Colour options for automation lines - For us colour blind

Hi guys,


I'm finding the red automation lines impossible to decipher in Ableton 11 now the waveform is constantly behind them...It's really a struggle (perhaps because I'm partly colour blind to be honest)

Can you put in preferences the option to change the colour of them please? - If I could set them as say white, I'd have no issue seeing them - It would really help me a lot as I'm feeling like I really downgraded in this section of Ableton now and it's actually slowing me down

Thanks

Live .ask themes are text, you can open them in any text editor, search for "automation", and replace the Hex Color value (like #d85248).

https://sonicbloom.net/en/ableton-live- ... new-skins/

https://color-hex.org/

Editing the whole theme that way is too much work (IMO), but changing just one color is easy.

You can also simply search for alternative Live themes, there are lots of them made by people out there, pretty easy to find.

Perfect thanks - Yes I have the 'best' colours for me anyway...so just changing the colour of the automation line is perfect, thanks both!

This post has helped me out too as I am partly colourblind and was struggling to see the automation colour. Have it set to yellow now :-)
