No need to recompile.
Just replace fader_belt.png and fader_belt_h.png in:
/usr/local/share/ardour2/icons/fader_belt.png
and
/usr/local/share/ardour2/icons/fader_belt_h.png

Hi,
maybe do a page with alternative Ardour designs? May be interesting for some people, although personally I like the current design very much and think the fader design is better than your ordinary one (we had this discussion somewhere around here).

how about a hybrid of sorts:

(the little knobs are from my late-70s Auditronics mixer)
[edit: for those who haven’t seen one, and are wondering why i would make a round fader head:

I love these faders by the way, they feel great]
I like cbreeze34’s knob-on-a-ribbon idea. Here’s another variant, with a narrower ribbon:

And the source (intended for the dark theme. Won’t look right with the light theme):

Buccia: I’m not 100% sure, but I think that if you want your fader compatible with other themes, you need to insert a transparent layer in the png, instead of the gray background.
[see my 2 source imgs above].
About the thread: buccia’s design is very good-looking, and it makes both ribbon and “true” fader co-exist, but maybe using only the mouse the ribbon is too much narrow, I dont know..
My goal was only to make an alternative fader design for people using mainly control surfaces in mix..
