Thanks alree and Billy. Very nice job. I might use this as my default too.

A special thanks goes out to alree who created the original theme More Pro Than Tools a few months back. I just personalized it a little bit for my own tastes (changed the colors for meters, loop region markers, Track View Now Time display, etc.) and I am not running the flyakiteosx mac skin, but essentially it is the MPTT color scheme. Since SONAR 8 did not come with any new theming capabilities or color schemes, I decided to adopt this one as my official S8 color theme.

Just right mouse click and Save Target As on the link.

Hi:
Are all these color schemes cmpatible with Sonar 8 or we need wait for new color scheme archieves for it?
Greetings.

Yes, they should all be compatible with S8.

I'm not sure if this thread is monitored anymore, but when I download one of the color schemes, it is in the form of an .mhtml not a .clr file. Once I download the file, should I just change the file extension to .clr and then import it?

Thanks,

You should be able to do that, yes. Give it a try.

I cannot see what you are doing but perhaps this might help.

When you right click on it use the save target as. If you get an mhtml file then do not right click. Click on the link it is to a page then when you get to that page you can right click and save target as.

Once I click on the link of my choice, I get what looks like a page of the text commands. I go to File> Save As and then the Save Webpage diolog box opens and the fields are the usual File name, Save as type, and Encoding.

Obviously there is no issue with the file name, the Save as type choices are Webpage, complete (*.htm,*.html), Web Archive, single file (*.mht), Webpage, HTML only (*.htm,*.html) and Text File (*.txt).

I presume I save it as a text file. Is that right?

Thanks again,

sd

Would it be ok for me to host your schemes at http://sonartemplates.googlepages.com ?

Many thanks

What caught my eye more than your color scheme is the track icons in your Console View. Most of these, I have not seen "in the wild". Can you share those, or share where you got them?

@ dantarbill: if you double click the respective track icon you should be able to access the icons from the original installation (same as danny did)

Allow me to amend my original statement from "Most" to "Some". There are a couple of solid body electric icons that don't appear to be in SONAR's original distribution, as well as the A7 and NS10 studio monitor icons. Are those in the SONAR 8 load and I somehow missed them?

Dan,

2 of those were my own pics of my own guitars and the speakers are the speakers I use. If you look at the dimensions used on the Sonar stock icons, you can take pics of your stuff and make it work. You then just import your photos into the Sonar directory and you can have any icon you want.

Like for example, tracks 38-42 are a blonde Carvin DC 400 custom guitar which is really this pic shrunk down:



Track 2 and 3 busses are pics of my A7's and NS-10's that I took pics of, and bus 6 is another Carvin Dc 400 custom shot shrunk down:



So just look at the stock icon dimensions and shrink your photo to match and you can have your own custom icons. I have pics of all the instruments I use this way it helps me keep track of what I'm using at all times. Hope this helps. :)

I've made these 4 different colour schemes for the segmented faders, if anyone is interested I'll post a link to the files and instructions.

I'm very interested.
