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
H Sinus......
You're right, I didn't include the track colors with the theme package. Here are the ones I'm using now.

To re-create, launch DP, open Preferences, and select Track Colors. Open any track colors file, duplicate and give it a name you like. Then, you can turn it into this one by clicking the chips at either end of each row and—when you're presented with a color picker—choose the eyedropper and then copy the corresponding colors on this image of my Track Colors. I know it's tedious, but there's no other way I've found of sharing Track Colors (and I've checked with MOTU on this, too.)

Cheers.....

Bump... I know it's a day late, but here's the digital version of my Christmas postcard I mail out every year. In order to keep the computer screen in the background from being blown out in the photo, I used Rick's awesome theme and also found a display profile that darkened it as much as possible.

Happy 2024, Unicorns! :unicorn:

Thanks. Never had kids (not that I don’t like them, just worked out that way) so I’ve been able to buy guitars instead of school clothes,etc. I’ve been on extended adolescence for decades! It keeps me young!! Image
