GUI update suggestion

I would like to request a minor change to the meters color related to midi tracks. Maybe an assignable meter color for midi tracks in both the track view and console view. I don't know about the rest but I find myself always looking out for at maxed out meters flashing when scrolling through the console view of track view due to tracking midi info. Minor I know but the maxed green meter seems to break my concentration.

Same here. 
 
What I originally did was turn off the segmented meters, and choose a color scheme with the Theme Editor. It still goes to the top, but it flashes white. I have the audio meters to show red, so it sticks and lets me know.
 
Now I use the Blue Aston theme, and I like the default color of the non-segmented meters. Midi flashes white at the top, and audio peaks at red. The red really stands out against the blue.

When using a theme other than Mercury consider changing the meters to whatever is pleasing with the theme editor. Unfortunately for those stuck on Mercury there is no user-based solution.

I'll look deeper into Sonar Pro to see if there's anything editable for meters. So far I haven't found anything.

Sorry, the theme editor is not included with Professional (missed that in your sig). It is bundled with Platinum.

I always hide Midi tracks in Console View, to my way of working it makes no sense to see them there
