So what are the names of the parameters that you are changing

I going to assume that you're asking me this question.
 
If you're asking about which elements within Theme Editor I changed, there are hundreds (literally), but if you open Theme Editor, they're pretty obvious: most of the elements (within Tungsten) with that Amber/mustard-like color.
 
In Paint.net, I almost exclusively used Hue, Saturation, and Lightness. This will be similar probably no matter which color/photo/paint editor you choose to use. I used the color menu a bit, but really very little once I got into it. I did use the magic wand tool to lift some of the red marks (the record "dot", the red "strike mark on clear automation buttons, and the red "a" on the act learn buttons) and copy them onto buttons.

 
I didn't play with the greys in Tungsten much at all, really. That's part of what I like about the theme: it's very neutral just the way it is.  

Thanks for your theme developments man. I've tried a couple of them and was hope for a blue theme...which you made, so cool. 
 
Someone posted the color strips once for the Tungsten theme...you know where the whole track has a 'tinge' of colour based on the color you select for the track. I think this would be great to use as I miss it from Mercury, but I love the overall theme color of Tungsten. Any chance you might develop this at some point?
 
Thanks again for your work. +1

Well, you're welcome.
 
I'll never say "never" (darn, I just said "never"), but I'm not doing the color strips thing in the near future. At this point, I'm not doing any more theme related work; I'm just going back to music. I did what I did because Dave000 reminded how to do the work a ton quicker than I was. I had originally planned on about three themes and I did ten. So, I'm stopping for now.
 
At some point, maybe....

Hi Outland,
I never thought of looking in cakewalk content for importing themes.Silly me.
Thanks for the pointer.Sometime things staring at you are hard to spot.
I do like the green best as it Is easy on the eye and the clarity is also good.
I do think If you use the colours for tracks and consol etc It, does clash with the themes and seems to me a little on the overkill. Almost like a mondrian.
That Is my opinion only.
I am sure with careful planning things can only get better.
Big thanks for the themes
 
All the best
John

That is a feature request. Currently any theme other than Mercury does not have the ability to apply colors to strips. That is why the Preference > Customization > Colors Track Strip section has the notice  "Mercury theme only" next to the "Show strip colors" check box.

Thanks a lot Outland - time to get back to making music now!

You're very welcome.
 
And I agree with you. Someone suggested once to me, that with computer programs (and things similar) that people have to work with and look at, one is safer with a relatively neutral background color and one accent color (with that color mixed by black, grey, and white, of course). Any other colors should be sparingly used and related to given important functions or one runs the risk of loss of unity and the introduction of elements that can easily become a distraction. I've noted that the programs I find most attractive to work with (on an aesthetic level) seem to follow this rule. The dark vs. light arguments, though, tend to be more subjective.

You're welcome, John. Thanks for encouraging me to stretch a bit into orange. 

I've just seen an example of the colored strips on the Tungsten and it looked very cool. Yeah man, get back to music dude. 

Lovely stuff!
Had to make one tiny edit... changed the waveform preview colour from the default red to match the rest. :)
