Default Adjusting position of fx track controls in TCP layout?

I've managed to hide all the TCP elements I don't need for a video track, the only thing else I'd like to do is scoot the fx parameters up to just below the track name.
How do I do that in rtconfig?

Thanks

I think it's tcp.fxparm and the second number following that in the brackets would be how many pixels down from the top.

I see that in the global section

Code:
set tcp.fxparm             ?e15{x} + + [border e5] [0 e5{h} fxparm_space{x} fxparm_space{y}] [0 pad] [0]
if I copy that down to my new layout it has no effect. I can't change that globally or else all other layouts look wrong

Could you rename this
Layout "Video Production"
fxparm adjustments (just for this layout)
Endlayout

? Pretty new to this but I've seen it work with my stumblings through the Walter Themer's Guide
?

Yea not that one. Just add the line under whichever layout you're using or make a new layout. It's pretty easy:

Layout "Video TCP"
set tcp.fxparm [L T W H 0 0 0 0]
Other elements you want to alter from the default TCP; e.g. set tcp.solo [0] to remove it
EndLayout

L=Left pixel indent
T=Top pixel indent
W=Width
H=Height
The zeroes have to do with edge attachment and I'm not sure if they need to be there or not. You can check page 9 of WT's WALTER Themer's Guide for more info.

Ok, I'm using a modified v4 theme, so I don't think I can help you. My rtconfig is much simpler, without all that auto-rearranging going on.

All I can tell you is that all zeros after fx.parm tells Reaper to show nothing, nowhere... You have to set the coordinates and especially the correct size but it looks like they do it a bit differently now than when I learned it.

That new v5 code I can't decipher though. Sorry, someone else should know...

even with zeros it looks exactly the same as the pic in the OP.

I messed about with this for some time and this was the best I could get.
I can't say I really understand the overall construction even though I'm clued up on basic WALTER.
Anyways this pulls the thing closer but multiples list out horizontally until you expand the width of the track

Some of the numbers might be different but I think the main change came about by resetting the tcp.fxparm after the draw_tcp macro. Listed at the end.

There must be a fix with that fxparm line. I've been trying to adjust the pad and border settings but I cannot get the same quick result than the reset and restating the fxparm line after the draw_tcp macro has run.
I don't understand the structure of it even though all the parameters feeding it are easily found. Just not at that level of WALTER yet. Mr WhiteTie would know...

Thankfully, your code is near the top of the rtconfig!

This is the neatest, basically your original with the reset and set lines added for fxparm. I'm stopping now cuz my brain hurts...

thanks Dyl!


edit
just tried it
It's better, but need to tweak something so the track control is visible at a smaller minimum track height.

Slightly off topic but this seems the place to ask - any of you guys know how to remove FX parameter controls from the TCP altogether? I only want them in the mixer.

You know how to unpack a theme?
If not you need to study the themer forum posts, there's a couple of sticky posts by White Tie that covers it well.
With that covered...

If you look back at the code in these posts they have a def order_"fxparametername" 0.
That zero makes the fxparameter disappear. John only used five elements and if you look you will spot numbers 1 to 5 and the rest are zeros. There are 15 controls in total, you choose which you want available.

That's a really basic approach, as with the Walter's Themers guide you can learn how to make fxparameters appear/disappear depending on the size of your track display.

This is all related to Reaper 5 and version 6 has just landed. Jon has done a video which may help you achieve the same thing. Can't say 100% as I've only just scanned it but it's worth watching as there are some new ways to control your track and mixer layouts discussed in it

How do I do that in rtconfig?

What did you have to mess to have the item track number show up on the right? Is it part of the TCP order ?

Thanks
