SONAR does have those sliders but (I think?) they just apply to the currently selected widget color.    So +1 to an "apply to all" check-box.    If you add it to the Feature Request forum I'd vote for it.

Yes I did a Feature Request here:
http://forum.cakewalk.com/FR-Overall-ContrastColour-Sliders-m3428492.aspx
 
I think it needs to be a separate "Appearance" page in Preferences, so it´s clearly a set of overall easy to use parameters. Better would be in "Theme" page, so it would be also per theme setting, but that page seems to be already crowded.

I voted.     

 
A darker theme!
Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes, a million times Yes!
Thank You
Removal of coloured strips!
No No No No No No No Nooooooo! A billion times No!
Having coloured strips makes it so much easier moving around large projects. The only thing I didn't like about the coloured strips before was that they had to be a pale version of the colour. I've always liked the look of the coloured strips in ProTools. They're coloured, but a dark shade. That is exactly what is needed here in Tungsten. Please ASAP give us a version of Tungsten with coloured strips, but dark colours to fit in with the dark theme.
 

Yes Tungsten Rocks! It just makes it feel better, more Pro! Makes me want to be at my DAW more!
 
How about this  "Sonar Tungsten, its makes you DAW more"!     ???

You are almost there... BUT current active track highlight is gone in tungsten, or barely visible, it seems hardcoded so I cant change it in color settings, until you fix it, Im using mercury theme... Because "active track highlight" is more clear/visible there...

did I miss something, or do prochannel background and track background colors no longer match the desired track color but keep dark-greyish?

I think there is a lot of variability on this issue... would be nice to have a drop down menu to select among the following:

• Bottom of strip colored only
• Entire strip border colored
• Actual strip colored

The photoshop lady showing a "border" colored strip had lots of good ideas.  I'm sure the bakers are aware of this.  I, like you... enjoyed the entire strip being colored but as I've used the new GUI I've come to like the calmer, more consistent color with edge coloring... but I DO like the idea of being able to toggle among the three above options.
 

I was surprised by how much easier it was to work on the Tungsten theme.  Good job bakers! and I'm not a fan of dark themes!  My favorite was S8.5!
 
Interesting though, I went to the color menu under "Preferences" and there were four options.  Bright, Dark, Mono and Normal.  I selected the brighter option and my timelines disappeared, both in the track view and the midi editor (along with some other stuff)!  Are these two options not meant to work together?
 
There didn't appear to be a way to undo what I had done so I edited the colors where I could to make the timelines visible again.  It sure would be great if they were easier to see though.
 
+1 on Helene's idea!

100% for the look!
BUT: Is there any way to get the menu bar darker? If I am in full screen mode, it is such a nice UI, the light grey is a little bit "off topic"...
