But it took less than a half hour to get results. Then I wasted\u00a0time endlessly tweaking.<\/p>\n<p>The secret recipe came from a 2014 Cycling 74 forum post by Phiol, with assistance from Ben Bracken. Everything you need to know is explained in Phiol\u2019s first 2 posts in the thread.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cycling74.com\/forums\/topic\/custom-color-scheme-layout-setup-walkthrough\/#.V6oHMZMrIcg\">https:\/\/cycling74.com\/forums\/topic\/custom-color-scheme-layout-setup-walkthrough\/#.V6oHMZMrIcg<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I encourage you to read both posts and follow the steps precisely. There are no shortcuts. I will paraphrase Phiol&#8217;s method here:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>In a default patcher, make a bunch of objects and then in the Format Palette (object inspector) change them to whatever colors you want<\/li>\n<li>Select all the objects in the patcher<\/li>\n<li>In the Format palette, make a new style \u2013 this style will be for multiple objects<\/li>\n<li>Select the patcher to activate it in the Format palette<\/li>\n<li>In the Style menu (located in the patcher inspector window), select the style you just made, applying it to the patcher level<\/li>\n<li>Delete all of the objects in the patcher<\/li>\n<li>Save a new template (in dropdown file menu \u201ccreate template\u201d) and make it your default.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>And then the bad news:<\/p>\n<h5>Step 1. is important.<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>You must start from a blank \u201cDefault Patcher Template\u201d and choose \u201cDefault Max7\u201d<\/li>\n<li>You cannot copy\/paste objects that you had already done your custom colors. You will have to start from scratch. one by one.<\/li>\n<li>In the inspector window, make sure the \u201cAppearance style\u201d has nothing selected in it\u2019s umenu<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Then do all the steps mentioned in the previous thread.<\/p>\n<h5>The Glitch\/bug:<\/h5>\n<p>-Gradients objects do not work.<br \/>\nFor example, [message and umenu] would not keep my custom colors.<\/p>\n<p>Workaround: Once you have started a new patch, reselect your \u201ccustom_style\u201d in patch inspector window or the \u2018format\u2019 sub menu. That is, click the style that should already be selected\/checked \u2013 and now it should work.<\/p>\n<p>So yes, for now, as we start a new patch we will we have to make it a habit to always select our \u201ccustom_style\u201d in patcher inspector window or the format sub-menu.<\/p>\n<h6><b>patcher<\/b> inspector window<\/h6>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-19756\" src=\"https:\/\/reactivemusic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Screen-Shot-2016-08-09-at-5.53.30-PM-300x31.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"31\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reactivemusic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Screen-Shot-2016-08-09-at-5.53.30-PM-300x31.png 300w, https:\/\/reactivemusic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Screen-Shot-2016-08-09-at-5.53.30-PM-768x80.png 768w, https:\/\/reactivemusic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Screen-Shot-2016-08-09-at-5.53.30-PM-1024x106.png 1024w, https:\/\/reactivemusic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Screen-Shot-2016-08-09-at-5.53.30-PM.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h6>format submenu<\/h6>\n<p>(click the paintbucket icon on the top toolbar)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-19757\" src=\"https:\/\/reactivemusic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Screen-Shot-2016-08-09-at-5.54.37-PM-300x195.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reactivemusic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Screen-Shot-2016-08-09-at-5.54.37-PM-300x195.png 300w, https:\/\/reactivemusic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Screen-Shot-2016-08-09-at-5.54.37-PM-768x499.png 768w, https:\/\/reactivemusic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Screen-Shot-2016-08-09-at-5.54.37-PM-1024x666.png 1024w, https:\/\/reactivemusic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Screen-Shot-2016-08-09-at-5.54.37-PM.png 1224w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>Copy style to library<\/h5>\n<p>Also, when you open older Max6 patches and\/or the help patch and want to apply your new custom style template, make sure that in the \u201cFormat\u201d dropdown menu you have selected the \u201ccopy style to library\u201d.<\/p>\n<h5>Loading Max 6 patches<\/h5>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve done this, you will be able to apply you\u2019re custom style to older\/help patchers and resave them with your custom look.
