I Agree

Changing background of clips working fine here (go to clip preferences).  Also all other colorchanges I've tried in the preferences box ( press P and go to colors) .
What are you missing?

Global changing of background clip colors.  You can change a clip background... then you record a new clip and you'd have to manually change it again.

ok.
But you can select all (or just a few) clips and change foregound or background color in the clip preferences. You don't need to do it one by one.
I understand that this is not what you want, but I think it's a ok workaround.  Maybe it can be saved as a track or project template also ?

I'd like to be able to add color to the different marker sections.
 
Here's an example of how you can do this in Pro Tools:

A workaround : Use a "dummy" MIDI track. Split it where you want and change background colors in the clip preferences

I remember in one of the Cake videos, possibly one of the webinars, he inserted a dummy MIDI track at the top of the project.
 
He then used clips of different colours to mark each section of the project.
 
I know it's not what you're asking, but it's pretty effective.

I appreciate the effort and help but it's not an ok workaround and there are a bunch of threads about this.  As well as being able to change the background of the track view, etc.  I don't understand why the colors were so much more customizable in older versions of sonar, why remove it...?
 

....you can change the background of the track view.
 
A lot of the threads about missing color customizations was when X1 and X2 came out.
The problem was that the option in preferences to change colors, didn't work.
Cakewak fixed that In X3  so now it works like it is supposed to.
Maybe there is less options than we had in 8.5, but I like the way we now can color tracks and busses
But of course It would be nice to have even more options.

Fix the Playlist.

I am very happy for you that you like the sonar colors.  Though I'm not sure what that has to do with my top-3 requests of colors, colors, colors.  Nevertheless, I will gratefully concede that you win the internets if you can just show me how to change the colors I've marked below as A, B, C:
