Having issues customizing a theme.
Hey all, I'm trying to customize a theme for DP but I'm not seeing where the options are to customize the color of the transport/time display or the background of the sequence. Essentially, I'm trying to emulate the look of a Fairlight CMI with all black background and only green text/tracks etc. Any suggestions?

Re: Having issues customizing a theme.
It’s not nearly as easy as that. To customize a theme you have to duplicate one of the theme bundles/files and edit the enclosed XML and/or graphic files. That sort of detailed customization is not built in to DP.

Hello _
On the file of the Theme concerned, right-click then select the option show Package Contents and a folder opens (Contents).
Go to the Resources folder to rectify the following two images: kLargeCounterDigitSet_PictID & kLargeCounterDigitSet_PictID@2x.png if you are looking to edit the color and style of the counter digits.
My two cents _
EDIT: for the background of the Control Panel, the two following pictures are your friend if iHave good understand:
kEmbeddedControlPanelBackgroundTwoHigh_PictID
kEmbeddedControlPanelBackgroundTwoHigh_PictID@2x
