I have been having trouble with the color scheme of SM after about an hour, the current appearance is just to bright for eyes after about an hour of exposure. I search to see if I could tone it down abit but did not see any controls for this. It would be a nice quality for the program since those that are working most likely spend a good deal of time in front the monitor. Cubase, for example, allows me to make the entire program darker not just track colors.

I know that this will most likely be a non-issue for most & I did not see it requested anywhere else so I think most are happy with it as is, its just me I guess.

Sorry for the stupid answer, but, for the moment, can't you just use the controls of contrast and brightness of your monitor display? Anyway I would like to change the background me too...maybe a just an additional "blacky" option would be sufficient... 🙂

Yes, that is sort tempory fix. I don't really like that idea since I would constantly have to readjust my monitor just to use SM. It would be much more effective if I could just make areas dark blues & grays and save this color scheme to sm and then have it each time I open it. Even if I could just make the schematic area a dark gray and perhaps do away with the grid (and activate it when I need it). I guess such customization is extra work, when that could be spent on others things, but it is feature about other program that I alway use!

Well. I have to agree with Hlis93. Great name btw...

If I have the option to alter the colors in a prgram. i always do it. I like darker apps. Makes the important stuff pop out a bit.

If it needs to much work it shouldnt be on the top list of things to do. But it would still be nice to have it.

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
