![]() Obviously there'll be a massive disclaimer about backing up LogicProX. ![]() The only danger is that by using internals like this, any update of LogicProX could render such an app completely broken and doing damage. Someone will probably beat me to it and, actually, I'm starting with just track icons. Hopefully a 3rd party app will be created to help LogicProX users change the GUI colours. The output meter, for instance, has it's clip position in RED rather than orange. So the location is a position of the fader from 0 (bottom) to 1 (top) and you can have whatever combination of colours and gradients you wish. From 0.82 to 0.92, display levels in YELLOW. From 0.67 to 0.82, display a gradient between GREEN and YELLOW. You can see from looking at this that the meter will be displayed as follows - from position 0 to 0.67 (about two-thirds up), display the levels in GREEN (I've added the name of the colour so you can easily see what does what). It looks like all can be changed, and here's how it works. There are a variety of meters in Logic - the channel strip ones, the performance meters, the meters in the global toolbar and the ones in the track header, the channel strip gain reduction meters and so on. Specifically, the "Colors" section describes many colours, and is subdivided by type (Eg "Piano Roll"). Note: Back up this file first before making changes! It should also be possible to edit existing images (eg fader graphics) or possibly add new images to avoid overwriting system images (untested at this time) to apply your own customisations as well. Replacing this file on your system with a customised one is all that is needed to apply GUI customisations (at least, customisations that involve no changed images). It is possible to share your GUI customisations by just sharing your edited version of this file with others. Changing the colours of many gui elements Changing the selection of available colours for tracks and regions Changing the arrange or editor backgrounds and division lines Changing the channel strip gain reduction meter Changing the mixer channel strip meters This file can be edited in a plain text editor (BBEdit, Text Edit, TextMate etc) or a property list editor such as Apple's Xcode (Property List Editor). Applications/Logic Pro X.app/Contents/Frameworks/amework/Versions/A/Resources/ist But that might be a helpful tip, too.It seems that many of Logic's colours are controlled by a plist file in it's resources: It seems to always be formatted as a hex color with #, regardless of your selected grammar. I just checked, and you can in fact, as Gerd suggested, drag from DCM to TextMate. Bit of a workaround, but that kind of stuff usually goes a long way compared to manually launching DCM, copying, then reformatting the number as needed. I suppose you could write a command that launches DCM for you ( "open -a DigitalColor\ Meter" should work), then another to grab the clipboard contents (assuming you've copied the color from DCM) and properly format it for your current needs. Then, no, I know of no way to do what you want. ![]() ) The issue is that the color picker does not accurate select a color based on your current color profile, so it's selection are off unless you set your color profile to match the color profile that color picker is using (not ideal if you like a calibrated screen).ĭCM on the other hand picks the color based on your current color profile so the results always match what you see on screen.Īh, thanks for explaining your reasoning further. I know how to use color picker, that's not the issue.
