GUI color changing [Tutorial Request]

I'm just wondering if anyone knows how to change the color of the GUI like when the notes are selected and ect. ...

Uh, you may know this already but I'll post it for if anybody else is looking for it.

Go to your UTAU folder and open with notepad "setting.ini" (UTAU shouldn't be running). I suggest you to use Japanese locale or notepad with AppLocale in Japanese. Well, I suggest you doing a safety copy for that file so you can recover it if you break anything.

There, near the bottom, there are some lines like:

Code:

COLOR_PIANO1=&HFFFFFF
COLOR_PIANO2=&H404040
COLOR_ROLL1=&HFFFFFF
COLOR_ROLL2=&HE0E0E0
COLOR_SEPA1=&HFF40FF
COLOR_SEPA2=&HFF8080
COLOR_BACK=&HFFFFFF
COLOR_FORE=&H000000
COLOR_SHADOW=&H808080
COLOR_NOTE_NOR=&HFFC000
COLOR_NOTE_TOP=&HFF80FF
COLOR_NOTE_SEL=&HFF40FF
COLOR_NOTE_TNOR=&H000000
COLOR_NOTE_TTOP=&H800000
COLOR_NOTE_TSEL=&H800000
COLOR_NOTE_RNOR=&HFFFFFF
COLOR_NOTE_RTOP=&HC0C0C0
COLOR_NOTE_RSEL=&H808080
COLOR_PTCH_SEL=&H0000FF
COLOR_PTCH_NOR=&HFF0000
COLOR_TEMPO_NOR=&H0000FF
COLOR_TEMPO_ALL=&HFF0000
COLOR_PITCH_NOR=&H808080
COLOR_SELECTBAR=&HC0C0C0
COLOR_HILIGHT=&H00FFFF


Just change that hex numbers after the "&H" -"&H" must be unchanged- to the ones of the colour you want for everything.

So, if you want your piano keyboard to be red instead the classical white then exchange

Code:

COLOR_PIANO1=&HFFFFFF

(FFFFFF is white) for

Code:

COLOR_PIANO1=&HFF0000

(FF0000 is red).

You can check codes for example here or really in a lot of programs around.

If you happen to break "setting.ini" and didn't a safety copy, just delete it and UTAU will remake a default one. But take in count you'll have to recustom all your features (path of tools, resampler, note default, etc).

can you help me on which setting changes what
also seems like nothing is changing im using
00008D
and nothing has changed i, even put it as the color or all of them and nothing had changed

Instead of making a very long list let me point you to a blog in Japanese that shows what is each thing:

You can use an online traslator like google if needed (it's what i did). The traslation is not that bad this time.
Experimentation can help, too.

And really, remember to keep the &H before the number or else it won't work.
