I just wanted to share this because i must have died and go to heaven
After struggling with Reaper GUI for several years i think i found the perfect combination to make Reaper look its best.
The Reaper theme used is based of Apple Logic 10.0 GUI which is in my opinion the slickest DARK GUI i have seen in any program ever.
But even if you dont care about Apple this GUI is simply gorgeous DARK THEME to work in and most importantly it "gets out of your way"

My modded version with some minor tweaks

This Reaper Theme will take you 75% along the way. But using DARK THEME on its own with Reaper still leaves some controls bright because they are controlled by OS not Reaper.
So this Reaper Theme is perfectly complemented by DARK Windows 7 theme that turns the *remaining* 25% of GUI dark

Windows Theme Instructions:
1) First install this

2) Download Viewlix theme and copy content of "theme" to -->> C:\Windows\Resources\Themes
3) In windows right click Desktop > Personalize > "viewflix" (optionally reboot to *completely* reload windows with new theme)
======================================
When you combine I Logic Free.ReaperThemeZip and Viewlix windows theme - your Reaper turns into the slickest, completely dark DAW
Couple more fine tunnings:
F11 (Full Screen) to have complete edge-to-edge dark theme
Set windows Taskbar to "Auto-hide the taskbar", "Use small icons", "Always combine, hide labels"
Instead of taskbar use Alt-Tab to switch between Arrange window and all your floating (unpinned) VST windows - very elegant
======================================
below is fullscreen (F11) screenshot of my modded version + Viewlix windows 7 theme
it looks gorgeous on a 30" display (2560 x 1600 px)
EDIT:
OK i just retrospectivelly found out ive been using Free (but limited) version of the "I Logic" theme (called "I Logic Free" that i found on Reaper Stash) - i found it on Reaper Stash FIRST and didnt realise there is a FULL version available by DONATION
So everybody go here https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=163579
DONATE AND GET THE FULL VERSION OF "I Logic" THEME (without my mods since it would be unethical for me to post the FULL VERSION of the theme anywhere)
