Thanks for this, it looks really nice. I have already added 3 more sections to it:
Pink, Brown and Baby Blue. I might add more and then once I am done I could send you the blank CPR and if you want you could post the new version on your site.
Thanks, looks good.
now that we have so many colors is there a way to open the color set in 2 or more rows, instead of scrolling down to invisible colors at bottom ?
I want/need to know the same, because I’m currently based on the original colours adding new flavours to the color set and would really appreciate if I could add them simply by means of XML.
On the left hand side of your track (to the left of its name) in the project window, press ALT + Mouse. The colours are displayed horizontally as before. That works for the whole track, but if you want to change the colour of just 1 part in your track…, well I’m not at my music rig at the moment.
Thanks a lot for the feedaback guys. It’s really great to see you enjoy it so much. And I am glad you are helping each other out.
I believe the color codes in the XML are probably RGBA written in C. But basically there is no magic to this. I actually made all the colors inside cubase. I am most certanly no l33t haxor dude! If you want to edit colors or add new ones I think the easiest way is to do it inside Cubase.
and Thanks seyoum for explore to push the XML, and it’s work fine. I copie 32 Slots and change my own Colors, cool, Thank U.
[Before any Time i post (in german Forum) a Wish for a bit more Colors, but no Reaction from Steinberg…], now i’m Happy… for this Point.
I think the popularity of this thread demonstrates how much people would like to
have the ability to customize more/certain aspects of their chosen DAW.
Sure, I’ll chime back in, as I’ve done this myself.
I haven’t altered any lately, so I have none to share that top what Seyoum has provided, but we can all continue either from using his or the stock ones.
In the toolbar at the very top, right click in the drop down menu and check ‘Color Menu’ [if not done already].
It will appear as a grey box with a small down arrow at the right of it.
[If you have ‘Show Tips’ selected in the ‘General’ section of the Preferences, it will show ‘Select Colors’ when you hover your mouse over it.]
Click on that down arrow & the drop down menu will display ‘Default Color’ [to click on to change the current track color], followed by all the colors currently available, followed by ‘Project Colors…’ down at the bottom.
Click ‘Project Colors…’ and it will expand.
If you click on any existing color, a color palette window opens whereby you can drag to a new shade or tone vs. the ‘Current Color’ and click ‘New Color’, and it will then be saved as is.
Otherwise, if you click on ‘Options’ at the bottom, another menu pops up.
Click ‘Append New Color’, and a white box named ‘New Color’ will be added at the bottom. [You could also click on ‘Insert New Color Before Selection’ to place it elsewhere.]
Click on the white box to shade it any color you like using the color palette.
Click ‘New Color’.
Click to the right to rename it, ie: Piano, Guitar if you like color consistency between projects. That way you won’t have to guess or remember what you used before.
Click to the right of the new name to continue on with others or click ‘OK’.
*However, ‘OK’ only saves this for the current song [project].
So…instead,
Click ‘Save Current Set As Program Defaults’.
One of the other options is ‘Load Program Defaults To Current Set’ to use with other projects.
It’s a good idea to set up a song [project] template with this as well.
