Changing color preference for the "Choose part type" popup panel, when drawing a new part

[Improviser]

Clicking and dragging on a new empty track, to draw a new part, produces the usual popup panel - allowing the part type to be selected (Audio Part, Sequence Part or Automation Part).

Recently, in my setup, the icons for the part types seem to have become coloured white, and are therefore invisible against the white background of the panel.

Is there a way to adjust the colouring for this panel (I'm not sure of its correct name) - perhaps via: MULAB -> GUI -> Colors ?

Thanks.

That popup chooser currently uses Main Editor Back Color as back color and Button Fore Color. as fore color. In case you choose a light Main Editor Back Color and the Button Fore Color also is a light color, there indeed is a practical mismatch. It seems more logical for that popup dialog to use the Panel Back Color as back color or Main Editor Fore Color as fore color. I'll look into that.

Thanks for the colors info.

My color settings for 'Main Editor Back Color' and 'Button Fore Color' are indeed both very light. So that explains the 'invisibility' problem.

I'll retain my Button settings, because they are currently nice and clear - ie light text on dark background (in the 'off' state). And so rather than changing the Button Fore Color, I've modified the 'Main Editor Back Color', by making it a very pale pink (almost white, but with a hint of pink). As a temporary measure, this background is a perfectly usable for the midi editor, etc., and it does provide just enough background color in the part-type selection panel for me be able to see the options icons.

As you say, maybe sometime it might be worth a closer look at the color arrangements for this particular panel.

As always, thanks for your help.

In the next version the Choose New Part Type dialog will use the Panel Back Color as back color. That's indeed a more consistent use of the prefered user colors.

Excellent.
