Screen capture: Theme properties window (yeah, thats' me)
 
Preferred theme preview size seems to be 517 x 310 pixels (that's how SONAR shows it in preferences). I made loading preview image a bit easier
- Source image is not restricted to PNG. Use any image format Windows supports, including JPG. 
- If image is larger than 517 x 310, you can click the Fit button to scale it down. Image proportions are preserved and possible empty areas are filled with transparent ink.
- There's a also a clear button to remove preview image.  
 
Future plan: automatic preview image generator.

OK, I got it.
I'll see what I can do... Maybe user theme needs to be marked internally as "Mercury factory theme". That's rude thing to do but may actually work. :)

I asked Noel about this a while back and he said that Mercury uses a completely different internal way to show track colour overlays, but they may revisit that in the future so custom themes can use it too.

Great work on your editor, man - looks amazing! :)

Batch processing... What a novel concept. Very nice work as always!

The hacker comment gave me a nice chuckle due to a single comment posted long ago.

 
Windows Trackbars are now replaced with self-made sliders. Style and behavior is copied directly from Photoshop. My control is not as smooth as Photoshop's -  hopefully it's the debug mode that has weaker performance. 

This is a good thread - but it's not "day 1" anymore

Here in north one day is many months in summer. :D
 
But hey, I saw .NET coders here... Please help me with this if you can. How to set default values as Drawing.Color and Image (I set integers already):
 
Public Class SliderBar
    Public Event Value_Changed()

    Dim m_Value As Integer = 0
    <System.ComponentModel.DefaultValue(0)>
    Public Property Value As Integer
        Get
            Return m_Value
        End Get
        Set(value As Integer)
            m_Value = value
            CheckRange()
        End Set
    End Property

    Dim m_Min As Integer = -100
    <System.ComponentModel.DefaultValue(-100)>
    Public Property Min As Integer
        Get
            Return m_Min
        End Get
        Set(value As Integer)
            m_Min = Min
        End Set
    End Property

    Private m_Max As Integer = 100
    <System.ComponentModel.DefaultValue(100)>
    Public Property Max As Integer
        Get
            Return m_Max
        End Get
        Set(value As Integer)
            m_Max = value
        End Set
    End Property

    Public Property TextColor As Color
        Get
            Return txtValue.ForeColor
        End Get
        Set(value As Color)
            txtValue.ForeColor = value
        End Set
    End Property

    Public Property ScaleImage As Image
        Get
            Return picScale.BackgroundImage
        End Get
        Set(value As Image)
            picScale.BackgroundImage = value
        End Set
    End Property

    Public Property Pointer As Image
        Get
            Return picPointer.BackgroundImage
        End Get
        Set(value As Image)
            picPointer.BackgroundImage = value
        End Set
    End Property

    <System.ComponentModel.DefaultValue(3)>
    Public Property ScaleHeight As Integer
        Get
            Return picScale.Height
        End Get
        Set(value As Integer)
            picScale.Height = value
        End Set
    End Property

    <System.ComponentModel.DefaultValue(25)>
    Public Property PointerY As Integer
        Get
            Return picPointer.Location.Y
        End Get
        Set(value As Integer)
            picPointer.Location = New Point(picPointer.Location.X, value)
        End Set
    End Property

Thanks southpaw3473!
And BRainbow, I forgive you what happened in school. :)
 
 

HeyPanu,
Not around here much anymore but want to say well done dude. Thanks for all you give to this community.

I'm wondering (well, harping) about whether you think it would ever be possible to have the fader cap automatically follow the colour selected for the track?

This is not possible from outside SONAR. You should sent a feature request to Cakewalk instead.
 

Thanks Panu, I'm definitely looking forward to this and appreciate all that you've been doing for us since the X1 days.
Cheers!!
 
 

Thanks for your support (all these years), Mesh! :)
