hi urs. is it possible that this could be done in zebra, i suffer from ocd. so even numbers are important. currently i just don't move my eyes to the bottom of the screen but it would be so much easier if there was a way to hide the values. besides having ocd, a lot of people prefer to work my ear instead of focusing on values.

now, normally i would never ask for such a feature request (steinberg products always offer a way to hide values) but i know your no ordinary run of the mill developer. in fact it wouldn't even surprise me if you could create a fix like this in only a few hours. but i just thought id ask.

Hah, that's quite an unusual request.

Do I understand this right - you would like the edit display on the top to not show any values while you're tweaking a knob?

Cheers,

yep. that is correct. in propellerhead reason you can 'turn off' show parameters, in steinberg products, you can 'hide' them.

I'll try to think of something. But unfortunately have to leave you in a state of uncertainty for a while. Leaving for a trade show tomorrow, I can't get onto it straight away.

How about an option to change the color of the text in the box? Then you could just make it black to hide it.

Sometimes visual things can trick my brain. There are times I was adjusting the volume slightly on the wrong track and thinking it was adjusting the volume, but it really wasn't. Sometimes I close my eyes and trust my ears, and not my eyes. Try closing your eyes (I'm not joking). Maybe a Post-It-Note on your computer screen? Not sure if that would put sticky stuff on your monitor.

It's possible to completely make that text transparent. Open the Zebra2.txt file of the skin you're currently using, and among the first 100 lines you will find something like this:

Code: Select all

COLOUR name='Text InfoDisplay' rgba='ffffffc9'

Change it to:

Code: Select all

COLOUR name='Text InfoDisplay' rgba='ffffff00'

That will make it 100% transparent.

@Evil Dragon; Unfortunately that'll also hide the preset name.

OP has OCD, perhaps even that bothers him

One can always go to the patch browser to see the currently loaded preset.

I guess so. Just thought I'd mention it.
