Does the Theme Editor work with BandLab Cakewalk?

I would assume yes - but am not certain.
Has anyone tried using it yet?

The SONAR Theme Editor is hard coded to use Platinum folders. Other than that, it works OK.

Hmm - actually, it won't install - getting an error message.
It's probably looking for Platinum - not the BandLab version.

As scook said it’s hard coded to use Platinum folders. That would imply it needs to see them for installation.

The SONAR Theme Editor was a Platinum exclusive so I would expect a Platinum install is a prerequisite.

Hmm, okay. I can install it, but I've already installed the bandlab.

I hope they re-launch it after a little attention. It's 98% there, and just need a few things added and fixed (CPU Meter colour option, Control background stays at black, Shared text colour on Control bar and track, Inspector menus ommited, etc).
 
A re-lanch and nice competition would be cool

I'm working on a Theme Editor update at the moment, amongst other things, so you might not have to wait too long!
And thanks for the report Kamikaze. No promises, but I'll see if I can fix one or more of those issues if time allows.
Stay tuned!

Thank you Ben, that's cool, I thught it wud be coming, but not so soon, and reassuring to know it is too.
 
The Synth rack backlight is stuck on Blue too, I think I seem t remember others saying, I was mre focused n the control bar when I delved in.
 
Regards the shared control panel and track view font colour, it's the 'Track View - Fcused Track Text' that affects the Snap Resolution Menu in the control bar. 
 
There is so much potential to change the look of Sonar, it should be possible for something to please everyone eye. After investing time in my Retro style (Sharke had a great word for realistic styles GUI) I would like to do anther is a different direction. Some of the lose ends can be aesthetic stumbling blocks, that hinder a creative drive.
 
Hopefully it's ready for my school summer holidays.
