much better with track highlight. I would suggest you also use the same pale-orange track highlight color in the multi-dock, to keep things consistent (instead of the pale-blue).

I'm not seeing any pale blue in the multi-dock, but I think that highlighting the active tab is not a bad idea.

What I meant was if that if I have a tab in the multi-dock and multiple instruments loaded in the PRV, the active instrument is highlighted with a pale-blue. For an example, look at "letter H" on this link: https://www.cakewalk.com/...lp=EditingMIDI.03.html I would like to see some indication as to what tab in the multidock is selected, as that's pretty subtle, maybe by using the pale-orange for font color.

Big improvement visually, although subtle. The contrast between selected clip backgrounds and the MIDI data are now perfectly readable and clear again. Thanks.
I'm starting to really like the new Tungsten theme. And the floating track names and colors in console view is also a nice improvement. Can't wait for noon today--big announcement.

The reason why Cakewalk has been able to stay in business is because they've been doing exactly that technique for the past 29 years. They get away with it because installing an update erases the user's memory of past events; since they don't remember that they paid for a "lifetime update," they fall for it all over again. But they haven't fooled you!

When I first changed the theme to Tungsten I changed it back after five minutes. Used Tungsten last night for my current project and loved it. Funny how those subtle changes can make a big difference.

Thank you, thank you Bakers!! I think I'm really going to like this new theme (ever though orange is not a favorite color of mine!! lol). As always, it'll take a bit of getting used to, but everything seems to be a bit clearer to my eyes.
What's the chance of getting the detail back on the faders in Console View? ie, the lines across the fader. You had them perfect in Mercury. Makes it look more real to me.
