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




You're welcome and thanks. But which waveform preview did you change exactly (which section was that under)?

On the master bus you can select waveform preview and it will draw a rough waveform in that track strip as the project plays. To change it in theme editor I just searched waveform and it was the only result. Looks like the path is theme> track view> bus pane> bus waveform preview.

That's what I thought you meant. I left it the original color so it wouldn't match the theme. Believe it or not, it's pretty clear that they didn't change it in Tungsten to match that theme; that's just a coincidence. The question is raised because in Mercury the waveform button to which the color corresponds is the same color- it's an ID color match (which is not to say someone can't prefer it changed), is the Tungsten accent color, and it would have no reason to be that color without the waveform preview default color matching the waveform preview button. 
 
I don't know that this particularly helpful. But the omission wasn't an oversight.
 
This is all offered in the spirit of FWIW. Your mileage may vary.

But the whole point is that we can tweak these things ourselves if we want
I've got a few "custom" tweaks of my own (TV folder color, icon color for frozen track) that I'm adding to any theme I uses ;-)

Oh, yes, for sure, John. I don't consider that I "own" the themes in any sense of the word; that's not what I meant. (If that was the case, I'd had never done about half of them or shared them. The warm colored themes were for you guys. I'll doubt I'll ever use them, except maybe at Halloween and Christmas. Even then, I'd probably more often opt for black and green, respectively ).
 
I was actually referring specifically to waveform preview button and its related color. When I first saw them I assumed they were related specifically to the Tungsten theme, but they are not; they are an ID (like "red" for "record") for the waveform function. The amber color is just a coincidence.  I was just noting for the Tuneboxii and the readers of the post, so that, if they're into maintaining that sort of thing, they don't make the same mistake I did. I tried to aim for consistency in the themes I did.

Oh I wasn't suggesting it was necessarily something you'd missed. Just that the red waveform itself seemed a bit off to me, so I changed it to match the theme. Just preference really. It's awesome that the editor allows us to do this sort of thing!  

Also I'm colourblind, so the more bright yellow contrast, the better! :D

Please do feel free to suggest I missed something, please! I have a hard time believing that I was truly that thorough. If you find something, let out a yell or the equivalent.
 
And if you're color-blind, you must really think the Theme Editor is a god-send. Good for you.

I used this "Tungsten Yellow" theme all weekend, and love it.
Thanks, Outland. You're awesome.
