Ardour 9 was released recently and I think you should take a look at it.

Is it?

Trolling at your end? Yep.

The same will probably happen with my hint about the Adobe Color tool, which can help fix the themes.

From earlier in the thread when a few valiant souls tried to talk about actually useful stuff:

viewtopic.php?p=9200332&hilit=prokoudine#p9199971

I ran all themes through color blindness simulation filters, and only Blueberry Milk and Captain Light present major issues when looking at e.g. clock or icons. Additionally, Clear Gray is generally low-contrast, which makes it difficult to read the UI text, but that has little to do with color blindness.

I'm happy to fix things, but I need to know more.

Another user has already pointed out that the themes could be improved.

1. themes are user-contributed except for the default "dark" theme
2. "improve this theme" is (color-blindness notwithstanding) rather subjective and very hand-wavy. Someone did a theme 2 weeks ago which I think is truly appalling in every way (contrast, overall tone, legibility) ... a dozen users jumped in on our chat channel to say they loved it.

what thread? about the new theme? it was in our IRC chat channel, it's not readable unless you were there ...

The biggest problem for me is red text on black backgrounds, its very hard to see.

So I should test for tritanopia in your case?

I'm another Ardour contributor here and I already stated that I'm willing to make changes to accommodate colorblind users.

Robocop software!

FYI, versions 9.1/9.2 are out with MIDI note chase and note duplication (select, then Ctrl/Cmd-d).
