Who decided the colour scheme after Sonar 5

I have asked this question before but never got an answer.
 
Who decided to change the Icon/Menu colours after Sonar 5? Sonar 5 was the last Version to have common sense on the GUI design i.e. Dark letters on light Backgrounds. From Version 6 an Active decision was made that White on Grey or worse White on light gray was a good idea for Icons and . Might be pretty but Damn hard to read. Load your Old Sonar 5 You'll see what I mean.
 
This trend has continued since 2005, someone at Cakewalk needs to take a serious look at this IMHO. You might not agree, that's fine but trying to look like logic on a Mac isn't that important to me as much as the 'Squintability factor'
 
Whomever designed the Color Menu must have taken hundreds of Man hours to code but it doesn't address the fundamental problem of poor color choices in the GUI design and you can't actually change the colours that are wrong (Icons, Menus etc) I mean looking at X1 now there are Light Gray letters on Dark grey backgrounds and vice verse. Doesn't make sense to me.
 
For the record, Yes I do wear glasses and I do have 24" Modern LED/LCD Monitor but it's just a strange deicsion. Maybe someone should have spent the Coding time on the colour change menu making Sonar Skinnable instead.

I loved the way SONAR 5 looked as well.  It was the cries of lost creativity because SONAR didn't look like the EuroDAWs that influenced it I guess.

Wouldn't mind seeing it go back to that style at all.

Yes - more freedom of color and font size would be an awesome modification for Cakewalk to release.
 
I also like dark lettering on lighter surfaces. 
 
Choice is good.
