WHY can't we still not change all the COLORS in SONAR X1 like in SONAR 8.5?
 
Console view .. the grey borders..etc...

I'm having a problem changing the colour/color of Midi Name Text in CV, could change it in X1a, the only one that will not change.

Because they rock!!

Go grab Panup's Dark Side of Sonar, Freddie. He has the X1b version available and it works perfectly. and yes, he has it for 64 too because "64 really matters!" LOL :) I must admit, I was a bit astonished we didn't have the color change options as well.

However, if you look at the huge list of stuff that was worked on, it's really in the best interest of the community to fix those things and then give us the color options. Sure, I would have loved to have had them with this update the same as you, but what good is a DAW program that looks great yet doesn't work? They've actually solved quite a bit of my issues with this version so I'm quite happy and can at least dive a bit deeper into X1 now.

I've got a feeling that using the new skylight gui has given them less of an opportunity to make these objects with user color control.... Maybe by X1c, but I doubt it. that sounds like an issue that may be resolved by X2 or it may be held back due to skylight issues....

Panup is our only salvation... I can't wait for Benstat to have his Skinning Editor ready for us... then with Panups excellent modes and a little personal editing via X1 Skin Editor and we'll be comfortable.... for a bit...

I feel comfortable already, no personal editing is needed anymore... ;-)

Changing colors of bitmaps requires new program code and things get complicated. I don't believe X2 allows user change bitmap colors until they build similar Skin Editor Ben is finishing now. Does CW need to do anything? We get user friendly, easy to use and learn Skin Editor in few weeks...

Thanks Panu...

I'll bet you Do! (feel comfortable) ;-)

I'm close. Your work is great but I have a few decisions a bit different in mind... such as changing the R for Automation Read to RD and the red dot to R (in all locations)... changing the peak value (digits) in track headers to a color I can see (it doesn't exist (visibly) in Orfeus)...

Just little things.... So I await the editor so I can mix it with your work as so much of what you have done is already what I would chose.... One version or another (Orfeus or Dark Side)... or somewhere close!

Maybe benstat can make a deal with them to work his editor into the program/package as they did with the Sonitus tools?

I could make RD buttons to next updates; in fact there are RD buttons in some places already but I forgot to change them everywhere.
Orfeus Peak value: oh, I must check this! Unintentional.  Is my next mod named as Kenmod... :-D

Thanks Panup

That would be awesome!

R is just too used to mean record all over.... and I know that tape machines typically only have a red dot or some such, but if they had to use the R key on a keyboard, using an R as a label just makes more sense as well as being too important and familiar... I felt this way even in 8.5 when they changed track delete from D to L    ...Very misleading!

I always wanted an Orfeus of my own! ;-)
