Default White World 0.9beta (unfinished yet)

Hello everyone!

I'd like to use Reaper but interface is too ugly for me. So I decided to make some new graphics. I think my theme is/will be much better than default. I want to make clear graphic easy for eyes with some nice colours. I made almost all graphics (without item and toolbar icons) and some part of colours in Preferences/theming. I'd like to do some parts better but i don't understand some things yet (I think documentation should be better) but I'll try to improve graphics.

I made this theme for me but maybe you like it.

Waiting for suggestions??

PS. Very, very, very sorry for my english! My language skills sucks

I think it's a good attempt at a "white" theme. Give the main toolbar the same treatment, make the folder button so it's readable against the white background, and you are very close to being done.

For Improvements: The text/font between the buttons is a bit inconsistent (between phase, I/O, trim, etc) I'd try some different fonts and antialias settings. The "M" for mute, for instance, is kinda funky looking because the first leg of the letter is two pixels wide while the other is one. It might be a matter of changing the size slightly so it looks even.

Ahhh - TURN OFF THE LIGHTS!!

heheh... Just kidding, I like this, as a matter of fact I am working on a white (or light) theme as well. Slowly but surely it is getting done as time permits.

Looks pretty good already. Keep up the good work and it'll be fine theme indeed.

Hello again

I decided to redesign theme. I made this version darker and better for our eyes I think. I tried to improve almost all graphics and make some professional touch.

I'm waiting for suggestions. What do you think?

cheers

ps. sorry for my english again

Frankly, I like the first variant better. The new one looks way too much like default old Windawz

Hello
On the new theme, i like the new menu icons.
But, like the comment above, i like the first versoin a bit better : i prefer the green vumeter over the blue ones, the little arrow icon when tracks are in folders, etc

Love the folder division on the second theme. Very clear.

Might have to down load this!

Thanks
