[5138] color of playback position line: black or white?

Post by gerle » Fri Feb 20, 2009 12:28 am

I am surprised that the playhead line was changed to black.

I prefer the Live 7's playhead, its color is always inverted depend on the background, white on the black waveform. It is visible much better in clip view than the entirely black one, especially in a dj booth by bad light condition.

Could we get it back?

bump:)
The poll says me that I'm not the one who hate this new black playhead.
The thin black line is inconspicuous on the dark gray waveform.
Especially if the track is very compressed and zoomed-out to see the whole track.
In Live 7 you can see the position in first sight.
Let me know your opinion.
I would gladly hear something about this from Ableton guys too:)

Hi,

I moved the thread to the bugs section. What has changed is, the playhead used to invert colour (to white) over a dark waveform. This is broken.

Regards,
Amaury

Edit: I deleted the Poll, as we don't need it here.

This one should be fixed with the most recent beta, Live 8.0b26.
