Sonar X2 Producer Colours

Hiya
Just upgraded from Sonar X1 to X2 and tried to import some of my old colour themes that I saved from Sonar v8, and X1 but they all seem to have changed and be dark, I like my Sonar X1 pastel track colours.
Can someone explain what is happening, I have tried to change some track clip colours but they don't seem to take effect even after a complete restart.
Thankyou for your support
Hubie-J

All the Best, Take care, Hubie-J

    Colour customisation was removed for the X series, apart from a limited number of changes that you CAN make.
     
    But, I see no reason why colour schemes saved in X1 cannot be imported successfully into X2.
     
    I'm presuming you did an Export from X1 (creating a .clr file) and then importing it into X2?

    The reason why I think the new default clip color in X2 is logical:
     

     
    It's so easy to identify which clips are not linked clips (because I just need to look for black clips).

    What I did was go into Edit => Preferences. Scroll down to Customization and select Colors. In the field for Presets, click the down arrow and select X1 Light. Click Apply, then Close. That will make X2 look like X1.
