I started using Reaper in March 2019, on version 5.972. Since then, I've been through many skins, my favorites have been b0se's Smooth 6, Mordi's FL Studio Theme, albertxxxx's Pro X-TOOLS Gold ED. V3 and Blankfiles's iLogic just to cite a few. With reARK I wanted to have something that mixed many of the great ideas from previous skins designers while having full compatibility with Reaper Default 6.0 since I didn't want to mess around with WALTER and I wanted it to be future-proof for Reaper's updates.

Colored Faders

You can use the colored faders for the Mixer by right-clicking on a Track and selecting a Track Layout for the Mixer Panel. The recommended workflow is to use the SWS Extension "Autocolor/Icon/Layout" to assign the colored fader layout automatically to important tracks and folders.
TCP FX / Sends


Added this feature to have FX on Left or Right side of the TCP (if "Show FX inserts on TCP" is enabled) instead of below it.
Piano Roll / Table / TCP / Media Items
