How's this?

Fine, Rick. I believe red may help very fast track level checking before a recording. But, most of the time, I'm not in a hurry session, that's why I would prefer selection theme color. Just for ease on my eyes. Which is why I like your Beyond Black theme so much. But maybe someone may feel the other way. Anyway, thanks again for all your deep hard work.

Hi everyone…
Beyond Black v2.3 is still available—162 downloads so far… and (at least, so far as I know) all from MOTUnationeers!
BB2.3 DLs.jpg
BB2.3 DLs.jpg (45.08 KiB) Viewed 1276 times

Today, I also posted a slightly refined version (v2.4), which is yours for free, if you'd like it.

As always, I make no representations or guarantees about whether it will work with your system or not. (So, use at your own risk, void where prohibited, etc., etc., etc.)

If you'd like to install this DP theme:
1. Download the theme bundle here
2. Unpack the zip archive.
3. Mac users, drop the file "Beyond_Black-v2.4.bundle" into [your system drive]->Library->Application Support->MOTU->Digital Performer->Themes
For Windows users, a member suggested C:\ProgramData\MOTU\Digital Performer\Themes\
4. Open DP, then Preferences, click on "Themes" and select "Beyond_Black-v2.4"

Let me know if it's working for you.

Thank you, really nice colored theme and easy to the eye!
For some reason I can't find anywhere in the package contents the "BB2 Track Colors.png" that you are referring to, in your first post. I guess I'm looking at the wrong place. :D
