You mean like a list of which options in the list work and which ones on the list that do not work?
 
A list of a list?
 
Good idea! That would have saved me time when I was figuring out I was going to uninstall SONAR X1 and go back to SONAR 8.5.

Nope. The small icons aren't changeable. How sad.
Wish the track name text/background colors were changeable per track. Maybe in X3...

You can have the small icons follow the large icons, which is what I do. It is a global setting and can be changed in View | Icons menu, IIRC.

Yup!
 
View->Icons->Track View->Show Custom In Header (tick this)
 
Voilá:
 

 
You can design your own, so you could have purple with green spots if you so desired :-)

The icons are 96x96 pixel bitmaps I believe.
 
[edit]: just tried the above, the purple doesn't show up for some reason, just the green spots ;-)  Maybe it has to be a solid colour.  Probably a transparency thing thinking about it, Sonar might assume one of the colours should be used like this as gradients work OK.

wow...thanks Seth and ston!!
 
Now my track strips look like this. Great!

 
But...I think I also want brown, pink, gray, etc. (in the shaded style). Is it possible?

Does cakewalk not provide a list if which elements' colours are still customisable, or is it a case of try them and see? If there's some doc could someone link it? Thx

Check the 8th post in this thread:

thanks for panup's list, should be in the documentation!

I've roughed a few up in paint.net:

These are a bit more pastel shaded than the default ones, let me know if you'd like some darker ones or different colours.

Ohh! Thanks ston!! Much appreciated!!!
 
So, this time I used my project template and applied colors including the ones you kindly created and provided.
And it looks like this:

 
Very good....but I think I need a better red. As you can see, I gave two red colors to guitar tracks. The first two guitar tracks have the red you provided, which IMO is a bit too bright, and the remaining guitar tracks have the default Red 2, which is a bit too dark. So I'd appreciated it if you could create a not-too-bright/dark version red (only if you have time, of course). I don't know what other colors I need but maybe dark brown and light brown? (beige?)
I have to go to bed now so I'll check this thread again tomorrow.
 
Anyway, because of this thread and your great help, Sonar has become an even greater daw for me.
 
Thanks again

Huh, I like the way that looks.    I'm never been a big PT fan but have always liked the way the color coded tracks look.   A lot.   But this just might be a decent alternative...  
 

OK, some updated icons in the zip file now, including a few with effects added to see if you like them.
 
Note: red is a bit tricky because current monitor design trends favour blues and greens, it's hard to get a good tomato or blood red so I've made quite a few more reds.
 
Here's a screenshot of the current set:
 

 
(That jpeg's a bit blurrier than I thought it would be!?  [edit] Photobucket has shrunk it in the direct link for some reason.)

Thanks a lot ston!
The colors look more obvious now (yet more stylish than the default solid colors).

 
The colors used in the image are:
 
Black 2
Red 4
Purple 3
Green 2
Light Grey
Orange 2 (default)
Brown 2
Royal Blue


Maybe the default orange needs to be a little bit brighter to be distinguished from brown 2. Other than that, they all look great. Perhaps you can go further and create more colors so that other users can find their favorite colors, but I'm already happy with the ones you created. 
 
Thank you very much again!
