Hi, I have a viewing problem with measure distinction when looping a section for practice. When I used BIAB for Windows the current bar was surrounded by a different colour to the black of the selected section, making it easy to see. I am now using 2018 Mac and the current bar is just black, the same as the whole section. Black on Black does not work for distinction. Is there a way to change the colour of either the current bar or the selected section?

Thanks, I went all around the display options and simply passed over the little arrows at the top. The selections are now in different colours and working a treat. Thanks again.

I'm trying to do the same but it's not easy to see the options in the Pref > Display dialog box. When looping a section, the sections is highlighted in black, but it's hard to see the current chord since the bar playing doesn't change colour. Thanks!

Hello Pipeline! I hope you are still here. I am running biab 2019 and I believe that some of the terminology may have been changed in the color display menu. I would like to change the color of the chord being played to something other than the present black, perhaps having the adjacent area something other than white as well. My eyes need the differences due to the particulars of the lighting in my work room. I have follow your instructions above, hit the OK button, but I get no change from the default settings. I am missing something essential. Can you, or some of the other knowledgable members give me a hand? Thanks in advance, Jim

Hello all, I have finally made the color change on the chord being played. This leads me to another question, is there a tutorial (I can´t find one) that helps rebuild the color scheme of biab´s all functions? I run Reaper, where there is at support many user designed color schemes that are downloadable. Does Biab offer the possibility of changing colors in the interface in a similar fashion?

See Add a little Color Back To GUI it changes the compact view icons though you can edit the fullscreen icons.
You can't theme Biab though it has been ask for many times, you are basically stuck with those grays.
Maybe they can use this: http://www.alphaskins.com/index.php

You can use a resource editor to change colors in the Delphi forms but that's a bit of messing around.

You can use ReaTrak to integrate Biab an the Biab Plugin to Reaper.

In the skin folders now they have a PANELS folder
C:\bb\Data\CustomSkins\Factory\PANELS
this is the Gray color behind the buttons in Full Screen mode.
When I made the skin buttons for the Compact mode they didn't have this PANELS folder so I didn't create the same skin buttons for Full Screen as in Compact mode.
