Default Track layout with just the Track Name

As this supposedly is the correct subforum:

Can anybody help to get me started with WALTER on that issue ?

Thanks,

It is the right sub-forum.

Start off with this:

Quote:
Layout "track name"

clear tcp.*
set tcp.size [450 90]
set tcp.label.margin [2 2 2 2]
set tcp.label.color [214 214 214]
set tcp.label.font [1]
set tcp.label [4 4 420 16 0 0 1 0]
EndLayout ;
This is OK here in my own customised theme. You'll need to adjust some of the numbers.

You could use a different text size by using a different font number depending on the track height and setting the last 0 in tcp.label to 1. But, check out the WALTER guide to see what the various parameters mean (and how do do an IF test).

This:
Quote:
Layout "track name"

clear tcp.*
set tcp.size [450 90]
set tcp.label.margin [2 2 2 2]
set tcp.label.color [214 214 214]
set tcp.label.font [8]
set tcp.label [4 4 420 80 0 0 1 1]

EndLayout ;
with WALTER Font 8 configured in the Theme Editor, gives this:

Thanks a lot !
But where exactly to put the code ?

should I create a file rtconfig.txt in "\AppData\Roaming\REAPER\ColorThemes" ?

Thanks,

-Michael

In the rtconfig.tst for the theme you are using. You may need to unpack the theme file to get to it.

Time to read up on the stickies for Themes, too.

I already did unzip the Default 5 theme file.

Where to put the content ?

There are 4 relevant "sticky" threads listed at the top of this sub-forum.

I was able to set my rtconfig.txt to work, and created a new

Layout "cx --- Just Track Name" using your suggestions.

Code:
Layout "cx --- Just Track Name" "Large"

; ---------------------------- USER : mess with these:----------------------------

clear tcp.*
set tcp.size [450 90]
set tcp.label.margin [2 2 2 2]
set tcp.label.color [214 214 214]
set tcp.label.font [8]
set tcp.label [4 4 420 80 0 0 1 1] 

; ----------------------------- OK, stop messing here ----------------------------
;draw_tcp
EndLayout
Seems to work ...

Thanks,
-Michael

As I have your attention:

For another project I'd like to have a Mixer panel with two or three rows of track widgets below each other.

Is this possible ?

Thanks again !

Good oh!

Yep, it sure is:



But that will take quite a bit of work.

Thanks and Sorry !
I seem not to have been clear.

Here, (other than the other project that showed only the TCP and a floating master volume slider but no mixer), I have a layout without TCP, but only showing the Mixer.
This projects features some 30 tracks and uses a rather small monitor.

Now I want to see all tracks at the same time in the Mixer, and hence have the mixer fill the complete screen (with the tracks shown in standard layout). That is why I want two or three lines (rows) of these track "sliders".
Thanks again,

Michael (I will manage to do a fake screenshot if I must ...)

Maybe I've misunderstood again , but ....

Master Mixer context menu >> Show multiple rows ..." or "Show maximum rows ..."

I was able to optimize the code to nicely fit with the existing track layouts and to show the track index.
Code:
Layout "cx --- Just Track Name" "Large"
; ---------------------------- USER : mess with these:----------------------------
clear tcp.*
set tcp.size [450 90]
set tcp.label.margin [2 2 2 2]
set tcp.label.color [214 214 214]
set tcp.label.font [8]
set tcp.label [4 4 415 80 0 0 1 1] 
set tcp.trackidx                 [419 35 17 17 1 0.5 1 0.5]
  set tcp.trackidx.margin        [0 0 0 0 0.5]
  colorsmart                     tcp.trackidx.color 230 230 230 0
; ----------------------------- OK, stop messing here ----------------------------
;draw_tcp
EndLayout
