Dear Renoise Team, in the next version of Renoise, please could you add one different colour between “Samples” & “VSTi Plugins” ? Why ? Because when I compose a music, I need know what instruments are samples and VSTi Plugins…
I would have guessed the note in the pattern editor. You don’t always want to be referencing between the two areas to work out which tracks are using what type of instrument.
I would have guessed this also, if I really sat and thought about it.
But I’m trying to prove a point here…
Forcing us, the developers, to guess what you’re talking about is a pretty terrible way to work. When people make feature requests or suggestions, they should be 100% clear about what it is they’re asking for. We’re not mind readers, after all.
1°) “See Dblue’s picture” : Colors don’t run correctly changing color from “Value_Box Font”.
2°) In the pattern editor for a different color between “VSTi Plugins” & “Samples”.
In general, I think that color settings in Renoise 2 from “Theme Files” don’t run correctly… Sorry ! For me, since the beginning of Renoise 2, the color settings should be configure by block :
Disk Brower
Track Scopes
Master Scopes
Master Spectrum
Pattern Editor
Mixer
Sample Keyzones
Sample Editor
Pattern Sequence
Track Colors : OK
Track DSPs
Automation
Instrument Settings
Song Settings
In each block, we could change the color settings in : text, button back, button font, selection back, selection font, fader, etc.
