Just upgraded from Cubase 5 to 8.5: part appearance question

Cubase

Hi all

new year, new computer, new Cubase… Finally upgraded from 5 to 8.5, and my first task is to try and mitigate the darkness of the new interface, which I’ve largely done, but I don’t seem to be able to get the parts looking the way I’m used to. Is there a way to get things looking the same, mostly transparent like in this screenshot?

Cheers.

Transparent events are long gone I’m afraid.

Shame. Everything’s so much clearer this way…
