I have a replacement image for the crappy looking drum in the bb-editor, which I think many people will like. If not, we'll just remove it entirely. As for boosted saturation for icons, here's my opinion on it: I don't think it's necessarily a good idea. That's exactly what was problematic with the old style, everything being so colorful and garish, which just makes the UI look too busy, messy and confusing. The same problem is with the KDE default theme, for example. UI icons shouldn't be colourful, because in modern software, UI is expected to stay out of the way and not compete for attention with the actual content. To this end, I've strived to limit the colours used in icons, and the UI in general - and to use a consistent palette all around. Now coming to think of it, the bb-editor icons should probably be the same colour as instrument tracks, not the same as sample tracks, so that's probably something I'll have to fix. The colour of the automation track icons is also the same colour that is used for the automation tracks themselves. I think it's a good colour, since it gives a good contrast with the dark background of the tracks - a more saturated blue would by necessity be darker, and this would lower the contrast in the tracks which would not be a good idea at all. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.
