Using the new dark theme I can't see what plugins are disabled at all.



I have the same issue. At least when you hover the mouse over the effect you can see the name.


Works great here. Perhaps it is a graphic card issue or a setting in the Colors preference... I tried it on 3 different monitors (same graphics card) and all looked fine to me.
 
As far as the Track colors I really love Tungsten the way it is and will definitely not be going back. If they "fix" it I would vote they have a checkbox to turn on/off in the Colors preference like they have for Mercury (Show strips colors).

I just opened another project & this time I can read the disabled plugins. I haven't changed any settings only closed, re-opened Sonar while working on various projects tonight.  I was in Studio One for a while otherwise that's it.
It's a huge difference compared to the first screenshot I posted; know idea why though..

O.K. I think I know why.
Anytime I switch to the dark theme when the current theme is light I have to close & re-open Sonar in order to see the disabled plugins. Maybe the cell color doesn't change until this is done/ maybe a fix for the next update?

The only problem I noticed after the upgrade was I was getting audio dropouts like crazy. Just a reboot and I was ok again!

OK, I don't like that fact that I can't change the color of the entire Console channel strip and track strip as well, unless I am overlooking something.   It appears only the bottom of the Console channels can be changed.
 
Tell me I'm wrong Baker's, what didn't silly me do?
 
Oh, I just read the  documentation on this update, the removal of the track and Channel strips full colorization has been removed and replaced by the ability to only add color to the bar at the bottom of the Console channel and the edge of the track strip.  I am not in favor of this Cakewalk.. 
 

Yeah, it's a negative for me. Otherwise, I really like the new theme, but for practicality's sake, I'm sticking with the old one.
 




It will be better to introduce an option to enable or disable full colorization.

Looks nice but one thing...
Track level fader bitmap is different in tungsten than in mercury, mercury one looks more like real level fader button, tungsten one doesn't, why not use the mercury one in tungsten theme aswell?
