Is there an option I am missing? I have tried importing some of them and some don't seem to import properly...the P5 one doesn't work at all; the MQ one imports most stuff, but I am still left with grey in some places (seems to be the main window mostly).

All very nice but can we import colour schemes from previous versions
of Sonar?
I just tried to import some but had no idea where to find them.
I'm not even sure if I have any.
Cheers
Steve

You have to restart Sonar for the entire scheme to take effect. There are a few of the things in Sonar that change that require a restart. So the P5 preset does nothing? Lemme know, I can repost it.

Edit: Xylyx, thats strange. I just downloaded and imported it fine.

It's okay...I think the original file I got was corrupt, as it was only 2k. Just downloaded again and it's 10k, so it will probably be okay now.

Ooh, nice work LionSound! I like the Kinetic scheme too.

Rothchild - There seems to be a lot of confusion regarding how to use the color schemes, so perhaps we (meaning you, of course ) could add a blurb on your website briefly explaining how to import/export .clr and .reg colo(u)r schemes? And thanks for hosting these!

Sure thing I'll get to it.

Sorry to those who may have got a broken download earlier I've been back through it all and hopefully the QC should be a little better now - I'm not a web dev or a designer (as you can probably guess) so I appreciate your patience with me ;-)

And of course thanks to all those who have contributed schemes so far, if you want to see your scheme up at http://sonartemplates.googlepages.com/home just email it to me at popworks AT gmail DOT com and I'll put it up as soon as I can.

Right I've just noticed a few more in the inbox so I'm off to get them posted!

I've downloaded MQ's, Lionsounds Kinetic and DonM's Dark side. DonM's does not work, the other two work flawlessly, it looks like DonM's in only 2 kb versus 10 and 9 kb respectively for the other two. Anybody else had problems with DonM's? I think it's missing something, I've tried restarting Sonar twice to no avail.

Hehe, I was thinking about doing a PT scheme. I don't have PT though, so I don't have access of its screen shots. If someone is interested, let me know here, or PM me. I'll need screen shots of the Console View, and Track View, with at least ten audio and MIDI tracks in the TV ... alternating some clip view and some inline view for the MIDI tracks in TV. Also prefer the song to be playing so you captur the meters in the pics.

In the meantime, check the next thread ...

I got them all to work except Stickmans, which is a reg file I haven't tried yet

Where's LionSounds PruTuoles style!?

Excellent stuff guys, thank you;
it really helps me to learn the interface and the directory structure

Here's a new scheme based around Live 6's colors. As always, you can download the .Clr file from Rothchild's Sonartemplates page

Once you download the color scheme, where does it go in Sonar 6.2?

Hi Boseyman

Theres some instructions for loading and saving Sonar .clr templates here: http://sonartemplates.googlepages.com/saveandload

Sorry ladies and gents, I am having trouble with DonMs download I only have a 2k file too, DonM please can you send me your .clr file directly?

I've made another page with some instructions for loading and saving colour schemes if someone could have a look and let me know if it makes enough sense or not it'd be much appreciated.

Cheers

Will do, when I get back to studio one where the DAW is with the .clr file - Is your email address in your profile? Just let me know where to send it if your address is not in your profile - thanks

Here's a new color scheme I did based on FL Studio 7.

Go to Rothchilds page to download

Damn, that actually looks nice. Maybe because I am so used to FLS.

MQ's Scheme now available here: http://sonartemplates.googlepages.com/home

Many thanks for that Rothchild. Picked up MQ's scheme, which is the perfect desert antidote to the current deep freeze in the Northeast.

I call this "purple haze". I also adjusted a bunch of the text colors to make them easier to see (well, at least for me...). See Rothchild's page for both left and right monitor.

Right monitor:

I think the color cuztomization tool is missing an eye dropper tool. In apps like photoshop, there is a little eye dropper that you can click on anything on your desktop and the dropper will capture the color and make it your active color. That would be nice.

It would also be nice to be able to click on a screen control / window, widget, etc... to pick the thing you want to customize instead of having to scroll through a big list.
