How to change track colors in editor?

In this article you will learn how to change the colors assigned to the tracks in the editor.

Please note that this change affects only Karedi editor. It will not affect the way song is displayed in Ultrastar in any way.

Default colors

The default track colors correspond to the default track colors that players have in Ultrastar game - first player has blue track, second red etc.

The default colors are:

Player number	Note color	Font color
1	blue	white
2	red	white
3	green	white
4	yellow	black
5	pink	white
6	orange	black
7+	brown	white

What track color affects?

The track color determines the color in which notes are displayed in main editor and the color in which lines are displayed in song fillbar. Each track has 2 colors assigned - the color of the notes and the color of the lyrics on the notes.

Changing the color

Colors are defined globally for a given track number - not per song

To change the track color use track manager - click on the color picker in "Color" column for the track you want to edit. You will see a window that lets you fully customize the color:

To change the font color do the same steps but in "Font" column.

As a result you have customized the colors for the chosen track:

You can always undo and redo such changes in History panel.

Reseting colors

As mentioned above, colors are changed globally for a given track number. Meaning that if you change the colors for first track then even if you load a different song or restart the app, you will still see the colors you have chosen.

This lets you override the defaults with your favorite color combinations to maximize the comfort of your work.

If you change your mind and want to go back to the default settings, you can always reset the colors' for the selected track in the menu Edit -> Reset track's color.

Resetting colors affects only the active track. If you want to reset colors for multiple tracks you need to reset them one by one.
