I'm trying to figure this out myself (and I've even done some themeing). It's very frustrating.
@white tie - you mention the stickies, could you be a bit more explicit for us dummies? All I could find was the below. I think us users (not themers) could do with something like "this line of code controls this font and that font - here's how you change the size, colour and font"
I'm really struggling with font size, colour and contrast. I'm sorry to compare it to Logic, but I can read everything in Logic - I don't want Reaper to look like logic, but the clarity would be nice and I feel the theme is nearly there.
Tweak : Changing colors and fonts
The most basic features of a Reaper theme reside in its .ReaperTheme file. This is just a text file; you can open it and edit it with a text editor. Open it now and have a look, see that its nothing scary or clever, though it isn't very user friendly. To help with that, Reaper provides two built-in tools to help you find which of those inscrutable entries you want to edit, and to make editing them easy.
That file determines colors and fonts used in many parts of Reaper. Note, however:
- Some parts cannot be themed.
- Some parts share font or color definitions with other parts, and occasionally in uneditable combinations that may limit you.
- More advanced theming functions may have overridden fonts and colours set here, or covered them with image files, in the Track panels, Mixer panels and the Transport bar.
What parts cannot be themed?
I know enough to know that a walter font (in the default theme at least) can control several theme elements at once, but what are they? Can we separate them?
