Version 13: Please make it possible to use dark backgrounds for meters and curves like in 12

Thank you so much!

Don't thank me just yet haha

Yes, I noticed this immediately, as well: I love the Titanium theme (it's one of the few I really do love), but the new, light meters look totally off. Sorry. The colors just don't work, and they really stick out. I'm not sure how this was seen as an improvement, really. It's a real head-scratcher for me. The black bars on very light grey background just seems... odd. It really clashes, I have to be honest.

Either way, thank you for your offer to restore things. I love my Melda plugins, but I've always felt the GUIs weren't their strongest point in terms of aesthetics. Most of the themes have just never felt quite right to me, so it's sad when one I really do like unexpectedly changes, and not for the better. Please don't fix what isn't broken in the future. Thanks.

No problems with the feature changes made to the interface, but I have big problems with the changes in the look. I use the MLoudnessAnalyzer a lot for example and version 13 made it from loving it to disliking it.

Please make it possible to use the same dark look as in 12 with 'titanium' also in version 13.

The bright grey backgrounds for meters and curves and some other backgrounds are really holding me back to use 13. You can't change this element via settings. It's a huge pita for me to be honest. So big that I think I will stay with version 12 forever otherwise.

'Titanium' theme was a great and very balanced dark theme in version 12. I would love to have the same look in version 12. The version 12 'Titanium' theme is so much nicer and easier to look at (also the mild yellow botton color is a lot nicer).

I re-installed both demo versions for MdistortionMB quickly to show the difference. It's just an example, it's not only about this specific plugin, most plugins have now large bright areas.

Maybe a toggle for dark/bright mode in the stye configuration at least?

Otherwise I love you plugins melda.

you can get darker analyzer area with Neon theme just with tweaking colors..



it would be better if we can set this color separatly.. but Vojtech already have issues because he initially gave us too many customization options so...

Problem is, I like the Titanium theme way better than Neon. I wish developers would just learn to leave well enough alone. I really can't think of a more irritating software paradigm than constant evolution just for the sake of changing stuff around. I'd much prefer that things that have been perfected would be regarded as "classic" and preserved and protected. I mean, did we learn nothing from the continued success of classic guitars or synths, and now the 1:1 reissues that are selling so well? Once something is essentially perfect, you don't change it up, just 'cause. Unless you're asking for more aggravation for yourself or your company pays you to look busy (many in this industry do; I should know) and find stuff to shuffle around unnecessarily and justify it with a jargon-laden Powerpoint. It's very common, sadly. It's also my bane.

There is nothing to stop you using Titanium (and even going back to v12 to get its Titanium version if you want).

Then as you use a plug-in, select Titanium and Set the current style as Default, then in each other plug-in, select Default Style. After that you should be OK. But, to be safe, do the first part after each install.
