Invert text colour based on background.

Post by sporkles » Sat Jun 22, 2013 11:28 am

I'd like text colour to be inverted when the background reaches a certain brightness/darkness threshold, to increase legibility. Black text on dark clip/track/scene colours and white text on bright colours are hard to read; this is why I don't use dark skins in Live, as opposed to in image editors and Traktor, where background colours are not user editable.

+1,000,000 why are there default colors that are extremely dark that have black text. Makes the dark colors almost useless. Seems like it should be an easy fix. And will result in less eye bleeding and easier prettier sets for live performance. Since live doesn't even allow custom colors each color should have an associated text color that looks great with it.
