Audacity's current ability is to show the track name (in yellow) or not, as set in Preferences (http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/in ... #behaviors).
The additional options described in this topic require modifying the Audacity code (programming) and then building the modified code to create a new, modified, executable.

Which feature(s) in particulate do you want?

Thank you for your reply,

I am having difficulty in viewing the yellow letters on a gray background.
I heart Mac and since quelquesjjours on OS Maverick.
I wish I could change the color of the font if possible.
It would be great.

Best regards to all the team programmers Audacity.

This example would be great ...... for Mac.

I think the problem is more about what happens when you click the button.
Edgar developed options for font and colour preferences, but the dialogues that then opened were OS dependent (provided by wxWidgets I think). The Linux colour picker would be fine in a graphics program, but imho, way over the top for what is required here.

I think that the Font selector in Label Tracks (http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/la ... .html#menu) is closer to what we want, but with:

1. • An "Apply" button so that the setting can be seen while the interface is still open, or
   • Some "preview" text against an appropriate background, or
   • Live updating of the current track names
2. A simple slider control for the colour selection.

I guess it's all planned, not available at the moment?

It's not available yet, but feel free to have your say about how you would like it to be.

Ok thank you for the answer.

It is a small user number to ask if he would be able to name each track possiblede a different color. For example :
have a text one color, music different color and a different color effects music. What do you think ? It would be feasible ?

Thank you.

Hello,
I think it would be interesting to choose the color of each title for each track.

Thank's

I (Edgar) am not one of the Developers with Team Audacity. I do not own a Mac so have no way of testing any of this code on Mac. This code originally started out as a method to allow us to recommend a usable color to the Developers – it gave us the ability to test color changes quickly and easily. It has now grown completely out of proportion to include font family, style, size and color. It would also seem that the Developers with Team Audacity have absolutely no inclination to even consider this concept – even in such simple consideration as changing the color.
