I use it to make small tweaks to existing themes. I think it's extremely flexible and offers all sorts of options for users. Like all powerful software, it has a steep learning curve but full of options. If you want quick results, download a theme created by some of the users. If you want to dive in, be prepared to put in some effort!  I applaud Cakewalk for offering such flexibility. I remember reading complaints in this forum about the need to customize colors a few years back like Sonar 8.5. Well I'm my opinion, Cakewalk certainly delivered! 

Having the option is really awesome and I plan to explore but to busy with recording and mixing music at the moment!

I checked it, figured it was going time consuming to custom made one, have yet to get convinçed with the proposed themes. in the end the good old theme, tungsten i think, just feel goog AND it gives you the flexibilty to color the console strips/tracks which I really prefer.

My 2 cents

The Grim
..., and scook's pro channel module skins

Where do you get these? Are they just in the tuncury themes? Or are they seperate?
(I don't see anything on the resources page)

Elffin has not to add them to the page.
They are on my SONAR page https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vSWylK1f9f8Rw0b0J0Ob_KzK6ELgjo9YXk2QPt4TdUHSOJoFUNFkRaW73OIlgOlkCNJw4OEdSUfaUm3/pub
There is an update the CA-2A pending. the new image is uploaded
 

Scook, they're your themes of course but it would be good if we could keep all of them in one place, don't you think? Any other suggestion! Or is there a typo and perhaps you mean ""elfin is "yet" to .......""

After 2 years it's amazing how many people here don't know about the Software thread that attempts to catalog all the forumites' programs, themes and utilities.

Not at all. Way giant misunderstanding there. Am surprised you would think that. Nonetheless

You wrote "elfin has not to add them to the page." It reads to me as if you didn't want to have your themes added to the page hence my request to clarify.

I too am concerned that updates are not made in a timely manner and Elffin has given me access to his Box upload folder but of course I can't update post#1 of the thread which is what would be more beneficial. Any suggestions on that front are welcome.

Unless one is a host I suspect it's beyond the software too, unfortunately.

I'll bash heads with elffin and see what we can do to smarten things up a bit so that the Software thread is updated in a more timely manner. Thanks for comments.

I love the fact that the Sonar Theme can be modified to the persons preference, for me "YES" I use the Tungsten "Theme" that Sonar provided but I've also modified it as one example, hover over the Plug-ins bar turns to yellow, enable turns to lighter blue, gray=off. It's but one of a number of things, working with default & modified and easy on the eyes for those long sessions.

Chuckebaby: Thanks, but the Gold-theme seems to be a different one.

Since creating it, I have been using my Light Green Tuncury theme.

Late to this thread. But just wanted to add a "me too" to the above, and to add my thanks to Scook for creating this one. Actually I had a hard time choosing between his "Tuncury" and  "Light Green Tuncury" themes. Both are really excellent. Now if only Cake made it possible to have full colour strips.... I tried to go back to Mercury - but after using dark themes for so long, it almost burned my retinas.

I use the default (Tungsten?) Theme. 
I was pretty miffed that the bakers even spent time with this Theme Maker stuff.
There are SOO many features and fixes needed to catch and leapfrog the other DAW competitors.
I wish they had spent their precious resources on those instead.
 
BTW -  love your posts, Craig!

I have the patience, just not really the time. I currently just use the Mercury theme.

I appreciate the effort of people building and sharing themes with others, I've tried them all. Then I went back to Mercury and this is where I feel most comfortably.

I finally tweaked a theme I like personally... don't know where to upload for sharing... as I don't have a drop box acct or whatever..
Here's a quickie vid of the transport.  Tried (but not authentic, of course) to make it look like lights, and added the script to the buttons...
 

Always use themes.

Hello all,
 
I am currently making a Sonar theme that I call Iceberg. I found a nice iceberg picture, extracted the colors to make my own custom color palette and used this palette in the theme.
 
I've changed about 80% of the items in the theme editor (didn't change anything related to ProChannel), so almost everything is customized, not only the track panel or the console. Unfortunately, due to lacks in the theme editor, there are some things I cannot change (or don't know how to change).
 
Here's what it looks like:

 (right-click and open it in a new window or tab to enlarge it to its full size)
 
Let me know what you think.
I'm using it most of the time and find it rather smooth to the eye.
 
And here's the photograph on which the colors are based:

 
Please note that I'm using the French version of Sonar, that's why some texts are in French :-)
