Default How do I change the color of the piano keys in midi editor when using key snap?

So I can see how to change the midi editor piano keys, but when I enable the key snap, I have a hard time seeing the keys, and wanted to change the color scheme. But I can't find what these other colors are called? Anyone know?

Thanks.

Default I Agree

I just did a search on the same issue. I'm working in D Major. F# and C# are black with all the other sharps "shadowed out." But for the white keys, the usable notes are shadowed out, and the unusable white notes (C and F) are bright white. So confusing it's nearly impossible to use. And it seems that it cannot be changed?
Someone didn't think this one through?

you have to first unpack the theme to get to the png files

then do a search for the word piano

you should find four png files

edit those png's to look the way you want and then re-zip the folder of pngs and the theme file to a newly named xxxxx.ReaperThemeZip file

That is just it, so I haven't done exactly what you said, but using the "Theme development/tweaker" Now with latest update there is 5 items see attachment. None are really the color of the black keys when key snap is on.

I ran into the same problem. Until this is fixed I deleted the theme image files for the piano notes and used the "Theme development/tweaker" to alter the colors of the other keys so it is visible.

The image files

piano_black_key.png
piano_black_key_sel.png
piano_white_key.png
piano_white_key_sel.png

appear to be shared between the MIDI editor keyboard and the Virtual keyboard, however while their color edits only reflect in the Virtual keyboard, complete removal of at least one of them affects all keys on both keyboards

With these files removed the visual separation between grayed out and active keys is greater but it still can't be tweaked via the color scheme editor (well maybe in the latest built but not in 5.50).
