Re: How to create a Qtractor color scheme
you have two hard-coded color themes available, named "Wonton Soup" and "KXStudio" or else "(default)" for the current DE's. the later might be user-defined if you know your way to `qtconfig` noting that the changes you set to color palette (or color theme) it will apply globally to *all* Qt4 applications thereafter, not just qtractor (built as from ./configure --enable-qt4 ...).bluebell wrote:Hi all,

EDIT: Unfortunately it has some side effects and enlarges fonts in the mixer strips. WTF?

Code: Select all

Yes, but I can’t find the black background and green foreground for the position- and time-boxes, so I think they're not yet adressable this way.
Or am I just blind?

Re: How to create a Qtractor color scheme
no but those are hard-coded fixed; however be advised, that there are some widget styles (notoriously the "Gtk2" one, which is the default on GTk based DEs like Gnome and Xfce) that happen to override the whole of the system color palette/theme no matter which one you select or create--for best results always use the "Fusion" widget style.bluebell wrote:Yes, but I can’t find the black background and green foreground for the position- and time-boxes, so I think they're not yet adressable this way.
