Tree Editor
The tree editor view is a hierarchical list representation of Logic Pro elements. They are named after the following logic’s nomenclature. This tree is based on previous versions of LP Colorizer (formerly called LPX Colorizer). Although we recommend using the virtual editor, you may find some elements are still missing. We continuously work on bringing more elements to the virtual editor, but in the meantime you can find those here. Eventually the tree editor may be removed once all the elements are accessible from the virtual editor and depending on user feedback. The tree view also brings a handy search feature that can filter elements based on name or color value (supports HEX or RGB).

From the element top dropdown menu pick the “select image option” and browse through the various styles available. (We may add new styles here in the future to provide more styling options).

In this window you will find all the installed plugin and be able to organize them in groups and color those plugin groups independently.
The marker option will maintain the general plugin color of your theme and add a symbol to its side (left or right). With the marker option enabled you now customize only the color of the symbol not the complete plugin insert color.
