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.
That should do it.
