While text changes color when the clip color changes (bright for dark colors, dark for bright colors) the handles and lines for fades and volume, do not. So when I assigned a bright color to a clip, I’m not seeing the fades, handles or volume lines anymore.

The lines should follow the color of the clip text and switch color to black when clips get bright.

It’s the same in Cubase 12. If you have the fade handle black and you select the clip it just disappears in the background. The only way I have found is make the waveform black and the handles white. It about the only way you can see them. It is just a little thing but it is annoying.

@Martin.Jirsak is this on the “fix” or “enhancement” list? It sure would be nice if when a clip is selected it will change to white like the event name. Thanks
