Recommended REAPER Theme Tweaks 

This is so helpful. I wondered how you did that and now I know. As a guy who came from a PT background, who has committed to switching to REAPER, these to the point tips and tutorials are indispensible. Thank you Jon.

Just wanted to say that I like your videos cause they are simple and to the point but with good/great advices that go beyond scratching the surface of what one can do with reaper. Keep it coming!

Great tweaks! My personal fave is to make the "play cursor" flashing like a real cursor. That creates the feel of a resposive DAW, and it informs me whether REAPER is working.

Change the color of the takes was very useful for me, thanks!

Very usefull, are also my opinion! I use most of it now, after tweaking gridlines it was much easyer to find my way! Thank you.

Thank you! Very usefull! Especially the stripe highlighting of the active take!

Cheers, buddy. I've been looking for how to adjust the colours all week - used to be in the preferences back in v3.xx. Thanks

These are really helpful. Thank you

playrate is actually pretty useful when you want to slow down the tempo when recording , so you can play slower, and when it plays back it plays back at original tempo. It even works when you're recording electronic guitar, since it's virtually amped, it won't be noticeable that it's recorded at a slower tempo

Thank you Jon Very useful!

Thanks, that very good, especially getting rid of playrate. Why didn't I think of that? I had trouble with this as well.

thank you! very usefull!

Awesome! Thanks Jon!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!

Awesome! Thanks!

Great vid as always, Jon! Do you know if there's an easy (ish) way to make the selected track "pop" a bit more? Highlighted brighter / border box around it? So many people's themes, I dig... but SO many of them have the selected track BARELY noticeable. Please let me know, thanks man! (Still using Reaper 5 mostly).

started using them already ... thanks

This is cool, it has been many years since i was exited about a daw! Im so getting reaper, it has Also been many years since i have Togo with the process of re- learning a DAW :p

Thanks very useful.

All I want is to be able to make the automation points a different color than the automation curves. Is that too much to ask?

I also recommend the grid lines color for the MIDI editor (which is further down in the theme development/tweaker menu list).

Very helpul!

Great explanation bro. Is there any chance to customize the color of a selected track? Many thanks.

Nice!

thanks!

Awesome...

Loving the theme development/tweaker changes ! However, for some reason it seems that with certain colors (like purple just as in the video) the "grid lines (start of measure)" color changing doesn't change the actual color in my TCP (it stays grey just like before) ... Whereas the other 2 grid lines color changes work just fine... If i chose a color like yellow or red however, i can see it just fine Any idea where this could be coming from ? For now i've just put "grid lines (start of measure)" in BLACK, and it's way better than the default grey to me. Also : how did you get your grid lines to bo so thick (which helps with distinguishing the different lines/colors) ? Mine are super thin... (EDIT : i guess that's because you're ZOOMING in your video, making them appear bigger than they actually are on your (and everyone else's) screen)

Thanks! Is there a similar way to tweak stuff hardcoded into a non-stock theme?

Is there no way to change the font of the pulldown menus?

Is there any way to individually reset the Theme changes to their default? Like at 4:38 where you struggle to find the original color. I just want make sure I can revert if I mess things up.

One of the first things I did when I finally bought Reaper was to dive into that theme editor and tweak some stuff. Here's a question: Can one combine elements of multiple themes? If so, got any tips for doing so? I'm using my tweaked version of RADO V4. However, I would like to add a few additional Mixer panels from a couple other themes. I have no clue how to do this, or if it's even possible. Thanks. Have a great day :D

How do you use the sws extensions to change the parent folder tracks to side bar?

Thanks for the video! I have a question though. How can you move different sections of the transport? You have Time on the left and selection on the right. I cannot find a way to customize those.

If you have the time and don't mind can you name the area in which all of the tracks are laid out? My area is three shades of grey and all too dark. I would like to lighten up my situation. Using Imperial theme 🙂

Hey, The colors are not reflected once I choose a new one? Any ideas?

How to magnify top menu bar text size .. How to make writings like "file-edit-view-insert-item" etc in reaper?

👍

Many thanks for this. *Quick Question* To avoid having to do this kind of thing again if you have to reinstall Reaper, could you just save the tweaked theme as a template, store that file somewhere else and then import it/open it in the new install of Reaper, and somehow make it the default theme again?

You are my fucking savior did you know that? Edit: One quick question to ask, to you know if it is possible to change the thickness of the gridlines?

im starting to see a pattern here between reaper users. The theme have to look all fucked up to be useful. That explains why I havent found a nice looking theme without all the bejeweled fuck up looking colors in the site.
