Dark Theme

Hello Guys!! I have a question. Did anyone manage to leave the REAPER plugins on "Windows 10" looking like this, or close to it? See pic. Thanks!

Yes. I have my Windows 10 theme set to a high contrast theme. Using a dark bg etc...

No problem :)

So currently we have to risk breaking Windows 10 (only for this to be potentially undone in a Win10 update anyway) to get these more easy on the eye dark backgrounds. Yet using Hwhalen's modificaton of the Reaper 6 theme if you turn off the GUI in any Cockos plugin the naked sliders display in the more eye pleasing dark shade. That being the case why don't the Cockos GUI's also take this tint instead of the light grey that reminds you of Win95?

I'll still use Reaper but I am no longer monogamous for various reasons. A big thing is hardware synth integration is seamless in bitwig and also uses the Ableton link ecosystem which is fantastic for integrating iOS apps as well. Reaper falls apart when you try to make IT slave to another clock reliably. Different developer focus is basically what it amounts to and that's totally fine because Reaper is cheap enough to justify using it with Bitwig. I could never understand why at the very least they couldn't and won't implement a simple dark version of the windows 95 looking gui elements. I'm not looking for vector compatibility or fancy graphic design just simply dark or light as it is now and that is for whatever reason not acceptable to team Reaper which is completely their prerogative. I personally hate light or bright gui elements in general and am not normal I realize. When I use one of many awesome dark themes made for Reaper and then I have to open a horrid and bright windows 95 looking window it's visually a gut punch.

I've made it a feature request (I guess done to death before?):

I'm running Windows 10. The color I'm using ss a solid background is 42-45-51 Choose a High Contrast Theme then Select Custom Color Background then choose Custom Color and set the custom color to 42-45-51. In colors I have Transparency Effects OFF as well as Choose your default app mode DARK. There are 4 theme images that are also involved here they provide the look of the controls. gen_volbg_horz.png gen_volbg_vert.png gen_volthumb_horz.png gen_volthumb_vert.png That's it as far as I know. Cheers!
