Mr. Panup: Please report to the lobby.

I'm sure he can do that.
 
Another issue I see by your screen shot your multidock is tucked under the control bar.
 
Mine does that too, especially when opening pre X1 projects.
 
Graphics issue.

woah this is what i call service !!

Panup have you considered doing a daltonian mod ? this would be awasome !!

? answer to my post ?  
i'm talking daltonian people that don't see the same colors as us not donation (in case it's related to my post !;))

Custom mod for Mod Bod: http://www.sonarmods.com/.../index.php?topic=485.0

Install using Duckbar this way:
http://www.sonarmods.com/.../modbod_smart_tool.JPG
1. Download mod file
2. Run Duckbar. Open Mod Patcher (Main menu | Customize | Mod Patcher)
3. Copy mod file name (full path) to Mod source field.
4. Verify Target DLL filename. For SONAR X2 it is TTSRES100.dll.
5. Click Apply button

Let me know if there are any other critical places to enhance. I could include more items in this mod while preserving normal SONAR looks. Ask help by mail if you need install help...

Hooray Panu !

Panu, it's real subjective, but in my opinion, for clarity, nothing beats #FFFFFF on #000000.

(Black on White)

However, when you invert it, it can be too intense for many folks, and I usually go for #222222 on #eaeaea, which I find to be very readable.

What you want to avoid is colors on opposite sides of the color wheel with similar brightness values.

The worst thing about much of SONAR's UI is the lack of contrast - color values where foreground and background have similar brightness levels (mostly mid-levels).

This post probably wasn't helpful.

Keep 'em coming... Some day I design "Clarity Theme" for X2! ;-)

I got Duckbar installed and the Smart Tool Mod installed.  Looks much, much better.  Now, I need to do the entire Toolbar where the similar color text is on the dark background.


I find the same thing happening on the PC modules.  For example, the EQ - (Hybrid, Pure, E-Type, G-Type), the Compressor - (the print on the VU meter.)


Is this something I can do myself with Duckbar?

I am not a newbie here, though I rarely post.  I want to say, while it's great that Panup and others can do these mods, we really should be on CW to do them--or CW should hire Panup to do them.  These are useability issues and if there's something cosmetic like this that is clearly not a tremendous coding endeavor if Panup can produce them in hours after request, then CW should issue official patches to handle these things.  Clearly, grey on darker grey is not a good choice of color scheme and CW should handle that.
 
Rather than create a mod community, Sonar users should coordinate mail-bombing CW with necessary usability requests until they handle the situation.  How much could it cost to create an official mechanism to effect these changes that doesn't require removing them before other updates?  Why not farm the detail work out to Panup on an as-needed basis if they don't want to employ a body at the office?
 
This mod stuff is like the Android phone rooting community; messy at best.  Sonar users shouldn't have to go through this.  (Nothing at all against Panup.)
 
One man's opinion.

TimV, what Sonar Plus options do you miss?

TimV, what Sonar Plus options do you miss?

I like being able to disable MultiDock and open SV, PRV, and CV with a mouse click.

TimV, if I fail to convert SonarPlus for X2, you can use Duckbar as an alternative utility to disable MultiDock and open windows with mouse clicks. Buttons can be fully customized and toolbar size can be changed by rolling the mouse wheel over the Move grip... http://www.sonarmods.com/...12/duckbar_toolbar.JPG

Mod Bod, check this out:

New Clarity Mod Series has born. Clarity Control Bar is the first one out.

Wow, this was totally unexpected.  I love it!   IMHO the way it should be.

The contrast makes all the difference the world.  I finally don't have to lean a foot forward.

Thanks!
