or whatever.

You could report this as bug, that would be valid. However, equally valid would be the response that you, as a themer, could avoid this by not trying to do that

Looks great!

How did you accomplish the coloring below the volume fader?
WT recently spoke of 2 methods: hiding a full-size, attached colored item below other elements, or creating a massive knob_stack.

https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=234760

Wondering if you did one of those, or perhaps another method.

Thanks!
