" in 8.5 it was a gradient that made it look more metallic and that's not possible now".
 
Hey TC, is this because you haven't found the graphic for the 8.5 console background, or because you've not actually tried to customize any of Platinums' backgrounds yet?  A bit of a heads up; I have been working on some 'metallic' backgrounds for SPlat in Theme Editor.  So far tho, I've found that only a few of the customized console view background areas I've been working on are 'latching to' or being recognized after saving in TE. Don't know yet why that is unless TE itself needs more updating to accomplish it.
Best, HeyDan

I'm not talking about backgrounds, I was talking about the channel strip in the console view only having a function to change a single colour not a graphic.  But I have been using Theme Editor since it came out and have made a few themes already, there are many things Theme Editor needs updated but in this particular example it would also take an update to SPlat to read a new graphic code instead of the single colour it uses now

To hide clip headers and maximize clip waveform display
To globally hide the clip headers, click the Track view View menu, point to Display, and select Maximize Waveform Height. When this options is enabled, the waveform display spans the full height of clips.

Not sure if that was a response to my question.
(Is there a way to get rid of the horizontal border lines surrounding the clips?)
(like it is in 8.5)
 
But, I'm not talking about the headers. I'm talking about the small thin lines that separate each track.
Thanks

The lines separating each clip is an option in Sonar under the Views menu then in display, I'm unable to change the look of them in the editor since there is no selection for them, without them there's nothing separating the tracks and in 8.5 they are there just smaller and less obstructive

Try unchecking "Display Track Separators" found in the Track view menu-->View-->Display menu. That might be what you are looking for.

Holy ****! This is incredible!

 Sorry man, I did finish it, I made a thread but it quickly got lost in the shuffle of newer threads.  But here's the link

Wow, thanks! Yeah I must have missed the thread. I really appreciate you doing that.

No problem man.
 
One thing I have noticed with it though, and I think it has something to do with the theme editor, is in console view when the tracks are narrow the FX names are black, and I can't seem to find what's controlling that
