Looks like about 3 lines were removed.

Good find. That's it.

It uses mixcraft9.VisualElementsManifest.xml to trigger it.

You can create a similar file & folder for MC8 if you want it to have a custom tile icon.

I also failed to check the Classic FX box during install and they did not show up in MC9. I simply copied them & the FX folder from MC8 over to MC9 and rescanned VSTs. Now they do show up.

Hi,

I'm also seeing it in 32-bit build 442 with the Mixcraft 8 visual theme.

Greg

Uh, yup. Guess I forgot that li'l detail.

MC9 has a nice icon that fills the entire tile square for the Start Menu screen whereas MC8 and and all my older apps have tiny icons in the center of the tile. Is this a new Windows Update thing, a newer icon from the app itself, or can the old icons be updated similarly?

Is it part of the old Mixcraft 8 color scheme in the nw Mixcraft 9, that when you solo a track the other tracks go grey and disappear?

Haha! Good catch, Tom. I'll file a bug report.

Thanks for reporting that.

This appears to only happen in 64bit. 32bit looks normal.

Possibly...

Hi,

Did you update to build 442?

Greg

As mentioned, yes. I ran the update thru the Help Menu. Apparently the "skins.csv" file wasn't updated so I fixed it myself.

OK, so how does one go about implementing the new/old theme? It's not in the usual place under Preferences - Display. EDIT: I found the "skins.csv" file was not updated when I ran the 442 update. If you have the same issue, open "skins.csv" in Note Pad and add the following line: "Version 8","mixski...

Another idea that I've wanted along those lines is the ability to color, or shade, *vertical* sections much like tracks are colored horizontally. This could be used for example to denote verse, bridge, chorus, etc, sections across all tracks. Basically you would highlight the area, right click, and...

The option to go either way would be cool. But not one or the other.

BTW, the pic reminds me of Studio One.

Honestly I see no reason why both GUIs can't exist as choosable options in Preferences. Maybe in a future update....

Thanks. Will try again later.

I can only surmise it was due to heavy traffic this time of year. I had a similar issue the next day.
