You just want the original colors of the media items back, right?
Start the Reaper 6 default theme.
Open the action list and search for " Theme development: Show theme tweak/configuration window".
Execute the command and search in theme tweaker:
- Media item label
- Media item peaks (odd tracks)
- Media item peaks (even tracks)
- Media item background (odd tracks)
- Media item background (even tracks)
Make a note of the color values of each surface.
Open the dark mode theme, and then the theme tweaker again.
Now enter the color values for the corresponding surfaces and press " Save Theme...".

Thank you for responding
I tried your method but there are still a lot of things you have changed- I'd like to only change the FX and media windows, right now in the original they have white backgrounds. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1JY...c3LnOJmgoA9pu9
What colors should I tweak to only get the menus and windows dark as you have done in yours?
Thanks again

Uh, that's a lot. These are not only backgrounds, but also text, input fields, gridlines... graphics...
Use theme tweak helper to find the positions.

Yeah it's a pity that high sierra chocolate hack and W10 native dark mode don't work here.
You can still use the theme, of course... but the fx window stays white.

I had removed this hint, because the dark mode only works from mojave on.
It was about the chocolate-hack on High Sierra. But it turned out very quickly that it has no effect on reapers surfaces.

🙏 thanks for clarifying. Still wondering, as the F/X-Window stays light grey on Mojave, none the less Dark Mode is activated, but that Problem shouldn't be your Theme, i guess.
And also ... thanks for your work!!
edit: I just found this Thread: https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=222366, now everything matches the Dark Mode!

Thanks Zeno. It's very kind of you to drop links here and fine tune a Reaper dark mode v6 too. I can't wait to check it out tomorrow.

So is there a way to get the dark ReaPlugs and Reaper windows?
I'd like to keep my current theme and only changes those features.
(win 10)
Thanks!

No. The colours for plugin surfaces and some other surfaces are determined by W10. Lists, text fields, grids etc are determined by the reapertheme. Changing everything without changing anything is not possible at the moment.

Sorry I wasn’t clear, I was asking if if I can keep my Reaper theme, I don’t mind changing my Windows theme.
Is that still not possible?
Thanks!

You can use your theme as a base and mod it: change the color of all backgrounds, surfaces, texts, input fields, etc. with theme tweaker.
But the surfaces of the ReaPlugins and some other things stay white. For this you need a special windows theme.

Sorry Zeno, I was not specific in saying that it does not have to do with Reaper, but with the Windows theme. Those default yellow folder icons. I think I'll buy a theme that includes those.
And thank you for your Reaper theme. It is what I use now!

You do not have to buy a theme to get dark items. You can use any dark-itempack that is available on the internet.

New and absolutely secure ThemeTool:
SecureUxTheme
UltraUXThemePatcher caused unstable themes on some systems.
This is not the case with SecureUx. It does not patch Windows files, but only verifies the theme files.

taken me a while to get the courage to do this, but I followed the steps and so far so good, looks great. Takes a tiny bit of tweaking to one's desire but overall it is good so far. Thanks!

Somehow I get this when I apply penumbra and change colors to Dark inside Personalization window on Win10.
Do you know how to fix this?

It is only with reaeq?
This is on the cap of cockos. In some releases this bug is fixed and in the next one it is broken again.
So no, sry, unfortunately I do not know how I can help there. :/
EDIT:
Should be working correctly in REAPER 6.15

It works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. I can't be sure when it stops displaying it properly. It seems to me that as soon as I apply the Penumbra theme it works fine. But if I restart REAPER and/or Windows it becomes ugly.
It can be seen on ReaEQ and on ReaXComp so far.

Sounds like you have UX installed, but use a different reapertheme?
Sliderbackground and caps are png files and part of the reapertheme.

It is since a few version releases ago. After a consumer release Reaper had problems with the correct display of exactly these areas on windows. The devs made changes in the following release. But I don't know what kind of changes they made exactly.
Possibly Reaper now forces a certain #color on these areas.

Hi, Birdy.
I'm very sorry about that, but there's nothing I can do about it.
Devs have made visual adjustments to some of the ReaPlugins in one of their past releases and are forcing the light color on the corresponding areas. Very inelegant if you ask me....
There is only one workaroud: Hide Tabs & save preset as default

Do some windows users still have some instability (white background element) on this (when restarting reaper or system for eg)?
Or is it good now ?

Need assistance on Mac
Thank you very much for the this dark mode, and I typed in "defaults write com.cockos.reaper NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance 0" in the terminal on Mac but for FX it's still white color. Any assistance would be appreciated bro. Thanks.

Does this also work with Windows 11 and the latest Reaper versions? It's exactly how I want Reaper and its plugins to look like, but I'd like to confirm before fiddling around with my system.
Thank you for your work!

No, sorry, I can't offer you any assistance (windows user here).
I found the terminal command in another thread here on the forum about the hidden dark mode in Mac High Sierra. Search for "mac dark mode" or something similar, maybe there is more information there.
