You're welcome.
 
Would you like about a zillion synth icons for Sonar's synth rack? Seriously, I've got a bundle of them.

Looks good here too.  I noticed a few niggles, but I haven't used it much at all yet.
 
Thanks you very much for sharing your work.

Let me know about the niggles. If I can, I'll straighten them out.

Wow!! Mercury button's really fit in well with Tungsten. Thank you bakers for providing us with this one hell of an option for customization.

When I come up with new icons, I send them to Cakewalk. Almost all of them have made it into the program. If you post a link somewhere I'll check them out, then alert the Bakers to get in touch with you.

I've started garnet red and green themes (two separate themes; I'm not hearing sleigh bells yet). Both are over a Tungsten background and look like they'll be pretty nice, though possibly more as something to switch to when one gets bored with one's main theme.
 
Tungsten's background is really cool as it's so neutral. I seriously think someone could do a magenta theme and make it work.
 
I'm not guessing when these will be finished, however.
 

 

I wonder if there is a way to change the colors on the track view,for the volume line, pan lanes, and gain line; I had tried every thing in the theme editor but it seems impossible...

Can I please get a copy of that icon with your face on it Craig ?
Ive seen it in your YouTube videos.

Here's my contribution. I mostly concentrated on the console view. I'm still refining it. I posted the theme in the software forum sticky. I'm trying to create function with the colors. You'll see what I mean when you try it.

This is really nice looking.

It is possible to have multiple theme editors open and copy/paste between them.  To revert any custom element to Mercury, delete the existing custom image or reset the color setting.

Nominated for most helpful post of the year!! Thanks!

I played around with the theme editor a bit last week and my observation is that I think it was partially released to show how complicated and difficult it is to produce a theme! :)
 
This is not a knock on Cakewalk - this is just how it is.  Changing a few colors is one thing, but actually developing a theme is something else.  I do web design as a part of my business and we talk to people every week who believe it is "simple" to build a custom website, then they show us what they've done and tell us how much time they spent to get there: it looks bad and took 10s of hours to do and in the end, they determine that building a full site on their own is not for them.
 
I am very familiar with my image editing software and I thought it was really cool that I could basically directly edit the graphics from the editor, save them back, and have them "live" in the editor.
 
I thought that the most difficult part of this is the sheer number of items there are to edit and the fact that there are no "macro" level changes to make, like "make all of the button background look like this" and choose a color or make a gradient.  It's a lot more piece by piece than that, and that can get tedious really fast.
 
The same design principals apply here as with anything: know what you want to do before you just dig in and start changing things.  Pick your color palette, know where the elements are that you need to change, and be complete.  It's a LOT of effort.
 
I think that this should bring a new level of respect to the creators of any themes, whether made by Cakewalk or by the community.
 
Happy to see the option for those who want to really dig into the customization.
