Default AddFx-Window - How to change the background color?

Hi,
Does anyone know how to change
the background color of the AddFX-Window,
which is by default grey?
I'm testing reaper433pre17b.

Of course you can, by editing the main Reaper.exe

Use any crappy Resource hacker and you can do that.

Here is a screenshot where I changed the Fx broweser Window to show the FX filter Search at the top instead of the bottom

Using resource editors you can add a resouce PNG or BMP behind as a secondary layout resource at location : Dialog/132 that is where the FX dialog Window is located in Reaper.exe

So the answer is YES

Screenshot is from a very older desktop here that I run my Mods, tweek tests, hacking files, Hardware mods designing ( Maya 5) and Circuit Wizard to do all my Electronics Mods and Wiring layouts and Circuit Simulation

Old XP desktop so you can see where I do all hobbies is really an ancient Desktop but it runs good and has never failed since XP was first installed on it back in 2001 LOL.

So every time you update Reaper you will have to edit the executable...
That is really not a viable solution - especially if you follow the pre forum.

If somebody wants to go that path, I would recommend to use custom win theme instead. You can find lots around the nets. Maybe even try this one.
It was made for older version of RADO and is really dark...but it just might work for some themes.

Cockos can open up those settings but they chose not to.

If you open up Reaper.exe using resource hacker it takes less than 20 seconds if you are quick, to change the background on the FX Browser

Dialog/ section 132 is where the FX browser section is.

So I have modded reaper a lot on my "Special version" pulled a lot of crap out like most useless menus and other things.

I think that cockos should make a full standalone Theme Editor for Reaper, thus allowing those options ...

That is FX browser on the screenshot. I think the OP was referring to the Add FX window

edit: ok, I think I got con confused there...Add FX indeed can be perceived as FX browser...I guess I confused it with track FX window

Hi gpunk_w,
Many thanx for your help

@Breeder

@Qdanfuerth
I'm allways ready to laugh about a good joke or even about a dirty joke. And if you guys would have helped, your jokes would have been ok.
But it seems to be, that you are some testosteron-driven young egos, who amuse themselves best at the expense of others.

Wow. I am so sorry you took me so seriously. I do not take myself that seriously. I consider us all just family here.

Sorry if it ruined your day.

You got your answer. Are you being this way because it's negative? We have nothing to do with it, it's the way things currently work.

edit: ok, I think I got it...you asked how to color FX browser and named it Add FX, I mistakenly thought you wanted to color track FX window.
None the less, your response was rude and unnecessary.

As your last response was a bit more conciliatory, I answer again:

I didn't name it, the devs did:

Again: Not your jokes were rude, but the total ignoring of the question of the original poster! Maybe, the urge to make some jokes was so strong, that you actually misunderstood the question.
Anyway, this was the rudeness I reacted to.
BTW...this was the very first time in this forum, I was rude, I just couldn't resist . But probably you are right, it was unnecessary.

Oh I am really curious about that. Do you mind explaining how to do that? Is it in the rtconfig.txt file of my theme?
