Song Color Coding

ELG

Hi Peter
Amazing app and so helpful for a gigging musician. I have a question. Is it possible to add “No Color” or “Transparent” as an option within User Interface - Color Settings?

Or I totally did not see it as an option.

peter

What should transparent mean? Should it be invisible? What use would that be?

ELG

Hi Peter,
Besides the current use of color coding (or highlighting) for current song, next song and already played song, it would be nice to be able to select “no color or” for each, if needed. My use would be to deselect the color from the “next song”, so that the only current song is highlighted.

Oh you mean for the song markers. I don't think that would make any sense for the usability. ST3 highly depends on the preselection logic. If you turn the visuals off you would no longer see which song will be played next. Which would cause lots of surprise moments during a gig as every time you tap on a song, it would be selected to play next but you would not see any visual indication of this.

The only marker where it makes sense is the "DONE" marker and that can already be disabled in the user interface settings.

Hi Peter, the song markers are fine. Play - Next - Done. In fact they help a lot and I use all three. I meant the color of the marker and entire row when the song is selected. Is there a way to add an option to have “no color” for the marker?

peter

So you would like to keep seeing the marker but there should be no highlight of the whole cell? What color should the marker then have?

ELG

Yes, keep seeing the marker, but to be able to not have color, to be transparent. And I mean just as an option added to already exiting color choices.

OK, I think now I understand. I will add it to my todo list for version 3.7.

Peter, that’s brilliant!!! Much appreciated!!!
