Default v6 Theme Tweaker font assignments are a mess!

v6.01 on Retina MBP

The Tweaker font names do not correspond to their real use...

Volume/Pan font is used for Toolbar Buttons only.
Track Title font seems to change nothing.

Walter 11 is the Vol/Pan and MCP FX List
Walter 12 is the Track Number
Walter 13 is the Track Title AND Transport Selection Display font

Could we at least have the specific named fonts change what they are supposed to please?

I agree... this is confusing, especially the fact that the ones that have names control something else (if that is correct).

However, I think if you dig into WALTER scripting, you'll see some font setting commands refer to an index #, which I assume point to the WALTER Fonts. The reason for that, I would guess (again) is so that you can have one area to update several elements at once. I mean, if you used Walter Font 8 for this, that, and the other thing.. and they were currently using Arial 8, but you wanted them as Arial 12, you just have the one thing to change. On top of that, if there were sections of a particular element where you wanted some text this font, and some other text another font, you could do that using multiple WALTER Fonts. Again, just guess work by me here.

That also said, there's 16 WALTER Fonts, yet the index in WALTER scripting only goes from 1-8.. so I don't know why there are double the WALTER fonts.. maybe depends on context of some sort.. not sure.

I also noted that you said WALTER 12 was for track number, and I know for my own case, changing WALTER 02 was what changed the track number, so perhaps they are duplicates.. or perhaps it's for future expansion.. or perhaps it is again something contextual. Maybe WT will indulge us.

The ones that aren't named with WALTER, I wonder if those are standard script (i.e. not WALTER script) related, and/or perhaps legacy, but then I'd also wonder why they control different things than what they're named.

I would love it if life were that simple. I have to use the WALTER assigned fonts, which override the legacy 'named for what it does' assignments, so that I can specify fonts on a per-layout basis, which I need to do in order to do the HiDPI thing. There are only 16 slots available (only recently increased from 8!) and so for three sizes that means only a third of the slot count is available for ...artistic purposes.

To sum up : welcome to my pain

Understood. Thank you. If you get a chance, bug the heck of the dev team to delete the legacy assignments from the tweaker.

I'll see if can pull the assignments together in a simple list.
