Just to clarify this for people, since I mainly use DP on a desktop without a 4K display I simply selected the .png (square of squiggly colors) Guitar Gaz posted here in the forum, then saved it as cdDataCicn.png, Open Library/Application Support/MOTU/Digital Performer/Themes. Right/Control click to "show package contents" for my favorite Theme, open "resources" and drop in the cdDataCicn.png. I first removed the factory one to the desktop, just in case. Works perfectly, seems to take on the color scheme of the Theme you're in.

It's a beautiful thing, the v's for Note Velocity have always been too freaking small..

Yeah... I use that and it helps. I guess my main beef is those tiny little "Vs" the denote the note velocity are SO SMALL!!! Especially on my 30" monitor. I think amplidood had some themes with thicker velocity point icons. I sure hope he can update his themes some day for 9.1x
James - this has been posted a few times - it is not perfect but this png from the Resources folder of your favourite theme can be amended at least makes the V's into square blocks (any colour you like to make them) and so are easier to see :

and looks like this:

Called cdDataCicn.png if you can access it with a paint/graphics program you can manually alter the file. If you can't do this I would be happy to send you the file (any colour you like) so you can slip it in the Resources folder. You usually need both the normal and the 5k version depending on the Mac you are using.

Cheers,
Gary
