Adding Piano Keyboard Colors to Theme Settings

Ideas & suggestions
1

Since the piano keyboard colors are fixed values of black and white, when the Selection Back color is black or white, the state of the keyscale display is obscured.
It would be useful to add a new color setting for the black and white keys on the piano keyboard (perhaps this is preferred) or a new color setting to replace the Selection Back in the key scale display.

It is not uncommon for various Themes to be incongruous only with respect to the color of the piano keyboard.
Considering the design consistency of the various Themes, it seems problematic to have fixed colors for the black and white keys.
I imagine that it is not always necessary to use a fixed color, since it is possible to distinguish which keys are black and which are white by their shape.
If you add a new black keyboard color (default color is black) and white keyboard color (default color is white) and only allow users to set other colors in newly created or modified themes, I assume it will not affect existing themes.

Please consider implementing this.

To add to this, OLED screens are becoming more and more common these days (OLED MacBooks are also supposedly coming very soon) and managing potential burn-in is a consideration.

For the past few years I’ve been regularly inverting my Renoise theme to 'even out’ the pixel usage and the instrument keyboard is the only thing that doesn’t respect this. Since it’s a very high contrast static element there’s bound to come a day where I have a nice clear keyboard image burned into my screen/s :slight_smile:

It’d be great to have more options to mitigate this sort of thing if at all possible.
