I also prefer the dark Piano Roll and so I totally agree with the OP. Having a dark theme is easier on your eyes.

Total support for the dark PRV. What I've wanted for a long time, so it's much appreciated.

Harumph. I liked the white background. The stark contrast helped my waning eyesight. I've switched to the mercury theme to get the old PRV back.

If you prefer tungsten. Copy and rename the tungsten in Splat, then copy the file to the CbB thenes folder and select it. I'm told this works...

you could try copying the new tungsten into the old user theme folder (make sure to change the extension to .sth), open it in the old theme editor and import the changes from "Mercsten" or "Tuncury", save and copy the new theme to the new user theme folder.

That's way too much effort. There will be loads of differences (besides the PRV background) between the stock tungsten and mercsten/tuncury
 
 

Need to wait for the new theme editor

I think I'll just do this. ;)
 
So, when we click "edit" in preferences - by where we choose themes, that opens the "old" theme editor?

Looks that way to me. The header reads SONAR Theme Editor and it defaults to the wrong user theme folder. To use it now instead of copying Tungsten it requires placing a copy of the CbB resources files into Platinum (I got it backwards yesterday). Save the Platinum ones if planning to run Platinum in the future. After that it may not be as bad as I first thought, is should be possible to move the changes from Tungsten to the old user theme. IOW, it should act like the new editor except for the default user folder.

I do like the dark PRV!  So much easier on my old peepers.  

I am actually surprised at how many people are complaining about it.  

Hi Steve,
 

is should be possible to move the changes from Tungsten to the old user theme.

But, we have to find out where the PRV background setting is. It's not in the "piano roll view" section.
It should be a simple setting, that is white, and we change it to grey...
