Hi all,
How do you change the envelope colors (eg sustain pedal)?
It is a light blue and against the light grey, it is hard to see...
Also, if you have more than 1 midi clip on a timeline next to each other, it is hard to see the seperation of them. It is separated by a thin grey line. Any way to change the color of the border/outline of the midi clips?
Thank you!

You need to edit the Theme's file.

Yep, to change the color for the modulation envelope adjust the value for the Modulation tag. In this example a nice yellow.
And you may also want to adjust the color when you hover over the envelope.
You can change the transparency of the clip border by increasing this alpha value. The higher the number the more opaque the border will be.
I'm not sure if this has any side-effects.

Below is general information about the theme file in case you are not familiar with it.
The location of the theme files in Windows is C:\ProgramData\Ableton\Live 11 Suite\Resources\Themes
(change the Live version to what you're using. )
On MacOS access the Applications folder. Locate the Ableton application, right-click it and select ‘Show Package Contents’. Then head to Content > App Resources > Themes.
Create a copy of the theme file you want to adjust because the standard themes will be overwritten with each update of Live.
You can open a theme file in a text editor. The contents of the file is XML. (Live 9 and older don't use XML and can't be easily adjusted.)
Look for the keyword and adjust the color to taste.
Live 10 themes use decimal values for the color whereas Live 11 themes use hexadecimal values.
There are many 'color picker' websites that show you the RGB values for a selected color.
Code: Select all
<Modulation Value=#FFBC41" />
Code: Select all
<ModulationMouseOver Value="#F87598" />
Code: Select all
<ClipBorderAlpha Value="255" />
