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.

hehe...
 
 
Yes, first time when I tried it (January) it didn't work installing it? Patch error?
I will try again and see if it works now..

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 bet you'd like to change the size of the fonts too.

Absolutely sure... and I don't get it WHY and it is only Cakewalk that still use minimal fonts and overall to small Window layout?
X1 are better but some things are still to small.
 
 PLease Cakewalk, We are not using 800 X 600 screen resolution any more.
 
We are using 1920 x1200 or 1920 x 1080 screens.
Come on and make it overall bigger otherwise you need to start include this tool in all your BOX versions.

Thanks, and great work you have done Panup. I'm all for it!! I tried it, some of the skin colors and GUI are really good and better but I'm back to original GUI and skin again.
I don't like the new graphical SKIN in CONSOLE view. (Pro Channel was cool!) I think the original GUI of the CONSOLE are clearer and better to work with I just don't like GREY color of all the boards. I want it dark grey or dark blue. That is the only thing I really want to change in X1 not the X1 GUI.

I'm surprised too. I had a feeling CW would have seen the light by now. Anyway, thank goodness for Panup. I'm also looking forward to the skin editor from Benstat.

Hi Freddie,
I add dark blue console to wish list. Check available mods again later this week.

Hold on.... there are Sonar users who use laptops with screen resolutions of 1200x800. New laptops come with widescreens with even lower resolution.

Come On!!
 
 
Even laptops comes in FULL HD today if we not talk about small pocket PC.
So you saying because "some" "minority" users still use low resolution screens the MAJORITY should suffer? Should Cakewalk stay in low resolution because of that? No way!
 
The new standard should be: 1920 x1080 or 1920 x 1200 minimum. People that don't use that today need to update or it will LOOK HUGE on your old monitors.
