What graphics card are you using? I have Sonar installed on 2 systems, a desktop and a laptop, and they behave the same way - no blue just 2 very slightly different shades of gray depending on if the FX is enabled or not. Both have ATI/AMD chipsets.

Well, at least now I know I am not the only one that doesn't get the blue highlighted FX button when the FX window is open and focused in Track or Console view.  It wasn't a big deal, so I never reported it or contacted Cakewalk support.
 
When I installed the 32 and 64 bit versions of Platinum "Braintree" earlier this year, I could have sworn that the 32-bit version did highlight blue and the 64-bit version did not (maybe bad recall).  Now in "Ipswich", both 32 and 64 bit versions do not highlight.

Interesting - thanks

It seems that Bakers developed reasonable system of "two shade of grey/two shades of blue" as Craig presented at the top of this thread but it is avaiable to only few of us. The rest like me has only two greys. Now It needs to be checked why is that happening, graphic cards perhaps?

This explains why some people say "I dunno, looks okay to me" and others say "I can't tell the difference." Very, very weird IMHO.
 
It also raises the philosophical question of how do you know something is wrong if you don't know it actually is wrong.

Doesn't reflect having four states...then again, if you don't know there are supposed to be four states...
 
OTOH I couldn't live with that. It would be a constant reminder that I could be eating mint chocolate chip ice cream 

A bleary eyed pop in just to say I'll try to check out the Blue "selected" thing on my system tomorrow. I was not aware of it before this thread so I may have just not noticed. That WOULD be odd considering all the Rack stuff I've done but I am a bit of a derp herder at times.
