Dawg, I'm liking that.  Could you possibly do one using a light blue?

Will this work in Bandlab?  BTW did anyone request the theme editor as a request for the Bandlab version? I remember when this came out for Sonar people were nuts about it.

We released Cakewalk Theme Editor earlier today (04/28/2018), which is a new app designed to work specifically with Cakewalk by BandLab (SONAR Theme Editor, which only works with SONAR, is still available if you need it).
 
It forms part of a larger update, which includes new versions of BandLab Assistant, Cakewalk by BandLab, and plenty of bug fixes, among other things.
 
Full release notes can be found towards the end of this post:

I do have this Aqua style one, or do you mean a different hue?
 

 
I like that one!!

It isn't important Fitzj. Just I don't recall the name. Still I am very happy we have another staff with us. 

I think you did a great job with theme editor. When I created a whole new Control bar, instead of modifying the colours, it gave me a massive appreciation for how much the application had to cover.  I learnt a few tricks along the way, and this was something I new little about when I started. I've mentioned before that I think the App is 98% there. And to have done that in the first release is impressive.  There is so much making up a theme, and to make an app that captures all those attributes is seems a mission to me.
 
I didn't know that you had developed it. I had wrongly thought it has been a 3rd party and long suspected that as that had been seen as completed, we would get n further developments. After a week creating this, and hit a few small hurdles that put me off doing another in a different stye, but I as got a bug fr it and really fancy anther go. So you have given me some optimism.
 
I always get the impression users think it just changes colurs, but it capable of much more.
 

 
 

Thanks. I wanted to try a brushed metal effect, and go for a realistic (what's that wprd again Sharke?) look. Someone else was doing an Ableton style, that was popular, but I don't know if it got finished.
 
I definitely get it why it's s hard the developer to create a GUI to keep everyone happy, but there is so much potential for users to do it. I had hoped for a separate to discuss ideas, share ides and resources. It would be great if BandLAb provided all the icons as a library. Removing button backgrounds, was a bit labourious. Being able t copy whole folders from one theme editor to another would be great too. Helping mix mix and match themes. Element by element is slow and I'm a bit clumsy.

Agree with Kami on this. I tried the theme editor when it first came out, but my lack of graphic experience made it very frustrating for me, so I gave up and waited for others to come up with something I liked and then I would edit that. But even that approach had me bogged down. 
 
And like Kami says, it's really hard to please everyone. There is no theme that I like totally. So if I could work on my own theme that would be the ideal thing.
 
Good luck Ben. Keep us informed.

Ben I'm not sure i know you. However it is very good to have you on board and welcome to the forum. 
Fantastic stuff coming our way. 

Thanks John! I've been around for a while, but haven't been particularly active on the forum lately (which might explain why my name isn't familiar to you).
 
Some background if you're interested...
 
As a long term Cakewalk user and pro software developer, I wrote a utility called SONAR Plus back in 2010, which went down pretty well on the forums. Cakewalk noticed, so I started contracting for them in 2011, and went full time the following year.
 
Since then, I worked on SONAR for the most part, until things went south last November. Fortunately, Meng was kind enough to offer me a position at BandLab, so here I am!
 
I wrote the original Theme Editor, and spent some time updating it for CbB recently - hence my posts here today. :)

I now remember who you are! You were and are a dear friend of mine on this forum. I recall you as Benstat (I know I have that wrong). A brilliant programmer and supporter of Sonar. This is outstanding to see you again and to have you working on Sonar. If I am correct we have a lot to thank you for.  I have missed you on the forum. 
Thats all I'm going to say because i don't want to be off topic. 
 
Its really good to have back. The future looks very good now.  

I had a go a while back, the colour of the text in the GUI corresponds to the colour of the text in the description.

I think you need to make the link ?dl=1 at the end; ?dl=0 means don't download and preview, and DropBox can't preview .sth files, so you get stuck (or at least I do!).

I get a bue bx marked 'Download', that is a dropdwn menu with 'Direct Download' and 'save to my dropbox'.
 
Direct download works fr me.

Me too.
 
Good stuff there Kami. That's the biggest hurdle for me, figuring out where stuff is located. I think TV stuff should be in a TV folder of some sort, but all the elements of the GUI is all over the place!!
