I'm all for customization options, but personally I hate it when programs significantly change their looks between versions.

I personally like the the look of current sonar iv always like dark greys and blacks and basically shades of blues tho. Just my opinion :) In the options i believe there was a way to you could customize your tracks and tools bars to difference colors. Any next to your track layers there is obviously the default like 12 colors, but theres an option "other" to bring up a color spectrum and u can make your own colors for ur track layers and audio clips basically if you need more variety.

I would personally like to see better contrast in the control bar lettering, at least.  Please make all the letters white if nothing else, CW.

 
Bakers, give us an option to achieve this :) Please.

I'm all for some more customization but please don't change the default for the sake of it. I've never been much for colour change other than maybe some of the highlighting colours.

With FBB on this one. Sonar looks pretty good just like it is. A few changes to make it easier to see a bypassed efx and more vibrant clip color choices would be well received here. Otherwise, it looks like Sonar should look to me.

Sonar looks very much like FL studio mobile interface wise , or maybe the other way around... ( just google fl studio mobile iphone ) I personally like the light yellow/orange for on/active button states instead of the standard light blue everyone is using...

WOW - this looks amazing!  Is this all with Duckbar?   How did you get color to the clip backgrounds instead of that black?  

IIRC the last SONAR survey didn't include color customization in the response options for the "What improvements do you want to see?" question, so I guess the current look will last for a while.
 
I personally love the X1-2015 look, except for the colors of the FX Racks introduced this year. Sadly, these colors are also unlikely to change for a while, as we haven't seen the plan appear in the Up Next section even months after many users (47 so far) supported the request for it:

It seems to me that the text in the CB became a little brighter in SONAR 2015. I no longer have X3 and prior versions installed on my system, so I can't compare. But it would be nice if we could customize the color.
 

Yeah the control bar is pretty ugly...I always liked a certain competitors control bar better this one is a mess...I use it quickly then try to get away from it.
 
But again that is nit picking but it is ugly.
