Every time I think 'cooler GUI' I recall PA9 and I'm suddenly over it.  :)

I don't know why more people don't download Panup's Duckbar (SonarMods dot com) which makes Sonar skin able in a way. The more support he has the better a product he can make for us to use.

Never heard of it until you posted! I’ll check it out. Thanks.
 
 

Duckbar does not officially support the new SONAR at the moment. It can be used for some things but the EXE Colors feature is broken. Using this feature causes SONAR to go into demo mode.

Seems like a Reaper forum question to me.

Wow, that does look great and really emphasises the plain awfulness of the X-series console view.  Bakers please, please take note.  TIA.

Wow. Love those Reaper console mods. I do wish Sonar had built-in support for skinning. It's kind of like racing stripes that make the car go faster. A pretty console might make my mix sound better. :-)
 
But seriously, I would like to be able to easily customize the UI more to my taste.

To me Reaper cries out for a skin. Sonar on the other hand doesn't.

I've used both and prefer Sonar's aesthetic look. It's professional looking and easy on the eyes. I would like a few more options for customization of Sonar's track coloring, but complete re-skinning is not one of them. My primary gripe with Sonar's track colors is the washed out look vs. stark deep coloring options. I think Pro-tools has a better take on track coloring imo.

I like SONAR's look as well.  However, some of those R consoles do have a really slick appearance.   They did give me an idea though, for something along the same lines but consistent with what SONAR already gives us - console view display options that match the PC Console Emulators.

I can't copy multiple quotes as I'm on an iPad so.

Earwax: see post #9

I love some different colouring in the Sonar GUI as available in Duckbar and like the rounded faders that I've been using for years. I don't need different skins.

Panup usually takes a little while to get a new version of Duckbar up and running after there's a major Sonar release. This is even more difficult now as Cakewalk has presented a moving target with a new executable released every month and significant changes in the bit maps which make up the graphic elements of Sonar. The fact that no stable versions of Duckbar are available any versions currently available are to be considered beta releases.
