Just an update to this for everyone.

The new files work perfectly in S7 but will not work in S6 or S8 unless you rename the version of the .dll to that version. For example, S6 would be Res15.dll, S7 Res16.dll, S8 Res17.dll.

If you put the S7 .dll in S6 or S8 the programs will not open at all unless you rename to that version. Once you do that, the programs WILL open and function properly but some of the buttons and draws will be distorted. Other than that, this works like a charm in S7. However you figured this out alree, thanks....it's awesome as I really needed that Cyan color for the meters in console view. :)

nice job alree! i prefer your faders...less busy than the originals. i made a few tweaks like this myself using a resource editor (especially the main buttons at the top), which resource editor do you use?

Nice hack. And great scheme.

You can download the above colour scheme and TTSRes16.dll file here, just swap the TTSRes16.dll with the one in your Cakewalk/SONAR 7 root folder (eg: C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\SONAR 7 Producer Edition\).
Make sure you keep a copy of the original TTSRes16.dll file safe somewhere, just to be on the safe side.

I use Resource Hacker ( http://www.softpedia.com/get/Programming/File-Editors/Resource-Hacker.shtml ).

The only problem is that Cakewalk have got bitmaps in there for all sorts of versions (and other things by the look of it), trying to figure out which ones belong to your version is a nightmare.

Good luck and may the force be with you.

LOL@ "the force"...yep needed for somethings hahaha. thanks for the info. thats one of the oldest and still one of the best resource editors out there!

EDIT: when i put this in the sonar directory (renaming the original to "TTSRes16_ORG.dll" beforehand)...sonar just flashes the splashscreen for 3 seconds and doesn't do anything....anyone else get this?)...replacing my original back and works again. damn it. thanks anyway alree (version is the same: 7.0.2 (file version 16.0.2.243)...so i don't know what gives....probably stupid vista!)

I've updated one or two things on the mixer and the large transport - previous posted images have been updated so you can see what I've done.
The previous posted link contains the updated files.

Ok heres my small contribution!

First of all Id like to note that some features of my colour scheme are based on what other members have already contributed:

1.The splash screen (and the background image of the colour scheme) is made from a wallpaper already contributed in this forum but unfortunately I cant find the relative post!If the creator of that wallpaper reads this please PM me and ill acknowledge him at one
2.The faders and segmented meters colours are based on the valuable contribution of member "alree"


So here goes....first of all,for all those of you that are tired to be reminded that you dont run the latest version of Sonar,the splash screen:



the colour scheme - which is not very different from the default but a lot darker and with a lot more contrast
In the piano roll view I ve tried my best to keep the bars visible






The fader knobs and segmented meters have been customised by editing the TTSRes16.dll as per "alree'' example!
In the following download link the zip file contains the clr file ,the splash bitmap,and the TTSRes16.dll version 16.0.2.243 as found in Sonar 7!
Please back up your original splash bitmap file and TTSRes16.dll before replacing them with those provided in my zip file
Also in the same zip file there is a background image you can set as a background for Sonar to fit with the splash screen.Enjoy!

EDIT: forgot to mention...I ve named it "dark and intence"

Hi Brandon,

Would you make the color template used for the SONAR 8 demos (at ASE) available? I really like the clean look of that color scheme. I noticed that Seth also used the same scheme on the Production Tour.

Really appreciate it.

Take care,


tecknot

I asked about this already, and I was told they used the "Dark 2" color scheme that is included with Sonar. I checked it and it seems that really is what they used. I don't remember if it was one of the other "Darks" but the difference is really only the clip colors.

Brent

Ah, thank you both, Brent and Brandon. I'll check that out. I'm a little confused by the name of the color scheme. The one I was refering to is a majority of a soft grey color, so maybe the name is just a misnomer.

Nonetheless, I appreciate it.

Take care,


tecknot

Question: I must admit the screen shots are beautiful it it possible to use this TTSRres16.DLL with Sonar 8? Its TTSRres16.DLL is a TTSRres17.DLL. I would think a new one is needed.

There is a size difference. The 8 version is smaller then the 7 version.

Well in 8 it screws up the transport. Not a problem though I was able to go back to the right file.

I guess ,John,you ll just have to use the color schemes without the faders-segment meters "hack"! ;)

If someone wants to make available to me a copy of the Sonar 8 TTSRes17.dll file I'll alter it and post it for Sonar 8 users.
