Have started working on a new theme. Got the inspiration from our Lively! neighbor.

I've started playing around with Theme Editor lately and it's great fun. Here's a few images of a Live-inspired theme that I've worked on. It's still crazy much left to do though before it's done.

Are there any others out there who have tried creating a whole new theme, not just making small tweaks, that want to share some thoughts and tips on workflow and such?

    ...Just take it for what it is and expect no wonders (yet).. :P Enjoy!
     
    Is there an official forum (or something) to post these user themes?
    Actually... Wouldn't it be really cool if we were able to upload and browse user themes online from within Sonar!? Like if this was a feature in the Preferences/Themes-window or something..
     
    Making the user themes easier to share and download+install maybe is all that's needed to get more people to start experimenting with this new awesome feature(?)

    If you look in the software forum, one of the stickys includes lots of utilities to use with Sonar - including themes.

    Cool beans, on your effort Loptec.
    You asked, so here's a peek at one I've been working on recently. To be sure, it still needs fleshed out, tweaked, and cleaned up. Works for anyone or not?
