The download zip file shows version number 2.0.03. Maybe a typo?

Hope you get better soon.

And another - Duckbar buttons in the Staff view:
 

You are a genius, sir.

Panu,
I want to tweak the color of a selected track's label box.  See red circle.  Where can I find this?

I want to tweak the color of a selected track's label box.  See red circle.  Where can I find this?

 
Found it!  In EXE colors, and I did a search for the word "focused."  Essentially..
 
Track View | Track | MIDI | Name Screen *Focused*
Track View | Track | Audio/Synth | Name Screen *Focused*
Track View | Track | Simple Instrument | Name Screen *Focused*
Track View | Track | Bus | Name Screen *Focused*
 
This is awesome!

I haven't installed the latest version yet, but wondered if this now works well in Win 8.1 x64?

Run installer in Windows 7 compatibility mode or it may not install Duckbar correctly.  There may be other issues, too, but I have not yet confirmed if reported problems are Windows 8.1 or configuration specific.
 
General system requirements:

• Windows XP SP3 or newer
• .NET 4.0 Framework Client Profile
• Administrator privileges.

 

Thanks Panu......will do so.

Floating toolbar pops up when Duckbar is running and you have open project in SONAR:

 
Configure buttons in Duckbar settings:

 
Duckbar has tons of customizing tools to tweak SONAR:

1. Mod Patcher - apply built-in or 3rd party [graphical] mods (it can tweak many other resource types, too)
2. EXE Colors - edit all SONAR colors not available in the SONAR Preferences
3. Runtime Colors [disalbed in the new version]
4. Colors - edit SONAR Preferences colors in the "Duckbar way"
5. Skylight Graphics Filter - batch edit SONAR interface graphics (adjust contrast, brightness, hue, gamma, etc.)
6. My Sky - add graphics dynamically in SONAR interface (for advanced users)
7. Extract Graphics Resources - quick way to extract SONAR interface graphics as PNG and BMP files for editing (drag and drop images over Duckbar to send them back to SONAR)
8. Resource Editor - new way to edit SONAR graphics resources and interface texts.

These features are found in Duckbar main menu | Customize:
 

 
EXE Colors:

Edit literally any interface colors - EXE Colors gives you up to 400+ new colors in addition to those found in SONAR Preferences!
 
Resource editor (beta version screen capture):

Edit any SONAR graphics with your favorite image editor. Resource editor supports bi-directional drag&drop.
 
You can also edit many SONAR preferences in Duckbar:

 
 
Of course there are many ready made mods. Here's an example how I made QuadEQ values more readable by replacing values background color with white strips:
 

 
I forgot to mention built-in Kvak programming language, Picture Cache management, Duckbar Protection (to make restore points of SONAR files), Recent project files manager, Runtime buttons in Piano roll, Staff view, Playlist view and Console view, ability to hide track view menubar and empty multidock bar to get more screen estate, full screen mode in SONAR X1, etc.

In Floating toolbar there is one interesting button: the "hat" button which opens Track President.
In Track President you can batch freeze/unfreeze selected audio tracks and soft synths. This is not possible natively in SONAR!
 
So if you want to freeze ALL your 50 audio tracks and 20 synths, just select tracks and click the Freeze button in Track President. And go make some coffee. 
 

Thanks for posting screenshots of this. I've been holding off for a while on this because I couldn't see exactly what it does. Installing now. :)

TerraSin,
Try to run Duckbar also in compatibility mode?
 
 

So it's the installer that gives the error message, not Duckbar itself.
Any chances to take a screen capture of the error message?

panupTerraSin,

Yup. Tried 2.0.5 as well just now. Same things. :(
