Around this time of year and for several years now, I ask for a simple feature which would make my work so much easier and yet would take almost no coding.
I use the MIXER window all the time - it's an absolutely brilliant piece of kit - and I use lots of channel inserts for effects. The problem is that the UP/DOWN state of the FX button is not easy to see at a glance, so sometimes I miss something. What I would dearly like is for the roll-over colour to change in the way it does in the TRACKS window.
Please,PLEASE, PG, this time maybe?

PS. Oh, and a button to take you straight to the input monitor would be great as well.
OK, I'll ask; how are you accessing those glyphs? EDIT: never mind, figgered it out ..
How do your Tracks look? I spend more time there, so I changed these to make a few things easier to see (like selected tracks etc.). The volume slider message is showing because I clicked on the slider to show you how it lights up when clicked, as does the panning slider.

SR, Have you tried just saving the glyph in the appropriate folder under the working Realband/PTW_Pictures/?
Usually the Skins folder. I think RB looks there first and uses an image if it exists, but otherwise uses built-in.
Try it, let me know if that works, as it would mean just saving a few images as opposed to reinstalling a hacked version of the program. I'm pretty sure the license does not encourage your methods, but simply adding customized images has been encouraged by the development team. Plus you don't need to go through the compile process.. If it works, it is a much better/safer method.

Putting the graphic in the Skins folder didn't work here in a quick test, but I bet it would be an easy wishlist item.
I have other places to try still. I like the idea and will be promoting it. If we had access to all the graphics in the list we could do some really cool stuff.

With many thanks to Solidrock for all his work, I'm hoping that we might see these improvements incorporated into RB and PT at the annual up-grade, so we don't have to use a hacked version.
rhrav - access to the skins would be cool indeed. Keep pushing!
Have you posted your request in the Wishlist section of the forums as well? That's the best place for feature requests, as nobody in the tech support department is involved in the development of our software. The development team do read posts in the Wishlist though. Thank you Kent PG Music

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
