Default theme updates, macOS font tweaks


REAPER 7.0: Several People Are Typing

Lanes/Comping
support fixed-lane tracks, to arrange media items in fixed lanes
support setting individual lanes to play back or not play back
support automatically recording overlapping media to separate lanes, either layered (multiple lanes play back at once) or not (only the last recorded lane plays back)
v6 option for overlapping recording to create new media items is replaced by option to add lanes; playback behavior is identical to v6
support minimizing, maximizing, or collapsing track lanes
support adding lanes by dragging media to a hashed 'parking area', automatically removing empty lanes
support naming individual lanes, resizing lane name area
support reordering fixed lanes by dragging lane buttons up/down
support targeting a specific lane or free item position when pasting media items and razor edits
add many actions to support editing, manipulating, playing back, comping, and coloring items in fixed lanes
add mouse modifier contexts for fixed lane header buttons, fixed lane comp areas (including click/double-click contexts)
add many theme elements for fixed lane and comp area display
support recording into specific lanes or new lanes
add actions to explode items in lanes to tracks, implode items on tracks to lanes, optionally creating comp areas
existing actions to switch active take (T/shift-T by default) will switch the comp area under the mouse up or down as well
add import option to add multiple media on fixed lanes on a single track
tracks that are grouped for media/razor edits are also grouped for lane actions and edits
when exiting fixed lane view, lanes that are not playing are hidden; hidden lanes are restored when re-entering fixed lane view
create a comping lane by double-clicking or right-clicking the lane button, or clicking the comping button on a razor edit, or using arrange view mouse modifiers
while comping, mouse-drag in source lanes to create comp areas; comped media is copied to the comping lane
comp areas create editable copies of source media
mouse modifiers for comp areas include behaviors to change comp area source lane, limit comp areas to media item edges, move media items along with comp areas, attach comp area edges to adjacent comp area edges, create time selection including pre-roll/post-roll for previewing
while comping, edits to media item edges/fades/crossfades in comping lane will also affect comp areas (comp areas fades/crossfades can be individually edited this way)
while comping, edits that cause comping-lane media to go out of sync with source-lane media will display a re-comp button on the comping lane media
clicking re-comp button will copy edited media to a new source lane, to use as an alternative edit along with existing source media
optionally support editing source media while comping (edits immediately affect the comping lane)
add options to automatically create comp areas for new recording while comping
ensure that new recording is in the same lane for all grouped tracks •
