EnlargeTrackTitle7

The procedure is this:

1. Go into Reaper resources folder.
2. Unpack the default theme.
3. Edit rtconfig.txt.
4. Find the line with

   define_parameter LayoutA-tcpLabelLength 'Layout A - TCP Label Length' 100 40 300

   and change the first 100 to something like 300 so that it now reads

   define_parameter LayoutA-tcpLabelLength 'Layout A - TCP Label Length' 300 40 300

5. Zip it all (with 0% compression) to make a new .ReaperThemeZip file.

See ../jda7.ReaperThemeZip for the default 7 theme with this change made.

Updater script

This takes the 7 default theme and makes the above modification, producing a new .ReaperThemeZip. Usage

./setTrackTitleWidth.py Default_7.0.ReaperThemeZip out.ReaperThemeZip 200

to set the width to 200.

The script

#!/usr/bin/env python
