strategic guess: UI changes tomorrow??!!!
when i get a feeling, i get a feeling...
cakewalk has delayed this months update to patch in the gui updates. Yes, noel said they would be down the road but andrew intimated they were right around the corner...
the help menu was not considered sufficient... GUI updates tomorrow (speculation)

I don't think so. To my knowledge, Cakewalk has never released a UI overhaul for Sonar Platinum on a Tuesday.

That would be just grand, but my own pure speculation is that they have delayed the official release until the end of the month so that next month when they introduce the early release, it will happen the week before, with the official release again at the end of the month.

My speculation is that I definitely have no idea. But I'm pretty much ready to take it out for a spin the moment it drops, whatever it is and whenever it appears. Despite being in the middle of a fairly mission-critical production. I know perfectly well how foolish that is, but I've said it before, I'll say it again: No risk, no fun...

I am betting there will be some change to the UI in the March update. It might be a new menu pick, or new skins, but Sonar's UI will change somehow.

In another thread some Baker mentioned it's released near summer.
Probably no new GUI in the March update.

Looks like I'm still here.
I'm confused. Where do they say new GUI?
What I'm seeing is they are going to be skinning the GUI (what they call themes).
The only GUI change I'm seeing that is advertised is the add track menu, this appears to be more of an addition rather than a change.

Shirly not.

hmmm... looks like I was dreadfully wrong. I don't understand this at all, I'm so confused. Maybe Noel knows more about Cakewalk than me

GUI = Graphical User Interface. Themes, graphics, functionality, and how the user accesses functions are subsets of the GUI. In this example, the graphics are new however user interface functionality changes frequently - the Help module, tempo detection, start screen, patch points, add track, etc.

OK let me expand... Actually the skin (or theme in Cakewalk/MS terminology) is an abstract layer applied on top, or within, a GUI. When done correctly this allows designers and artists to concentrate on the graphical look and feel, whilst the developer can concentrate on the underlying logic, neither getting in each others way. It may even allow for people like me to design custom skins (or themes) with reasonable ease without getting into too much programmatic logic. Can we make our own skins? Are you saying the existing layout is going to change? We already know new functionality is going to be bolted on top (the Help module, tempo detection, start screen, patch points, add track, etc.) but that's actually an addition to be more specific. We can also assume the GUI will have to be programmatically changed somewhat to accommodate for the skin. In effect, we could have skins (themes) that could end up being touch friendly for tablet scenarios. Or it might just be we can't do this, rather we can only change the look and feel, but not the actual GUI itself, in effect it's exactly the same layout just looks different (much like Windows themes). In summary - just how flexible is the skinning? Or maybe we just wait and see.

I have no idea, maybe someone from Cakewalk will answer.
