A few days ago it was 81 degrees in Nashville. Last night it was 27 degrees. The shorts come out, the shorts go back. The shorts come out, the shorts go back. The shorts come out, the shorts...screw it, I'll just leave them out. It'll probably be 90 tomorrow.

In the north of England - and possibly elsewhere - we have a saying: "cast ne'er a clout til May be out". It's been sunny today, but it properly snowed a couple of inches deep less than two weeks ago.
 
Basically, in Manchester, it's either winter or summer. Spring and Autumn do happen, but they happen late and early respectively, and they last about a day.

As for UI themes, it's never been a priority feature for me, but I remember someone pointing out several years ago how useful it would be for sight-impaired users, so I've been on board ever since with the idea that it's valuable to the user base, if not directly to myself. So glad it's now coming.
 
And I do find, now it's coming, that I look forward to doing a bit of decorating. I spend all day every day in Sonar, and it could certainly do with some cushions and house-plants.

O.K. then, this thread has morphed into a weather report. My whole point here is we haven't had a fresh look since X1, which is a really, really long time. I myself prefer colors at the warm end of the spectrum and after staring at grey with blue highlights for 5 years now, I think a new look is way overdue and can't wait for some color options here.

It's my #1 gripe about the program, so I'm really looking forward to it. I really want to be able to design something that rivals or surpasses the 8.53 interface, which is still my favorite. If it will truly be customizable, then I'd only use other programs as outboard for their features and keep this as my main daw. It's my first love, but I've hated the interface since X1.
 

Would something like these interest any of you?

Still looks like

There was an official announcement here in Tokyo yesterday saying that cherry blossoms started blooming. So, it's officially spring. 
 
Having said that, I'm quite happy with the current GUI. IMO it's the most beautiful-looking DAW on the market (I especially love the Control Bar, Synth Rack, etc.)
 
Just want an easier access to the custom color palette and the color theme drop-down.
 

Hurry up already! 

I gotta say...

The quality and the looks of Sonar's interface were a deciding factor in my choosing a DAW.
Having said that, if we're going into skinning Sonar, can we make it look like this please?
