=46or the matrix-mixer in ffado-mixer (only in some devices present) I used:

high (max) =3D red

mid (0dB) =3D yellow

low (lowest above mute) =3D blue

mute =3D black
I also thought about making it dependent of the color-scheme. Like backgrou=

nd=20

for mute and from there on to the highlight-background for max. But there y=

ou=20

don't get as many colors. Which is nice from a designers pov but to=20

distinguish the values better, two or three different colors should be used=

=20

imho.
Have fun,
Arnold
