In Windows 7, I put it here:

C:\Users\myname\AppData\Roaming\Cakewalk\SONAR X1 Producer\

and it worked.

How about for those using Windows XP.  I searched the entire drive and found no files with a .clr extension.  I tried creating a new color scheme and svaing it from within the dialog box and it didn't appear to result in the creation of a file with a .clr extension.  The only place I can find that this information is stored is in the Registry.  Is there someplace that X1 will look for the 'clr files in XP?

Thanks,
Don

How to locate and open the registry ? Where does it appear under the root C: drive ?

If you are not familiar with editing registry entries I advise to to proceed with extreme caution.
You could quite easily make your machine totally unbootable so BE WARNED

You access it by typing in regedit in the search box.

MAKE SURE THE FIRST THING YOU DO IS TO EXPORT YOUR CURRENT REGISTRY

Please, make sure you do some research on regedit before you start messing around with it

 
 
 
Thanks Bristol_Jonesey. Also, for the warning. I agree.
As such, I am quite wary of messing with system files and I am not a software programmer anyway. So, surely, I dont intend to do anything unless I am absolutely clear about the right method and the purpose.
 
Now that leads me to ask the following :
Where within this registry database would the settings for the colour schemes be ?
How to edit them ?
What are the purposes that can be solved with regards to the colour scheme ? Do we need to actually copy a new .clr file into this database for it to work within Sonar X1 ?
Is an export and re-import of a .clr file within the colours pallete under preferences necessary for the changes to take effect ?
Which is the location where the custom .clr files created by the user have to be saved so that Sonar X1 (or windows registry maybe) recognizes and applies it ?
 
As I cant get to change the console and track strip background colours,
I had this related question within another post :   http://forum.cakewalk.com/fb.ashx?m=2602698
 
Any help will be great and appreciated. And sorry for so many questions on this colour scheme thing. I just had one to start with, but now I see that many things seem to be related to this.
 
Thanks.

Stickman, thanks for the file.
Just dragged onto the desk top and Imported via colours.
I tweeked your file a bit for my own taste.

BJ..that waring even scared me man.
the word unbootable?...lol
it makes you think twice dot it?

Ok so I am being more than a little thick here..... 

When I click the link in post 1 all I get is a txt doc.  How do I get rid of the .txt to allow it to say just clr? If I try save as it still saves as a txt doc.

I know this is simple, and that's just how I feel :-) 

Help, please :-)

Thanks very much.

I couldnt rename the file as the file extension wasnt showing.  I had to go into the File and folder options and deslected hide known file extensions first. 

I didn't know abou  Import Colour schemes, so thanks for that.

Thanks again for the color presets,  they look great !!
