Title: 2nd Row Highlight Spacing not working
Post by: mado on October 31, 2023, 16:34:34

Hi all.

I tried to configure the row highlighting for each beat and another color for every four beats.

For the color setting "pattern:1st row bg"  everything works well: The line highlights up in the given colour and the line number on the left appears in the opposite color.

But for "pattern:2nd row bg" just the line number on the left changes color (like the choosen bg color) and the color of the line does not change at all.

I run Milkytracker on Manjaro Linux. Is this a bug or did I get the configuration settings wrong in some way?

I struggled with the two pattern highlight options too.
What I found out to be working:

• Set row highlight spacing 1st to 16 (and Full)
• Set row highlight spacing 2nd to 4 (and Full)

If you also set the corresponding bg colours:

• 60/60/60 for the 1st row ("Pattern: 1st row bg")
• 30/30/30 for the 2nd row ("Pattern: 2nd row bg")

you will get a nice pattern: Every 16th row has a light grey bg, every 4th row has a dark grey bg.

If you want the row# column to be a bit more colorful you can play with the "Pattern: 2nd highlight text" setting (setting it to FF/00/00 for example).
