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:

A: Click the far left end of the Track Pane. (I see you got it now).
 
B: Non changeable in Sonar. Panu's Duckbar program can or will at some point. Visit SonarMods.com
 
C: Non changeable. This is the new way to indicate a FOCUSed track.

Well, I only have two and they potentially aren't small, particularly from a dev standpoint, but I think they'd be nice.
 
1. Fully customizable scrollable track sections. Here's what I mean: Right now there are three scrollable track sections, one for tracks, one for busses and one for mains. I really like this. Scrolling through busses without scrolling your tracks in CV is really great. What I'd like is the abiity to put any kind of track in any section, AND to be able to configure the number of sections. So by default it would work exactly as it currently does. But then perhaps you have a top and bottom snare mic that you'd like to send to a "snare" bus and then to the drums bus. You could put that snare bus right next to the tracks that feed it, but still have that snare bus feed a drum bus in the "bus" section of the mixer. Then, for example, you want to use ARC or some other "monitoring" effect. You could create a new section, put the ARC bus in it, bus the master track to it, but still not clutter up your existing "bus" section. Defaults could be set so that busses end up in one section by default and tracks in another (again, replicating existing behavior), but busses and tracks could be moved around freely.
 
2. Bus freeze. Remember back before we had a freeze function we had to bounce tracks? We still have to do that with busses if we want to free up their resources. It'd be really cool to be able to "freeze" a bus so that the audio that is routed to it gets bounced down on to the bus track, sources get archived and FX bypassed without creating a new track in the track view. Essentially it would "convert" the bus to an audio track that lived in the bus section and allow unfreeze just like track freeze does.

I would like the ability for live looping (gapless audio engine a must) This is currently a hit and miss affair with sonars loop functions especially when you compare it to Ableton Live.

I would also like the ability to route an audio track into another audio track, not a buss! This is a big plus for sound design and also allows the ability to perform using one track and record another track, which means if I want to record all plugin/effects changes, I don't have to rely on sonars automation recording, it is frankly a pain in the bum, especially if I am live recording performances which utilise any inbuilt-onboard vst/effects.

Screenset management where by we can lay out out choice or choose a preset template as default, which will then be automatically activated no matter what project you open, old or new. Currently I have loads of projects which are quite old which I would love to rework/remix and it is a pain to have to keep going through and setting up the screensets for each song that wasn't recorded with screen set info in it (pre x1).

Two from me as wishes for the future:

1. Collapsible Console View - where you could use existing track folders to expand and show tracks or hide them like you can in the track view.

2. Being able to drag into the Buses some preferred configurations from a presaved file. You can do that with track templates if you drag in a track and its Bus gets brought in if it's not in your current file. It would be slick if you could start with an empty file and later decide to pull in a bunch of Buses and their effects and routings all with one call up of a saved file. I've seen a Groove 3 tutorial where that was something that appeared to be a feature in ProTools. I'm a committed Sonar Producer user, but I thought that would be slick as a feature.

I would like the text on each of the MultiDock tabs to be shorter (or even editable). In most of my projects I have a screenset where PRV for each midi track is docked in the in the MultiDock. The text on each tab begins "Piano Roll - " followed by the name of the instrument. This takes up a lot of width and results in the need for horizontal scrolling when there are a lot of tabs. It would help if the text "Piano Roll" could be abbreviated to "PRV" or "PR".
 
Worse still, if there is more than one instrument track in PRV, the tab text is always displayed as "Piano Roll - multiple tracks". I often have several of these and there is no way of distinguishing them. It would be useful if the tab text was editable and I could change it to "PRV brass" or whatever.

I don't ask for much, just that ALL text to be color and font changeable.

What am I missing?  A setting somewhere?  Here's what mine looks like:

Check "show strip colors" in the color preferences. That wil help

Interesting note: When this is checked, a FOCUSed track is indicated by the track name background turning white. When it is Unchecked, or turned OFF, a FOCUSed track is indicated by turning lighter gray, like in X1 & X2. The name background still turns white tho.
