-----Fonts-----

-Please install the font. Many things are designed around it.

-Windows: HaxrCorp_S8.fon  (Fixed size font)    ....or alternatively....
                PIXELA-CYR.ttf  (Variable size font. Set it to 12.)
-Mac: PIXELA-CYR.bin  (Variable size font. Set it to 12.)

Affected font in the Prefs-->Theme editor is the 'volume/pan label' font.

-----Settings-----

-I recommend to use the settings from the images in this folder.
 Especially the vu_meter settings and the scrollbar settings !

-----toolbar_blank icon-----

-Put the toolbar_blank icon into the toolbar_icons folder !
 (It's not in the ReaperThemeZip file, because of better displaying toolbar icons which don't have the standard 30x30 pixel size,
 so you can use smaller icons for your toolbars without the default one overwriting the small ones.)
 Additional toolbar icons can be downloaded from here: http://stash.reaper.fm/21933/Apollo_toolbar_icons.zip

-----Cursors-----

-Put the cursors into your REAPER/Cursors folder. (If you like them !)

-----midi_note_colormap-----

-I added another midi note colormap. Go to the MIDI editor-->File-->Load colormap, to try it.


-----COLORS-----

-Put the default.reapalette file where your reaper.ini file is.
 (Search for "random color" in the action list.)
 
 Put the Apollo.SWSColor file somewhere into your Reaper folder.
 (SWS: Open color management window. Then: Import color file)

 The Apollo.SWSColor contains 16 colors.
 The default.reapalette has the same 16 colors plus 16 additional colors.
 Every second color is slightly different from the colors in the Apollo.SWSColor file.

 To have access to all colors via toolbar buttons,
 just import the included keymap to the actions list. (Actions are starting with witti: ...)

 Now you can create a toolbar with 32 different colors.
 (toolbar icons are included in the additional downloadable Apollo_toolbar_icons.zip!)

 Toolbar will look like this:

 SWS: Set selected track(s) to costum color 1
 Custom: witti: Track color 02 (reapalette)
 SWS: Set selected track(s) to costum color 2
 Custom: witti: Track color 04 (reapalette)
 SWS: Set selected track(s) to costum color 3
 Custom: witti: Track color 06 (reapalette)
 SWS: Set selected track(s) to costum color 4
 Custom: witti: Track color 08 (reapalette)
 SWS: Set selected track(s) to costum color 6
 Custom: witti: Track color 10 (reapalette)
......


-----LAYOUTS-----

-This theme has two switches.
 The 'switches' are usually actions for the transport bar.
 I don't use them for the transport bar, so they are 'free' for other purposes
 and can be used as conditions in the code.

 The action 'Transport: Center transport controls' is a switch for the tcp.
 It will align all panels when using folders.

 The action 'Transport: Show play position tempo and time signature' is a switch for the mcp.
 It will change the look of some of the mcp layouts.
 Affected layouts are marked with an asterisk.

 (I personally put these actions into the mixer context menu and remove them from the
 transport bar menu. I've renamed them to 'TCP Switch' and 'MCP Switch'.)


-mcp/tcp Layout "----------------" is the separator. It has a name label. The name label changes it's color when it's a folder track or it is rec-armed.
-mcp master Layout "Lightbulb": The master meter works best when it's set to 'Peak Only' in the meter settings window. (Right click on the master meter.)
-mcp Layout "Stompbox" doesn't really like having track icons below a certain mcp height. (...was just too lazy to improve that...)


-----Some info about FONTS-----

Under Preferences/Theme Editor you can change the fonts for this theme.
I made some changes to the rtconfig file, so that the io-window font is
separated from the tcp/mcp/env name labels.
Makes the io-window looks cleaner and gives you more freedom for the
label fonts (via walter).


So i waltered the fonts that way:

(HaxrCorp_S8.fon)
vol/pan: -toolbar icons (no walter)
             -transport information display (no walter)
             -all vol/pan/witdh/record input labels
             -tcp track IDs / master tcp label
             -all fxlist/sendlist/fxparameter labels
             -transport BPMtap/BPMedit/playrate and time selection fields

(Microsoft Sans Serif : 8)        
track title font: IO-window (no walter)

(Tahoma : 8)
walter font 1: -all tcp/mcp/env name labels
                     -all envelope values
(Arial : 12 bold)
walter font 7: used for big mcp/tcp name labels
(Tahoma : 20 bold)
walter font 8: used for big tcp name labels

The other Walter fonts are unused.

If you are changing fonts and something looks not quite right,
you may have to change some "margins". They can be easily
found in the rtconfig file.


ENJOY !!!
