And similarly, I have started another theme called Magma:

 
based on this:

 
It's much more contrasted and aggressive, but I liked the idea...
About 50% finished.

Like many myopic people, it's not easy for me to see in the dark. That's why Tunsgten is just unusable for me (although it's a beautiful theme). The solution could be the color strips, but Cakewalk don't want this feature anymore (thank you for the downgrade)... Among all the great features of the recent years, the color strips were certainly the one which helped me most to be productive...
 
So I'm back to Mercury. Not looking very modern but efficient, clear and including practical color strips. That must be what Cakewalk calls innovation.

The color strips were difficult to implement in the Theme Editor for some reason, hence the reason they're not in Tungsten. I too hope that colored tracks can be restored for custom themes.

I personally find the way strips are colored in Tungsten (along the bottom in CV) to be great and ready to use. I like that it retains the overall darkness. I don't find it hard at all to find which track I'm looking for.

Sorry to insist, but any opinions on my Iceberg theme? This is my first theme, so... I'm anxious to know 
 
The Magma theme is just work in progress and was more fun to make than it is actually usable, but you may comment on it too if you'd like.

Tx for all the improvements!

Cool!

@Joe_A
Are you replying to me?
I haven't made the Iceberg theme available yet, I'm just showing to you guys to get your opinion...
 
Oh, OK, you were talking about the Magma theme... Just seen your reply!
Thanks! I'll try to finish it within a reasonable frame of time...

I in no way want to discourage you, but personally I'm not really into blue.
