Is SPlat the only version of Sonar that allows for alternate themes?
The title says it all. I know that theme editor is only available with SPlat, but do the other versions allow for user-developed themes that others have done? Just wondering.

“Beer is proof God loves us and wants us to be happy” is attributed to Benjamin Franklin perhaps in error, but the thought remains a worthy sentiment nonetheless.

I would think themes are available to all versions. The editor is a Platinum exclusive. I looked up the 2016.05 release and all three were listed to have the tungsten theme.

Hi John. Thanks for the reply. You're probably right, but Tungsten is not a user-developed theme; it comes with the program. Remember, Tungsten doesn't reside in the SONAR Themes folder as do the user-developed themes. I'm specifically interested in user-developed themes for the other versions.

Yes, I have Sonar Artist and was able to load some user-developed themes with no problem.

Thanks for the answer; much appreciated. So, it's just the development that's keyed to SPlat. Good to know

They don't seem to be advertising this feature (which is a shame IMO...). Also, sharing information with (non-SPlat users) on how to load the Splat user-developed themes would be a good idea to me...
It takes a lot of time and talent to create a theme (even just editing a default theme...). The creators who share their work freely, should have their work enjoyed by as many Sonar users as possible.
There are other ways to reward SPlat users with exclusive content and favored pricing.
Just my opinions...
outland144k,
You do good work! Thanks for your efforts! B)

Maybe we could mark the title as SOLVED or reword it so people know.

thanks, all. was waiting on confirmation of this.
(and I assume that as goes Artist so goes Professional...)
looking forward to further developments, and trying out some themes eventually.

So, how do we (or I) mark it as "solved"? I can't find an option....

Which email would that be? B) I never received anything from Cakewalk stating non-SPlat Sonar users could load user-developed themes, created in the SPlat only Theme Editor...

Pardon my ignorance, but where does one find or how does one change themes for Sonar X3e. I've never done this, but would like to know just in case. I'm aware of color schemes and presets in X3. Is it the same, similar, completely different? Thanks.
