Title says most, my screen resolution is 1920x1080 and I would prefer one in which you can see fader dB value in the track list next to the arrangement window.

Thank you!

For me easily it's the Logic theme.

...none of which will be particularly easy on the eyes...

At two occasions I tried to like Reaper and spent some time looking for themes and also modifying parts a bit that I did not favour colors chosen. Developers of themes seem to very different settings for contrast and brightness - because I often cannot see certain parts. And my monitors are calibrated for grayscale all the way from seing grays 0-5 from each other, as well as 250-255. And some do not spend enough time actually using Reaper - to get what is good design and when you start loosing functionality.

My favourite among donations themes are Alberts Protools X Gold. But not on all parts, there really is a lot that is not to my taste. How monitor lit button is tiny almost invisible, and how he chose still keep expand/collapse of folders in mixer very high up. The drag-n-drop new sends were gone etc, you had to rightlick somewhere for a menu instead.

Aweful amount of work doing a theme that really do everything as original theme do. One that I liked quite a bit Konzentration or similar. But not everything was there but the most obvious, so not really usable - you go back to main default theme.

I tested Reaper 5.4 last summer, and still was not enough to choose from so I could like it's looks. Just about everything works in Reaper - but the looks of the plugin dialog etc - what is that? After almost 15 years still that dialog. Works well, but looks Justin - what is that.

I will look at Reaper 6 if something improved in the theme arena. should not be long, I think.

If you’re really interested in knowing what is easy on the eyes then go to colormatters.com or similar. It’s complicated. And what’s easiest on the eye may not be the most inspiring. Or in vogue. In the rush away from skeuomorphic many have gone to flat, which creates a whole host of other issues in terms of not killing recognition times.

If you’re just looking for opinions, never mind.

I'm very happy with Janne2016 II.

Well "easy on the eyes" is subjective but the requirements to have fader value in the TCP narrows it down somewhat. But it might be more productive to list themes out of the running. Like JRENG!, which is simply too big.

On Windows the ReaperTheme file association should automatically install and load it into Reaper. There are Action shortcuts to swap instantly, too. Just gotta audition the ones with the most activity on the Forum and Stash.

This is the one I've been using since 2016:

There is a slightly advanced compact version but I dislike the faders on this..

Actually, its physiological. Attractive is subjective. Sorry, just slightly misinterpreting your intent to make a point.

I use Hydra: https://stash.reaper.fm/theme/2085/HYDRA.ReaperThemeZip
I find it both easy on the eye and easy to use

This one looks really cool, but what I kinda don't like about it is the faders... Very easy to miss grab. Is that something that can be changed? I am not too advanced in this sort of stuff

Options > layouts > Mixer panel > mixer

gives you a more traditional mixer.
Where you click on the fader is where it goes

The most Easy-on-the-eyes Reaper theme
