I like the black, it's more easy on the eye balls in my opinion

I didn't see the video but from personal experience i can tell you Aberdeen is full of 7 foot tall oil rig workers. Friendly in that leary slightly overbearing way. One guy announced he was leaving the pub to go home by smashing his pint glass on the floor without the slightest hint of animosity or anger.
I saw a seagull shit on two elderly women walking along the street in Aberdeen. The volume of shit was incredible, they looked like they'd had a 44 gallon drum of white paint tipped over them

Ahh the old 'sky paint' ploy. Yes, yes, well known among avian population in those parts. Especially the double barrelled 'swoop' manoeuvre on those who are less than swift of foot.

Admirable. You were treated to one of nature's true wonders.

This thread should've had a poll.

I use blue and can't stand white now, even on You Tube tutorials :D

I hope they introduce a couple of others, a violet / purply one and a proper jet black one and allow them to affect the mixer too.
You don't think the mixer might look a bit messy like that? The text on it is black and that would clash so what would you do there? :O
Change the colour of the text?

Why not a poll goddarnit. Adding my vote for blue (obviously) I count

7 white
10 blue
5 black

I expected black to be more popular

I voted for "Black" even though that's not what it's called... (yeah, I'm THAT guy :puf_smile: )... I will always choose a dark theme when offered, and when I was still dealing with cataracts not that long ago, that's the ONLY way I could get by...anything with a white background just spread into an unreadable mess... back to normal vision now, but with a lingering preference for "Dark"...

Actually you're right. That's not silly, it's observant. Probably because it's called 'Dark' theme and it's called that because it isn't technically black (well it is but not proper black black lol!) which I stated further up above. I want a proper 'Jet Black' theme.

black, like my desktop background
I usually have the mixer detached on a second screen
contrast to the rack devices or mixer doesn't bother me
I find it much easier to read light text on a dark background

thing is, the sequencer isn't that much in vision because clips are usually filling it...and I use a color cofing scheme for differing clip elements

I would use the dark theme if the mixer was actually dark, and the gridlines weren't so bright and distracting.

Their half-assed approach is really starting to annoy me. A "dark" theme SHOULD BE DARK.

This is how the mixer looks under the current dark theme:

Oh - and it needs to be extended to the rack. I don't want to see any WHITE in my DARK theme.

Obviously with some legibility tweaks - I can only do so much with this photoshop mockup. :puf_bigsmile:

I'm using the white theme. The UI change at version 8 was hard enough!
