Q: What is the fastest way to get your requested features to a given program?
A: DIY, of course!
 
This is the 'day 1' result of my own Theme Editor. :)
 

 
EDIT:
 
On 25th Sep Theme Editor looks like this:
 

 
 
My goal is to make powerful yet easy to use batch effects for colors but also for the graphics.
 
"Add Control Bar buttons' contrast."
"Brighten text colors."
"Make all backgrounds darker."
"Open selected images in external editor."
"Drag and drop from anywhere to anywhere."
Etc...
 
I'll let you know if I can make this actually work some day.

I am amazed at the idea that you can make so much progress in a timely manner. Nicely done!

Dear Panu,
 
If you can make the fader cap of each track follow the selected colour for said track (say, if I choose green for guitars and yellow for vocals, the fader caps will magically be green and yellow respectively), I will walk around my city for six hours wearing a sandwich board proclaiming, "PANU is KING, and all's well!"
 
Preparing sandwich board as I write,

That would be cool but there is only one fader for track strips, one fader for bus strips and one fader for mains (exception is narrow strips have their own faders, one for each as stated). So this would not be possible without an entire strip overlayment of some kind. In which case everything would reflect that color. And that may not be desirable.

That would be really cool, Panu
All the best.

Great ideas, Panu!

Good luck Panu.

I imported color editing from Duckbar's existing Colors and EXE Colors modules; tweaking multiple colors at once is super easy and fast this way: it's possible to sort colors by the RGB code, group or name. Additionally all color and graphics resources can be freely grouped.
 
Examples of color editing:
- Make selected colors darker: Effect | Darken. (Or Ctrl-D)
 - Invert colors. Effect | Invert. (Or Ctrl-I)
- Change hue. Effect | Hue.
- Add saturation. Effect | Saturation.
 
I prefer sorting colors by the 'Colors' columns.
 

Hey panu
Couldn't have made it without duckbar. Glad to know you're on the themes frontier. 
Two requests as you do your research. I love the darker look, but I miss the look of bus colors in cv, can't seem to do both yet. And,  I find that the descriptors for sliders like vol, pan and gain… and other descriptors throughout the interface are darkish grey against a darker grey, difficult for me to see. Can't seem to find a way to make them globally lighter… 
 
Anyway, thanks and keep pushing the envelope. 

While I tried Duckbar and thought it was cool, I really like what you are doing with your theme editor. I presume it will save themes as Sonar theme files?
