Dwarfish, or Elvish, surely…?
How about ‘mellon’… which means friend in Elvish (as any self-respecting LoTR geek would know)… and I am a friend of Ardour…
On second thought even ‘melon’ works with with the orange vaguely canteloupe-coloured highlights… Maybe ‘Mellonhead’ should be the name…
I would change two things:
-
The item “midi note selected outline” - to white (more noticeable IMO):
-
The transparency of the “G”-“E”-modes are more distinguishable when “G” - is filled of color, “E” - is transparent.
Edit>Preferences>Theme>Transparency:
“editable region” - move the slider to the left;
“midi frame base” - move the slider to the right
In “G”-mode we are working with “blocks” - so we don’t need clearly looking grid inside the region;
in “E”-mode we need the orientation for notes - so the grid would be good clearly looking:
it’s only my subjective workflow feelling:)
P.S. A distro-oriented theme is an interesting idea. One monolith style
The wise master has spoken! Great ideas, I will look into it tomorrow and post an updated version. Thanks, that is exactly the sort of advice I was looking for!
Haha, if I could make my 2 main programs (both Ardour and Cinelerra) match the system theme I could die a happy man!
Suggestions from @cooltehno have been included and an updated ‘diehard2’ has been put in the first post.
With a great pleasure!))
My version of the theme name “ultra-celandine”. May be too crazy, but just my associations…
Now that the dust has settled a bit… is it already time to include this upstream, or are there some further tweaks planned?
Last night I got out to the studio and actively worked on a session and I wasn’t super happy with the Audio track BG (it’s determined by ‘widget gray’ I believe and needs to be a darker color for this theme)… I’m still fine tuning some changes on that but I hope to finish it this weekend and will be sure to post the final version here. Thanks for even considering it for upstream!
…May be one more tweak:
))next variants of the name: avlmafia, ultra-melon, alien-blood, alien juice, *dark blues
ack, keep fine tuning it. We’re not in a rush to push out a new release anytime soon anyway.
I think I’m done tweaking, I have edited the first post and uploaded the latest version ‘diehard3’ with the suggestions from @cooltehno. Any changes beyond that will probably be up to the User on an individual needs basis so I think the colors theme is ready whenever you are…
Is a nice Theme Glenn.
Thanks!
Apparently not nice enough to get into Ardour 6.8 or 6.9…
I forgot. I only checked for pull-requests and the issue tracker before the release.
A forum isn’t great to keep track of things, this topic just fell to the bottom of the stack, out of sight. – You have to be more diehard
Ardour looked shockingly weird when I started the new release without migrating the color scheme.
Haha!
Yes it doesn’t like it’s theme to be missing very much, the same happened to me! I was kind of surprised it didn’t default to the dark theme default settings when a custom theme can’t be found…
