New tracks in Ardour are assigned a random color from a pastel color
|
|
palette, so they should never end up being particularly bright or
|
|
particularly dark.

<h2>Changing the color of specific tracks</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Changing the color of a track is done by selecting the track(s) and
|
|
<kbd class="mouse">right</kbd> clicking on the track header of one of them then
|
|
from the context menu, selecting <kbd class="menu">Color</kbd> and picking a hue
|
|
in the color dialog. Every selected track will be re-colored.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p class="note">
|
|
If only one track is changed, <kbd class="mouse">right</kbd> clicking on
|
|
that track's header will be enough to select it, saving the extra mouse click.
|
|
</p>

<h2>Changing the color of all tracks in a group</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Tracks that belong to a
|
|
<a href="@@the-track-and-bus-group-list">track/bus group</a>
|
|
can share a common color by enabling the <kbd
|
|
class="option">Color</kbd> option for the group. With this enabled,
|
|
any color change will be propagated to all group members.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The group color can also be explicitly changed by context-clicking
|
|
on the group tab in the Mixer, selecting <kbd class="menu">Edit
|
|
Group…</kbd> and then clicking on the Color selector in the displayed
|
|
dialog.
