Default MK_Colored_Stripes v2 (Paulie mod, Sonar and PS inspired, HiDPI)

New version 3 is here: https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=246330


Hi guys!
I'm finalizing my theme, this is a modified Paulie, but flatter, clearer and with some of my “innovations”, lol. As references and inspiration, I used Sonar and Photoshop. The FHD version is completely fine with me, but I don’t have the opportunity to test the HiDPI (x2), I don’t have a 4k monitor. I will be glad if you help with testing.

Like the original Paulie theme, you need to install a couple of fonts (in the archive). Also, I put few my SWS color profiles for tracks and items and custom cursors.

Features:

- Adapted position of buttons and track faders. All elements can be accessed even with a minimum track height.
- A huge invisible button to compress/expand tracks in folders.
- Many different layouts for separators.
- Tinted tracks - optional layouts.
- Click-proof TCP faders.
- Lots of fine lines, fine, elegant grids.
- Own set of mouse cursors, which are clearly visible on a light and dark background.
- Own MIDIColorMap
- This is not a designers theme, but it is a theme that is constantly in work. I tried to do everything for convenience and comfort - you will always see elements, dividers, highlightings and selections. At the same time, some minor details are in the background, so as not to tire your eyes.

Regards

Perhaps, Imgur may not display pictures in some regions. Just in case, a link to my gallery:

Is there a common folder on W10 where the SWSColor profiles are stored?

This is a great laptop theme btw

Thanks

As I understand it - it can be any folder. I store my profiles in the same folder as the themes (ColorThemes)


You are welcome

Great theme thank you kindly for it. Say, how did you end up being able to un-tint the TCP like that? I am curious how I can apply this hack to other themes in version 6 world. Any tips please? Config I like the color strip at the end of the TCP and not a full tint.

You're welcome!

It's quite simple: files tcp_bg.png and tcp_bgsel.png have some transparent areas, which will be “colored stripes” with the color of the track.

This does look very easy on the eyes. Sorry but can someone tell me where and how I need to place the extracted files. I have been using Reaper for ten years , so I should know..but sadly not.

Hello!
The theme should be located in the ColorThemes folder.
The cursors should be located in the Cursors folder.
Here: C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\REAPER or by action "Show REAPER resource path in explorer"


Fonts .fon are easy enough to add to the Windows font library - just double-click and install. Unfortunately, I don't know how this is done on a Mac.

Color sets .SWSColor can be placed anywhere. The color set is opened with the "SWS: Open color management window" action. And, in the window that opens, use "Load Color Set from file..." button.
This is only needed for automatic coloring of tracks and items. If you are not using this, then this step can be skipped.
