This ain't my first dance at this rodeo.
 
I'll wait until some people post there themes and give it whirl. 
 
I'll let you all know and lurk on the forum for answers.
 
::thumbs up::

Some themes have been posted in the software forum (As theme editor is a separate piece of software), in the stickie at the top. There's not a light version yet. But should let you find out if they are compatible with Professional

If the version you have does not have a "themes" option under preferences I think you are out of luck. If it does, you should try and D/L one of the users modified themes and see for yourself.

Out of interest, do you get both Mercury and Tungsten listed under Preferences? Or is it just Tungsten for other levels?

Go to preferences , themes , and change to tungsten .done .

haha. Thanks dude whose first post is to tell me the most obvious solution to my problem and get it wrong.
 
@Kamikazi I have both of the themes. And I'm sticking w/ Mercury as I don't dig the Great Pumpkin vibe of Tungsten.
 
I see that Anderton is working on some lighter stuff, so I'm about to see if I can install that one w/ the lighter toolbar.
 
Let's see...

So, Okay...

and looking at my own setup...
 
I'm going to spitball & say that if one is running Sonar Profession, Artist -- we are stuck w/ the 2 standard themes.
 
Since I have no edit button there's no way to open and install themes. There's a /SONAR Themes/ folder in my /Cakewalk Content/ folder. but alas copying Craig's "Mercury with White Control Bar.sth" does nothing.
 
Sad trombone.
 
Ah well. That's too bad. I was hoping to get a new silver white, or pale white theme to use.
 
I'll put in a feature request. I'll check in here after the updates. Thanks for the good faith replies y'all.

Did you read what I wrote?

Yes but I did tire out somewhere in the middle.

 

Apologies puffer, but I just couldn't let scooks perfectly measured response to a brusque reply go unappreciated. 

did rather nail it, right?
 
Points.

Noel has confirmed that another theme is in the pipeline. And that it's going to be a light theme. He' has said it's not going to be soon though.

I don't have Professional or Artist, but if you can use other themes, and if it works the same way as Platinum, since you copied the "Mercury with White Control Bar" into the SONAR Themes folder, check if the theme appears in the Theme: drop-down menu. You don't need the Edit button to open Themes, it's for opening Themes directly within the Theme Editor, which is Platinum only.
 

I think TE should have been a stand-alone add-on purchase for all 3 Sonars.

As a work around I think you can rename the new theme as one of the default themes and "fool" Sonar into using it. Be sure to hide the original default themes in another folder 1st.

I don;t know where the default themes are kept, or of they are available. But the edit themes are kept
C:\Cakewalk Content\SONAR Themes
