Hi,
I did a small change to the Default theme file Default_5.0.ReaperThemeZip and noticed a big drop in file size:
Original:
7,77 MB
After customizing:
676 KB
So, it seems, the original theme file is zipped but not packed...
Why?
[REAPER] Reaper Themes ZIP or not ZIP

I found last doing that at first startup with truly zipped - it just takes a little longer.
I noticed the same as you did running trial v5.4 and trying to get theme as I wanted it - but have no real explanation other than startup might be a sec longer.
If not needing to move theme and upload and similar - you can just keep the folders with theme parts on disk.

Ok, so it's for performance reasons obviously.lfm wrote:I found last doing that at first startup with truly zipped - it just takes a little longer.
Anyway, my Reaper still starts quick (2-3 sec).

Yes, Reaper is blessed that way - low on resources.
I tried to like it a couple of times - but something that I miss compared to Cubase or Sonar.
It just feels off. VCA's are just no visuals what you did - until you apply to all to automation and remove it - in Reaper you just see on meter - oh, here levels increase and even do overs and similar. And no nesting of VCA groups.
And locking tracks does not fully work - I have a video track, and had to put video in clipboard while rearranging audio parts or copying project wide and similar.
Cubase do all that elegantly.
