  • X3b: Anyone figure out how to change the text and background color of the active track?

X3b causes the active track's name and background color to stand out from the other non-active tracks.  This is a good thing, but I can't seem to find a way to change the foreground and background color of the active track's name and background color.  I know how to change the color of an audio, MIDI or instrument track's name, but not the active track.
 
Am I missing something or, can this simply not be done?

I checked the Colors option in Preference now but I think it's not possible to change them.
I'm not sure if I like the light blue background color yet. Maybe I'll get used to it.

That is the the new active track indicator. It replaces the hi-lighting of the past.

I guess, just like you aren't allowed to change the blue color of the big display in the Transport module (because you'll spoil the beauty of Sonar!), you aren't allowed to change the color of the new blue track indicator as well.
Hmm....I wish we could change them to any color so that Sonar can look like Sampletank.

This is not currently a configurable setting. If you think it would be a handy setting to have I encourage you to post it to the feature request section.

Yeah, I posted feature request about Undo- nothing happened...
 
I would like to see the entire track changing color when selected (as it used to be). I always- ALWAYS looking for selected track in X2 and X3. That little blue background where the track name written is not enough to quickly find 1 selected track out of 50. If I could- I would change it to bright red (actually- orange)- the whole thing.

I probably, won't, it's not that important.  As long as I can see the active track at a glance all is well, which I can the way it is now.
 
Thanks,
