Track Colors - Can we get more?

It would be very handy if we had more track color variations to choose from.

    I'm not sure if this is what the OP meant, but I'd like previously used custom colors added to the list of standard color blocks.   Like Microsoft/Office apps.

    There is SONAR mods , cakewalk forum post .

    Why cant the person who make the mods, collaborate with Cakewalk
    and send his theme's to them, he can get some benefits from cakewalk by making theme's.

    Personally like to have it simple IMO and not having to use other programs to do so
    having a lot of themes then it is simple to change the look of sonar, it certainly need some variation.

    It is not just about the " colors " but the texture and shape, like wood, metal, knobs, switches etc
    it is also important that buttons, etc clearly indicate if it is PRE or POST
    " understanding of the visual's. "

    ( If a post button is green, we know it is in post mode, when it is in red then, it is in PRE mode
    but it is even easier if the text on it change's to PRE, when it is red. )
     
    Appearance is important.., not only for the users, but for new DAW buyers
    " appearance sell " right ?

    I frequently assign 16 different colors to tracks and clips (6 from the new palette and 10 from the old palette's custom color section), so the new palette won't satisfy me if it becomes just customizable.

    Already voted for that one too.   
     
    But that's actually what I was referring to above - like Office apps that add custom colors to the delivered blocks so the list builds.

    I would like more contrast so I can tell if my f/x are on or bypassed in f/x bins.  Would that be so difficult for the bakers to implement?

    All the best,

    ^^ I still find it odd that the toggling power being lit/unlit is right above the FX bin but never made it into that box. Grey/different grey would be instant failure on a piece of hardware.

    I agree, but I doubt that will get the visibility it deserves inside of this very specific FR  ;)

    Are you suggesting a larger display for colors, or more to choose from?
     
    If you click other here

     
    you get this





    I was thinking instead of 12 default colors immediately available to choose from, it would be nice to have maybe a few dozen with more variations to choose from.

    There are 12 "factory preset" colors and 16 "user preset" colors. It takes a click to get to the user presets.

    The first 3 books in "The Musician's Guide to Home Recording" series are available from Hal Leonard and http://www.reverb.com. Listen to my music on http://www.YouTube.com/thecraiganderton, and visit http://www.craiganderton.com. Thanks!

    After selecting the clip, it's 2 clicks vs. 4 clicks in total to change the color.
    For those of us who frequently change clip colors, it's a big difference.

    IMO, if/when colors are able to be stored in templates the click burden will be substantially reduced.  For me anyway ...
