I recently have returned to give Sonar Platinum another  shot. So far there are things I am enjoying. I do have some questions but lets start with a couple obvious ones that I must be missing. I have searched the documentation and youtube but so far nothing on this.

1. How do I change the background color of the track view where tracks exist but NO regions or clips do yet.
2. How do I have a tracks regions/clips background color match the current tracks setup color?
 
Thanks.

The best way is to use Sonar 8.5.
Other ways involve hours of research and tweaking.
 
research "theme editor" here.
