How do you change Folder Colors (like in 8.5)
How do I change the folder color (background at the Folder name area) like I was able to do in 8...it almost seems that most of the color changes don't to "take" in X1 when I hit "Apply".

Is it the one where you click the track->on the inspector-> click clips tab-> change background color?

you usually have to exit out and restart to get most color changes to take effect

this works for the recorded "wav" track color but I want to change the Folder color in the Track Name area (of course, like in 8.x!)

that's not an option in the preferences color customization

They should have kept that option from 8.5. Why not?

That is ridiculous. Who thought of that "improvement"?

I couldn't agree more. I wish we still had the color changing freedom that we had from previous versions plus a few more.
It would be nice to be able to color code my tracks and busses. I'm not talking about the wave forms or their backgrounds...I mean the actual tracks and busses.
all drum tracks and drum buss could be blue, bass - green, guitars - red, etc. or whatever color you wanted to make them.

if you were a betting man, that would have seemed like a sure thing. I finally have a stable Sonar and then all of this nonsense!

You can at least change the color of the *text* - and make it different for audio, MIDI, folders etc. I agree that it would be better the old way, but this is better than nothing. I find it helpful.
