Well to me the interface of C9.5 is yes all black, your right, it is not that colourfull. And the way in preferences to set colors is ok, but it is all dark. One guy on the forum said he used a sort of brown colour, so i changed that in prefs. To me black is good, or lets say cubase 9.5 has a dark interface. And i like it because i like black and it seems i can view it a lot longer time then brighter colours. So for me it is all fine, my cubase now looks like an old vintage dark black-brown colour. I like it. Being said that yes, you cannot seem to get Cubase 9.5 with white colors or anything, and that is hopefully to be changed. Mainly hopefully mr steinberg can make a cubase that really lets you setup the color you really want. The same goes for the way 9.5 is like, windows and opening or closing is devided into things that has gotten way better to work with. But opening en closing effects windows, while i like the tabbed interface more. (i hate windows that open and close and disappear behind echt other). So C9.5 is quite ok with all of it. I like it good, so i understand if there are users that do not have what they wanted or haven had in the past and lost it, specially colours.
I came from SX3 and C6, so C9 is quite good for me because i like thay way its all dark, so when i revert back to SX3 and C6, i can favour C9.5 over all.
But i understand Cubase overall should have colour schema’s that revert back to the looks of older versions ?
I don’t have the feeling that design-wise Steinberg is either listening or noticing where the most important shortcomings are.
Instead they optimise things (like 9.5 custom color feature), nobody asked them for.
By trying to make it better they make things kind of worse.
Saying that, I must admit that I still work with C9 -
but one the the main reasons for that is this dark scheme custom color thing they introduced in 9.5
in general yes there is. The OP wants to be able to control more areas. Which I agree with by the way. But I did this one as a joke in about 1 minute. Getting a light theme is easily possible, getting a contrasting light theme because of specific areas that can’t be customized is difficult.
There is no way to really lighten the mixer GUI or the Inspector. if so please show me how to attain the view on the left of my attachment, which is C9 while the view on the right is C9.5, as light as i could get it
the mixconsole is not fixable … as we keep saying, there are specific areas that need to be exposed. The color choice system isn’t really the problem. It’s a bit unnecessarily limited, but the real issue is the choice of what to color.
Why isn’t it ‘fixable’ as you say? It was just fine before. I have been loyal to Cubase since VST 32 and never encountered such a dark and drab GUI. I certainly won’t update to 9.5 unless this is rectified
