Default Theming gurus..help needed:-)

Hi,
i'm using Reaper for several years and i'm veeery happy with it.
My go to theme is Apollo from Witti (sometimes using "Paulie" from Lampshade/Witti) great so far.
There's one thing i would like to change, the color of toolbar text buttons,
fiddled around with it but nothing really changes.
Toolbar 1 is a pic from my actual toolbar
Toolbar 2 is from the black theme

Is there a (easy) way to make my Apollo toolbar icons look like them?

Thank you

Unpack the black theme.
Unpack Your theme.

You will see the themes have been seperated into two parts each,
the .reapertheme file and a corresponding folder.

Go into the folder of the Black theme.

If you want to change ALL of the icons, copy all of the toolbar icons from
the black theme, including the 'composite_toolbar_overlay'.png into the folder of your theme, overwriting every preexisting file there.

Next go into actions>theme tweaker. Scroll down until you see a reference to toolbar text. Set the text colors match those in the black theme. I think probably somewhere around 220 220 220, just shy of white (Lt. gray) - For both I believe.
You can copy these exactly by going into the black theme, bringing up the theme tweaker, and copying the RGB numbers in the color picker. Go down to right corner, click save theme, overwrite>yes.

This will change all of the icons. there is no way to change just the text icon because it uses the same images. There is a way to keep your icon images and use his backgrounds but it may not look right.
I suggest doing the above.

If you unpack your theme right inside the color themes folder, there is no need to repack it. it will show up twice in the menu though and it will be two different versions. Additionally, you may want to move the original .reaperthemeZIP file to a different folder to reduce confusion in this way. You will want to move it at any rate if you decide to repack the theme after your done because you will have two copies of the same name.

Make sure you make a backup copy of your theme first.

You can change the font to look like his, though some other elements in his theme may be using the preselected font, so I would not.
