change highlight color in MIDI event list?
I know there's a whole bunch of ways to customize the colors used in different areas in DP. What I have a question about is I don't seem to see a way to do it is can the highlight color of a selected line in the MIDI event list be changed to something lighter? I've pretty much gone through the different stock themes and the color schemes and they don't seem to be able to change that highlight color. I'd like something a good bit lighter as on a glossy screen like on my iMac that dark bluish makes it difficult to see what's highlighted. Age does have it's disadvantages at times
Re: change highlight color in MIDI event list?
I think you want Selection Colour in the Themes preferences. You can set the selection colour to the 1) OS X system default, 2) the selection colour for the theme, or 3) any other colour. That's the colour that will be used in the Lists for a selected event.

Thanks for the info. If I pick a color for this will that change if I change the theme? I would think that it would.bayswater wrote:I think you want Selection Colour in the Themes preferences.

Does the OS X general selection color play any part in that? I just don't remember.

Yes, if you select the system highlight colour in preferences. That's what I use.Shooshie wrote:Does the OS X general selection color play any part in that? I just don't remember.

Well you could just try it. I use the system colour and that doesn't change across themes because its supplied by the OS X System preferences.musicman691 wrote:Thanks for the info.
