Waveform and region colouring during playback

royandreno

In ST3, during playback, the waveform and region stayed in the colour selected for that region. Played regions were shaded a bit darker which was perfect. Upcoming regions were slightly brighter. But they still stayed in colour
In ST4 played regions are much brighter and the waveform turns bright orange. It is actually quite distracting. Could we have the ST3 color logic back please?
The position bar is also much easier to see in ST3

I had also noticed 'something' felt a little 'not quite right' but hadn't looked into it.
I might be wrong, but I don't think the regions get brighter after they have played, but the waveform changing colour (?) getting brighter?) possibly just makes the region colour look brighter.

Either way, the overall behaviour feels a little 'back to front' to me. In general, I would expect the played section to get 'duller' in some form.

It might simply be a case of reversing whatever changes on the waveform (e.g. unplayed = white/bright, played = grey/dull)?

Yes, I have been noticing the same. But thinking that the overall orange tint is a thematic choice of the artist. Getting brighter/darker before/after the playhead is fine. The direction of that probably has a few different opinions. At the same time, since we can freely jump to any region it’s not like the dulling really says ”ok, this part has been played and is now history”.

I suggest removing the orange tint on the waveform and that should clear up things enough.
