Who wanted such a re-new color tool?

I was on Cubase 5.5 for a lot of years because I didn’t want to pay for the new computer, interface, and upgrade all of the software. So I came back into the loop with 9.5. I don’t understand why things that would be so useful don’t get done. You should be able to color a track by a key command. No window at all. There is so much inconsistency in the interface. I like C10 as I was able to get to a color that I liked quicker and i am learning all of the workflow again.

You can do that now via the PLE

Desperately need the color tool back

I have a PLE preset for each color and have Metagrid setup with a button for each color (all with the color’s label/name and the button colored to match). Then just hit the button. It looks like this, which I think is how the new Color Tool UI should also look.

You can do the same with Key Commands but if you have a large color pallet it will eat up a lot of key combos.

There is another thread out there about triggering the PLE presets from a midi keyboard which gets around the limited number of available key combos.
