I am a little suspicious  here
 
lifetime updates!!!
 
 
Doesthis mean In a couple of years sonar Platinium will change to Sonar quantum 1 and start charging all over again!!!!!


They would need to take "Sonar" out of the title if they want to get away with that:
 

What’s included in lifetime updates?

Any core features, enhancements, and fixes that we introduce for future versions of SONAR.

Hey, that has sure fixed the theme to an extent, but could you perhaps do something like this?

Please note the track highlighting based on track colours as well as the overall desaturation and gamma correction. The current oversaturated, overcontrasted theme does not help the eyes to rest at all, especially in the night when the the environment lighting is also dimmed. Compare the current Tungsten and my suggestion in Photoshop CC with its standard colours, and you'll see how yours stands out. And these guys know a little more about making it comfortable to work with images, I believe.

Helene, I love your workup!  I'd call it "soft tongue"!
 
Well done.  As the theme creator appears to be close to release, I look forward to "shareable" awesomeness from fellow humans like you.

Those colored borders in the console view look perfect! Cakewalk, take note. :)

I have to say I rather like the coloured channel borders in console idea as well. I thought I'd prefer coloured fader caps, but I think this is possibly an even more elegant solution. And I think the slightly reduced contrast is a bit easier on the eyes as well, without noticeably reducing visibility of selected elements.

Even better yet would be an overall contrast/colour sliders in Preferences like in several other software, including Studio One.
