Oh well, it's better but graphics really ain't my thing!

If Imperial had a little brother it wouldn't be born yet. This is the BIG brother to Imperial.

I know I'm going to say something that we are not really allowed to say, somehow, because we all have a lot of respect for white tie, and Imperial is a game changing for reaper, even in its screenshot state, and it's the father of all modern hardware-like theme, including mine, but Hell, I'm going to say it:

I came back on the imperial tread today, to have a look on the screenshots...
Man, Rea-evolution 2 looks ... better!

Mr. Data · 06-25-2012, 09:49 AM

Never mind, Pyer. You're free to express your opinions here (not like in some other forums I heard of).

However, I don't agree.

It IMO is too clean. no real hardwarish flavour in the bg-graphics. It's well-done and well thought out, but hardware doesn't look like this. What I miss is a bit of patina. And it's too grey for my taste. The world is grey enough.

I have to say, that I always had problems with blue themes, because blue IMO is such a cold color, but when I saw your API theme, I, to my own surprise, didn't ever had the feeling that this blue is cold.

What I especially like about WTs theme are the LEDs for different modes of the f-fwd, f-bwd, play and record buttons in the transport bar, because in real life the look of the buttons themselves wouldn't change either - their states would be indicated by LEDs or something else.

Well, it's all a matter of taste, Isn't it?

pyer.. thanks for putting me up to the master WT, but he is a profesional and I an amateur when it relates to graphic design ... I do not intend to overcome this with just anyone working with the reaper community and we are all happy ...

THANKS TO ALL

pyerbass · 06-25-2012, 11:45 AM

of course it's a pure master of taste, I really don't want to start a flame debate about whitch is better. It's just on a personal point of vew, I think i looks more apealing tha Imperial. and I know the real game changing ideas are first in imperial. I just think that this theme has been hatched by imperial and now it's flying from its own wings! really looking forward!
Just a question: the knobs, are they made with knobman or is there another way to make those kind of animated files?

albertxxxx · 06-25-2012, 11:48 AM

i use knobman

really is multicolored hahaha

beingmf · 06-26-2012, 12:17 AM

Hm, why – and I don't mean the colours – does the design in the OP look so much easier on the eyes, and better laid out? IMO the contrast was just perfect, this has changed now, but is that all?

Hope, you didn't get me wrong, Albert.

You really did a great job there. I wish I had your skills. I tried your theme (admittedly not the latest version), but it's just not what I want to look at when working with Reaper every day, mainly because the grey is so dominating to my eyes. Others will. BTW: I'm not sure, whether I'd use WTs pending theme either.

As I said: It's just a matter of taste. I didn't mean to denigrade your work in any way.

I am ordering my new larger monitor Monday or Tuesday, so if you COULD have a working download up by then, I would be very grateful

(Juust kidding, Albert)

jdutaillis · 07-05-2012, 06:36 PM

This is getting so good... You could replace the default for me! I'm excited!

Sigilus · 07-06-2012, 04:45 AM

that TCP looks amazing! please PLEASE keep the bright button colors as an option

Seventh · 07-06-2012, 06:36 AM

Whoa Reaper can look like that? Now if only I had a bigger monitor.. :|

billybk1 · 07-06-2012, 06:46 AM

Albert, you have crafted an awe inspiring REAPER theme made from your own vision into reality. A theming masterpiece and a true work of art. Can't wait to take her for a spin around the block!

Cheers and thanks for your herculean theming efforts,

Billy Buck

PS: It is a bit surreal, but I think this theme will compliment my new UA Apollo software console quite nicely on my desktop!

wags3d · 07-13-2012, 08:19 AM

Albert, are you going to make this into a full theme? It looks awesome, very consoley, and is my favorite of your work so far. What will it be called and when can we get our hands on it? Keep up the great work!

SpecialRich · 07-13-2012, 08:53 AM

It looks brilliant! will it be smaller screen / laptop friendly?

BenK-msx · 07-13-2012, 10:17 AM

I like this, kind of 'soft touch' look knobs..

so has anyone 'knobbed up'

- the default theme yet?

something tasteful but cool?

i thought there would posts galore on release of
'default with knobs mods' but i've only see folk going alone and keeping them to themselves..

do share...

ivansc · 07-13-2012, 01:49 PM

Albert - I now HAVE my bigger monitor and find that the FX bins above the mixer strips are all to dark and with too little contrast between strips and labels for them to be easy to see.

Maybe make the background lighter so they show up better?
Please???

Or at least tell me how I can change the colour slightly in Walter?

naxphoenix · 07-21-2012, 06:56 PM

Hey guys! First of all this theme looks totally AMAZING!!!
I just wanted to know: is this theme complete (if so where can I download it?) or is it still work in progress?

I look forward to applying this to Reaper. Its so good it looks like its gonna end up being permanent!

memorex · 07-30-2012, 12:02 PM

I really like this, too. But I think the illumination of the knobs should be as follows:

Volume: Just like you have now

Pan: Single light point following the knob as you had it before

Width: Like ED described

Everything else looks great.
