REAPER annoying rainbow colors

[NSGUITAR]

So a while back I set reaper to follow Adam Watthan's PT customizations.. Now everytime I add a new track, all of the actual tracks turn all gay and multi color.. i don't mind the actual regions doing this, but it's getting annoying and I don't know how to change it.

Help?

Preferences > Appearance

uncheck "set label background to custom track colors" and "tint track panel backgrounds"

Perfect, thanks.. What if I want to then color the tracks, like in protools when you can color all drum tracks one color for example..?

 

[KillFrenzy]

you select the tracks you want to color, right click and choose one option in the "Custom track colors" submenu.

That's not working. I think it's because I did what TheDriller said, and now I can't color ANY tracks :/ goaaahh

Im pretty sure there is some combination of settings in that clusterfuck preferences panel that will allow for what you want to achieve, probably.

Hey Guys! What I try to do is the complete opposite! I want to make reaper look like this http://www.cockos.com/reaper/siteimages/v3-headss.jpg by default. I dont want to manually tint every new track i insert. any tips on this? (what i dont need are track icons like in the screenshot...)

thanks in advance!!

i know there's an option to automatically color new takes, but not sure if it works for new media/tracks.

He has forsaken you.

Found this while googling, posted by qofer on the Cockos forums:

"Not by itself. It can be done with SWS extensions tough. He calls it (drumroll) Auto Color (appears in the view menu when the extension is installed). An awesome addition I don't want to do without anymore Can auto color by name, depending on whether it has receives, is a folder parent or child, randomly for new tracks and more and all that at once .
Combined with Adams tip it will work as the OP asked for."
