Adding Color to Icons in X1

Hello, 
Can someone tell me how to add color to track icons in X1?  I know how to get to the color changing dialog page, but I don't see anything about icons.  Also in past posts on the forum, users would sometimes give customized color setups that you could download that would automatically customize the colors in Sonar.  Are there any out there available now.
Thanks,

    Track Icons?  You mean the pictures of the instruments like keyboard, guitar, bass .... that's what the track icons are? To my understanding, and I use track icons all the time, they are in color and you can't change the colors .... basically as I understand it, they are bitmapped pictures. You can't change the colors in them.

    You can however, change the colors in the tracks. Is that what you mean?  Also, depending on what mode you have the track in at a given time, those colors will change to a darker color. (Clip or automation mode)



    Here: http://www.cakewalk.com/P...sic-in-Music-Creator-6  is a picture (beside the PROJECT TEMPLATE ) of the track icons close up.

    I think the OP is talking about the widgets (buttons and such) in X1.  The only way to get buttons and the like is to hack the supporting graphic files.  Something I know little to nothing about.

    Sorry for being unclear guys.  I meant adding color to the two icons for audio and MIDI.  I now see that there are lots of icons to choose from.
    Thanks

    I actually tried to add an icon.... found a picture .... converted it to a bit map file....reduced the size, and put in in the correct folder in Cake... but it still won't show up when I click to add it. 



    Dang computers.....
