Default Olivecream II

Olivecream III available at the stash!
Updated to work with Reaper 3.1.
Get it here: https://stash.reaper.fm/theme/396/lf_...amIII_1.01.zip

Note that the screenshot below is from OlivecreamII.

==================================================
Below is the original post from version 2
==================================================

OlivecreamII is now finished and available for download.

-Updated to 1.01 for use in the new Reaper 2.45.
https://stash.reaper.fm/theme/215/lf_...reamII1.01.rar

-Minor update
Glowing transport buttons is available in an attached file at the bottom of this post.
These are overlay png-files and won't do anything destructive when copied to the theme folder. If you don't like them, they are easy to remove.

-Another minor update
Tracks panel is yellow when selected as the mixer always has been.
Download and replace the tcp_bgsel.png in your theme with the file from the attachment at the bottom of this post.

-Yet another minor update
Same as the above but I forgot to add the new "yellow when selected" tracks for the foldertrack, download the attachment at the bottom of this post.

Looks nice. Pleasant colours, with strong colours present only for active elements.

MCP Insert text "VST" looks to clutter up the area. If you're going to identify the function of this clickable area this would need an approach where nobody tries to read "VST" as a plugin name or "IO" as a send name by mistake. Is lower contrast of the text a possibility that works ?

The scrolling triangles that appear when the number of plugins is greater than the space to display them, already produce a space in all other track.

My vote would probably go for empty spaces instead of the descriptive text "VST" and "IO". There's more than VST too, so perhaps different text may hit the mark better. "FX" perhaps in wide low contrast letters is one possibility.

The main faders seem lost in the MCP. The blue label on the phase invert switch makes the text very hard to read.

The automation button colours on the TCP(which should also be seen in the mixer optionally, dear JCS) are the same and therefore very hard to read at a glance.

Looks like a very pleasant colour scheme in the arrangement area.

The transport buttons are not so clear. The border hides the contents a little.

Hi, Limeflavour.
I am not a fan of the green and pink stuff, but everything else is very classy.
I do like also the simple buttons (even if the blue is a bit bright to my taste in the overall scheme ?).
The folder icon is very nice looking, and so are the transport icons.
Nice stuff;

Hmmm, nicely defined.

One request, make sure the selected track is obvious in the main mixer. Some things should be subtle, but the selected tracks should be clear I think. Otherwise it's a pain to mix on.

The new buttons are great. I think you should use a different pan knob though. Maybe just the same but shorter and without as much of a finger curve in it.

I think different audio files are needed too. They might sue you

So far so good I guess. Agree with some comments above (VST for the label... maybe not so good)

As you know, I use reapercussion a lot, well, mostly. One big reason was your radically different and cool track monitor speaker icon. Anyhow, I'll keep checking the progress

Very cool colour scheme.

I would be slightly worried that the high contrast of the dark gray in the VU's may create a bit of a visual mess (vertical lines) when there are lots of channels. If just the channel faders are dark gray then it would be easier to separate each channel visually.

The colour fade on the selected/coloured channel is uber cool.

Keep going

This is looking very good. I'm with most of the comments as well. One additional thing: the active colors for mute and solo are to close/almost the same. On a mixer with a lot of channels this mean you have to focus to see if it's a mute or a solo that is active. I prefer the most obvious colors here; red(-ish) for mute and green(-ish) for solo

Point taken drillbit, already made the darkgrey lighter and it looks alot better now (not in the screenshot).

I'll make some green/red, Solo/mute buttons too but I think I'll keep the yellow/orange as default.

Hm, I cannot understand what are those letters on the phase-switch button (above the IO button)?!
So the rest is absolutely PRO. I like most the FX slots and the REC input buttons on the Mixer. Very good, well done!

I know the phasebutton can be a bit "unclear", I'm working on replacing the text (180 degrees) to a simpler phase icon.

Oh, now I see! It is written: 180
Not bad but also not good idea. Just if you want place the good old phase icon: Ø

And please when it is active just mirror it right-left IMHO.
I think that will be my bright theme and Newmolitic for dark theme!

Good themes! Your is on a way to be perfect.

Thanks for all positive comments and feedback but....

I'm thinking about keeping this "PRO" theme just for my self and only release it when other people makes themes that this can compete with! (Oh wait, maybe I should've blurred the sreenshot...)

Seriously, I still got the toolbar to skin (hardest part).
As it is now the theme uses Aldi's CreamSixty toolbar and it does look very good with them. (see new screenshot)

Aldi, may I use your toolbar icons until I've come up with a nice set of my own?

I got scared there for a minute. I'm sure I can stand up and speak for EVERYONE. In the screen shot you put out (most recently) that's utter genius. You should go ahead and place that one on us! People would be happy to just update whatever you make.

I personally would be very happy to have exactly what you've posted! Including the 180 button. Love that. It's all TATS!

sure you can, i never have a problem with people using my icons, it's a honor for me . but i'm sure you will come up with some cool and even more fitting toolbaricons of your own soon, as you really have a talent to see what fits best.

I was just thinking about the same thing you've incorporated here: let the track-colouring come through at strategic places instead of all over, and make the folder track more recognisable. Brilliant!

Thanks Limeflavour, beautiful theme. The only thing I changed was the VUs to be more visible (shades of green).
