A couple of questions I cannot find in help or the VP16 manual.
1. Is there an option to change a selected event's boarder color? I sort of recall changing it, but I see no settings for it in 'Preferences> Display' or elsewhere.
2. Does the indicator at the top/middle of an event have any function besides indicating the event is selected?
Thanks, Rick

AFAIK there's no way to change the event border color, I asked that same question here before. But you can thicken the border by holding the shift key and open preferences, thus getting to the internal preferences menu. Look for "border" and change the thickness from 1 to 2 or more.
The indicator you show is a handle for the alpha value on video events, or the volume on audio events. You can just pull it down.
There is an internal preference called "TrackView - Event selection color". The default is FFE4. I just set it to FF0000, which should be red, but it turned blue! So you might need to experiment with it. Hold SHIFT while clicking "Preferences" to access the Internal Preferences tab.
I guess the widget in the middle of the event is to signify that there is an envelope there that can be pulled down, although obviously it can be pulled down from anywhere along the event. The color change for me occurs when the cursor is over the event, rather than the event being selected.
Thanks, I'll play around with it. I am familiar VP's 'internal preference' settings and HTML color code.
BTW Nick, You are doing a fantastic job moderating this forum.. if I do one-quarter as well as you, over at the Sound Forge forum, I will be being doing a good job. Kudos and thanks.

FYI, this is not an HTML color code. The stored values here are 3 the three color values combined into a single integer which are extracted as bytes with bit shifting in C++. As a result, for simplicity, the number will be BBGGRR.
