If you select a background colour in the inspector and then bounce the track, it still reverts to the default.

 
That's normal. Read post #35?

I didn't say it wasn't normal. I was saying the behaviour remains unchanged in the new Sonar Platinum.

I acknowledgement to the forum members, and now Sonar Members constant requests for the colour preferences to be returned to how they once were, Cakewalk have agreed to make it the very next feature to implement, following the implementation of the Notation overhaul. Which today they have now confirmed where this falls on their schedule.

Maybe you sould read your first post in this thread, before you shout at others for not reading the thread.

 
Totally get your point, and get that you are merely trying to be helpful.  Alas if you were to search for this topic you'd find about 12-15 threads exactly like this one about the colors where someone *always* comes along and says what are you guys complaining about you CAN change the background.  But it's not the same, it's not a fix for those of us that this feature really matters to, and can't understand why they would remove it when you can customize just about every color down to the color of your socks but for some reason they took this option out.  Anyway it's best just to sympathize and say "you poor things I'm so sorry you can't change your colors" and move along.

In X3e you can change the background color of clips to white, if you export the colors to a file and then insert the line
"Audio Clip Background=11904404"
Then import the file. The clip background is now white as a "standard".
Bouncing clips makes the background also white.
 
But the "new" Sonar ignores this line in the clr-file.
The trick no longer works. This is now full intention.

Having black clips everywhere kinda sux.   Before Sonar X3 you could adjust the background color of a clip, but X3 removed that.   I wish when coloring a track, it would change the BACKGROUND, not the FOREGROUND (notes).

You can change the background color of any clip. Go to the clip inspector and it's right there. :)

I've decided that there are exactly two kinds of people in the world... those that think don't understand why this isn't an adequate fix and those that want their background colors back.
 
Actually when I first read your post I laughed out loud I thought it was a very well-timed and brilliant joke... still can't tell maybe it is.

 
I admit a chuckle at my end as well...

im not sure what the issue is, it takes 2 seconds to change it in the inspector.

Have you been reading?  I've said it at least 3 times now.   If you change the clips in inspector, the minute you bounce those clips, they go back to being black clips again.   

Also, I don't want to have to do that every time I have a new track.  I would like them to be loaded automatically.
 
It was removed from Sonar X3 for some reason.  I was using Duckbar, but I hate using Duckbar because first off, its add-on software, also Cakewalk doesn't support it. If i have to submit a bug, I have to revert back.

This is TRULY amazing...  it goes to show most people don't actually read the threads  before posting.
 
I've already answered why the Inspector area is not good enough:

#1.  The minute you bounce a track, it goes back to black again.
#2.  It's not automatic, I don't want to have to do that for every track.
 
Sonar had this ability up until X3.   
 
And yes, this matters to me.  That is how I like seeing my tracks.
 
I personally find this much easier on the eye:
