Change Pattern Loop Marker To Use Font Color Instead Of Body Backgroun

[Beatslaughter]

I know, it’s a minor thing, but a lot of us love dark themes and due to that, the pattern loop block is often hardly visible. Changing it to the used font shouldn’t be a big problem for old themes i guess? On the picture it would be orange.

that’s something i once suggested about one year ago during the 1.8 alpha days, lemme repost my thoughts:

the marker-color which vertically indicates the looped pattern area at the very left of the renoise GUI is linked the “Body_Back” color.
this is a bad thing when the colors of the “Main_Back” and “Body_Back” parameters are equal, because then, you won’t be able to acutally see the markers for the looped area at all.
wouldn’t it be possible to link it to “selection_back” + “standby_selection_back” or any other color param?

i know it’s a minor “bug”, but trying to give renoise a consistent look fails due to this circumstance.

i meanwhile think it’s not a minor problem, because dark themes are those being really easy on the eye but are really not possible with renoise without getting a “milky” background at least.

So it is wise to set an independant and customizable color for looped patterns area rather than linking it to body_back color.
