I done the rollback and I do not have a theme option under/ Edit/ preference / customization.


go to help / about, what version does it say you are running
(and which version of sonar do you have ?) this for platinum.
 
Myronn, you should fill in your signature, it would help with asking/looking for help

To update, from my side... 
 
I got a proposed fix in a PM from Bill Jackson, which I ran and it worked, the menus now display properly. I also sent back a results file from the process, so they have that too. I don't know if Bill also contacted the others with the problem in this thread, but not only are they aware of it, they know what the issue is and have a fix. Maybe this will ship with the official release, maybe not, I obviously can't say, but just to let people know, there is a real issue that affects some systems, and it's being fixed. I guess that's how this early access system is supposed to work! Yay!

Is this theme for platinum only? About to get Sonar Professional after being at Pro Tools for some years.

Since it's the only major new feature for this release, and the Skylight GUI is common to all versions, I would think Themes must be available in all flavors.

Those of you having trouble viewing the new theme, try changing your screen settings.  You may find the theme works fine at a different setting which indicates an issue with the way the theme is interacting with your graphics driver.

Really you all? Really? You would mess up a beautiful, wonderful, gorgeous theme just so you wouldn't have to look like three inches from the fader to the bottom of the mixer? OMG! :)
 
This year I've had my problems with Sonar (unlike last year). Heck, the new plug-ins don't even work on my system because of a graphics problem. Now that's a REAL problem and I expressed my disappointment. But I can't complain a bit about this new theme especially when the old one is still available if I didn't like this one.
 
We can name a channel, add a color AND a big a** icon of the exact instrument we're working with. I see no reason to complain about this new theme aside from the ones who can't see the text properly. The idea of having the color on the volume wouldn't hurt the theme and would look cool I guess but I'd rather CW concentrate on getting (MY) demands met! Just kidding!
 
Seriously though, I give credit where its due. The last update for me was an "F"! This is an "A"! And think about it, even with the whole channel "blue" for drums, are you working on the snare or the kick or toms...? I still have to look down. Just having some fun with you guys and gals! Peace :)

I really like the theme. However I've noticed one 'glitch' which appears to be related to a graphic bug? When a track is playing and I move the track slider to see a different section of  the track, the image of the track distorts, jumps around etc, making the viewing of that section of the track unreadable. Music is not affected by this. If the track is stopped, moving the slider to a different section of the track is fine. This graphic distortion only occurs when the track is playing. This did not happen with the original theme. Not a deal-breaker though, but I was wondering if any other users of this theme experience this 'bug'?

I've seen some write here that it's for platinum users only, but I can't find any info on it from Cakewalk. Would appriaciate some official word on it before I pull the trigger on Sonar Professional.
