"just a flashing record button" is a long, long way from the necessities list. how can you tell when a region is selected? what is the difference between solo and solo-safe status? how to tell that a region gain line is active or not? etc. etc. etc. its true that we overuse colors right now, and that needs to change. note that you can use the theme manager (Windows -> Theme Manager) to switch to the "light" theme, which is much closer to the typical graytone themes of most default toolkit themes. if people write more themes, and they are good, we'll be happy to include them with ardour. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
