(In fact, they're already taller than they are in a lot of themes...) So I feel like the options are either to cut off the content, as it is currently, or remove the content altogether...

I've only been trying out Echolot for a couple days, though, so I don't have a lot of practical experience with it yet. So far I'm liking it a lot, though.
I see it the same way you do.

Actually your question is "what is your suggestion?" I said my opinion, not thinking that you would give such an answer because it was.
Frankly, Echolot is a very beautiful, very useful theme and it could be even better, of course it's up to you. Our recommendations are just to contribute to that.

Echolot is a really nice theme. The colors are soft and light, the design looks very nice to me. Many thanks for the updates. Is it possible for Tcp to be similar to MCp narrower Separator?

Thank you! Yes, there is a "Separator" TCP layout.

Separator is OK but I mean narrower for TCP.

that's a pure beauty, many thanks!
I actually used Sonar years back, but never really got into that new dark theme they provided,
looks very nice with Reaper now,

just one small request/question,
is it possible to get main toolbar on the left side of narrow transport?

cheers

Hi! Is there a way to make the cursor highlight bracket just one sided and thinner? seems too big to make precise cuts, it feels like the bracket is in the way.

thanks!

oh I see, but the "Main Toolbar" needs to be replaced by something else,
searched through bit of Reaper forums and seems to be Reaper limitation :|

anyway thanks again,
if I could have one small request, it would be adjustment on Transport bar to get "Selection:" number readouts as big as main playback time font size

"All MCP layouts are now completely dynamically adjustable to the mixer height"
But the narrow mixer layout does not change in size. Is it right?

Thanks for softening the colors a bit on the TCP and MCP layouts. I use folders a lot for different instrument and vocal groupings and this is perfect for finding things!

Dude I really love this Theme.
all the things is there but i miss that is one crucial thing top me.
All Items have a black color and the waveform are colored, I am used to having the Item in color and waveform i black.
But i cant change this in the preference settings as its grayed out on your theme.

Can this be fixed?

Keep it up

Hi, glad you like my theme. The item and waveform color thing can't be changed because this theme is tuned for it. Get used to it. Greetings

Hello mawi. I imported the mcp pan knob from another theme to Echolot, but when in Dual pan mode, the left pan is the knob I imported and the right knob appears as the original Echolot. What do I need to do in rtconfig to see the knob I'm importing right and left?

That's one major thing I didn't like about Sonar/CakewalkByBandlab.
At least this theme does a great job at staying true to what I didn't like.

You can further mod the theme. That's what I'm actually doing right now.
Bringing back the coloured items and minimising some of the orange elements.

Don't get me wrong , I absolutely love this theme, just some personal taste I'm going for.
Echolet already gave you lot's of options in tcp and mcp.

I'm stuck trying to do this; how did you dock a toolbar next to the transport? From there I assume you add your regular open/close etc buttons to this toolbar and replace them on the 'main' one with whatever you want? Thanks.

you need to set Transport into Docker, and then drag it to be docked in top Docker

This theme is awesome, made me realize what a nice GUI Sonar actually has. Wonderfully executed!

Btw regarding item/waveform color, I wouldn’t request the change from mawi because it would go against what he is trying to make but it is not too difficult to do yourself. I can explain if someone wants.

@those who don’t want the main toolbar
The ‘main’ toolbar can not be removed because there has to exist something in the corner where timline and tracklist meet (so why not a toolbar). But it is irritating that it needs to take up so much space. I think the Reaper devs should make it possible to make it as small as 1 row of buttons and do so by allowing to hide marker and region lanes, which are responsible for making the ruler (and toolbar) so big. If you agree please consider supporting my FR: https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=258265

The SONAR Tungsten theme on which this is based was probably my all time favorite look for a DAW. The TCPs are concise and easy to use and either transport module has everything you'll need and can be docked to allow for other toolbars on either side to save screen real estate. Overall, with a few minor tweaks, I doubt I'll ever be switching themes again anytime soon.

Default peaks color

I like the color of the media items in this theme.

How is it done, that the "media item peaks"-setting in the "theme development/tweaker"-window is not affecting the color of the peaks?

Thanks, it is done by peaksedges in rtconfig.

Hi, the db value at the top of the meter in mcp seems very small to me, what should I do to enlarge the font from rtconfig? Any advice?

Unfortunately, this is not adjustable. I would also like to enlarge the scale font on the master meter. Unfortunately this is not possible.

Dude, what are you doing, building a new theme? Why don't you just use the theme as it is? If it doesn't suit you, then please use another one. I don't feel like helping you with every little thing in your project.

Honestly, since both the mcp and pan knobs are dark, I didn't want to bother you for slightly brighter pan knobs, I just used the knobs I found. Since it was not symmetrical, I had to ask. Thank you for the valuable information you have provided.

This is my new favorite theme, thank you so much! Very nostalgic as a former Sonar user.

If I may make a small feature request, I really miss being able to click the 'FX' header/button in the TCP and have that show the FX chain. Unless that already is possible and I'm somehow doing it wrong? I do have the "Show FX inserts in TCP when size permits" option enabled, if it helps?
