Ableton Forum

So I guess the bottom line is that's it not possible to change the color of the background .
That sucks so much, having this mega powerful program ruined by UI negligence, 3 versions and 40 updates, like the hard coded shortcuts, haha what's in the coders mind... Not interface that's for sure

Should be possible by editing the deactivated clip waveform's color in the Theme.

yeah but I need that same thing for activated clips, who has only deactivated clips in a track ?

Is there a way to remove the colors in the background of the waveforms in arrangement view ?
Before Live 10 the backgrounds were transparent with colors only in the clip name bar and that suited me perfectly

This an old bug in Ableton, the best way to go around it is having a youtube video (on pause for example) in the background, and your zoom will work again. It's silly, unbelievable until you've tried it.
You'll find tons of people suffering from this, I read this tip from some guy not on this forum ...
