This is my list: 
1) Increase the resolution and scale down all of the screens so that more can fit on the display. Look at the ProTools console or even the Presonus Studio One Console. They can fit 48 tracks on one screen. In Sonar with ProChannels open and narrow strips I can get maybe 34 tracks and even less with ProChannels open. I sure most people have HD displays that need it. Seems like there is a lot of wasted space at the top of the console. Make the strips thinner using the space at the top.
2) Some more color options would be nice.

This was originally an x2 Fred that Bapu changed the title to x3. Gotcha!

Wrong.
 
It was a Fred that was created after X2 came out and I saw that none of my X2 requests were filled so I immediately started an X3 request fred.

1. Track boundary to extend downward to re-encompass Take Lanes like they did Layers, so that there's no mistaking Lanes vs. Tracks. Also make the buttons of the Take Lanes smaller or the Tracks larger. Allow separate background shade for Lanes.
 
2. Add "Entire album of Projects" export archiving tool to back up a whole album's worth of worth into a single, large archive file.
 
3. Offer a large-scale video scaling for large touch-screens and allow them to expand to up to eight 40" monitors, or the ability to "swipe" your way around a full-sized console.
 
4. Allow removal of the PC EQ. Allow the FX bin in the track to expand in height. Allow mouse-scroll to move up and down the height of a track, if the whole height isn't shown.
 
4a. Bigger faders. 120mm would be nice. 
 
5. Ability to disable parts of the DAW, such as the whole MIDI engine, if you're working a project that doesn't use MIDI, or you don't use PC, Notation, etc.
 
6. While Editing give me the ability to refine my selection, even though we know it's possible to adjust after the Paste.
 
7. Create a "tester" for latency by allowing a test signal to be played, recorded, and then repeat, so that Sonar can actually measure a signal's latency through actual cabling, for example. This can manually be done (to the sample) using the metronome.
 
8. Give me a control for Zoom sensitivity using a mouse-wheel.
 
9. Give me (like Loop Construction window) a track view for a selected track. Maybe even one for all the Take Lanes. Since you can use the Inspector to look at the PC and console view of a single track, why not offer the converse when in Console View, meanwhile eliminating all other tracks from view. Yes I know you can hide the other tracks or use Track Manager to do this as well, but it's not nearly as easy.
 
10. Allow the solo'd Take Lane to appear in the Track when the Take Lanes are collapsed.
 
I have posted other ideas, but these are useful for me.
 
 
 
 
 

1. All the colours, all the time.
2. Varispeed.
Pretty please with strawberry jam on top!

I only have two things to request: a duplicate clip function, and an envelope follower for automation.

1. ...Allow separate background shade for Lanes.
   
4a. Bigger faders. 120mm would be nice. 
  
10. Allow the solo'd Take Lane to appear in the Track when the Take Lanes are collapsed.
  

These would be some of my top picks, along with more sends in the CV/TI, color options, an expanded EQ plot (as recently discussed) and a little TLC in the SV.
 
 
Oh... and varispeed would be nice (not necessary, but nice).
 
What the heck...  the ability to use Melodyne ala S1, whether it's ARA or whatever (even less necessary since I have S1 but still nice).
 
 
OK, OK, one more...  An optional tempo track at the top (like the video or navigator views) using an automation envelope.  May as well have a "flexible" timeline to go with it.    Yeah, I know, SONAR X5.

A lot of good ideas here.  I'd like the mouse-wheel to control zoom (a la Sony Vegas). 

I want an authoring tool for my new vinyl burner!

That would be pretty cool, I have that option turned on in Photoshop and it works really well.
