Not all the text, but the key stuff

You just had to ask and one of the hosts might have cleaned up the last thread http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/3471865. Or do you not want others to contribute?

I didn't want host to clean up, and I've never objected to contributions. You can remove both this post and yours from here though if you like. You can always PM me

Thanks all the same. I will let the link stay so interested parties can take advantage of the contributions made in the original thread.

These colors don't work for me - the settings in Theme Editor have no effect.
The only way I can set these colors is in
Preferences -> Colors -> Track View -> Track View audio track name text etc.
 
Are you able to change these text colors in Theme Editor?

Yes, I've changed all the colours in the picture above using theme editor.

That's weird! What are your "colors" set to? Are they default SONAR color schemes?
 
Maybe when they are non default - they override what the them editor is set for. (?) These settings have been around since day 1 and I think they're still set in the registry.

UPDATE:
OK, I can verify:
- if you set your "color" scheme to a default on (ie "normal") - then the text colors of the theme work, and will override the "color" settings.
 
- if you use your own "color" preset, then the them colors have no affect. In other words the "color preset" takes precedence when it is not a default preset.
 
I guess this makes sense, as it is annoying going back and forth between two different places.
 
NOTE: I can also verify that there doesn't seem to be a separate setting for track view folder text - it uses the same color as track view buss text. This is weird and it does the same thing in "color" settings.
I always used to have different colors for these (red for folder text, maroon for buss text) until a few months ago. This is a relatively new change. 
 
EDIT: If you think about it - it's easier to set these colors up once in colors -> preferences, than to do it for each theme.
