Hey guys…after about 5 months I finally get a little time to look into the reasons why my previous Autumn theme didn’t work anymore on Ardour 9. I have to say that I was really deflated when I finally finished the theme…and a couple of weeks later Ardour 9 was release and the theme was broken and didn’t work correctly. The thing is that I tested my previous Autumn theme all the way back to Ardour 5 and it worked so I just thought that it would work on version 9.
When the previous theme was loaded/install for Ardour 9 it was a mess. Some of it I knew was no color associated with new elements but there was also problem with some of the foundation colors that were WAY off from what I had set them to be. Most of which was brand new lines of code for new elements, 24 changes from what I recall.
I’ll be testing it to make sure everything is good…but so far it looks like it should. Once I make sure there aren’t any surprises I’ll package it up as a .deb file for Debian based Linux users and as a zip file with installation instructions inside and provide a link to both on my personal website.
I’ll check back soon to let you know when it’s available. For those of you that have no idea what I’m talking about - The Ardour color theme is called Autumn and it’s based off of the warm colors of New England USA in the fall/autumn season. I’ve attached a sample image of what it looks like.
Thanks guys!
