Just to see what would happen, I renamed the TTSRES100 dll to TTSRES90 and ran Panup's mod patcher then renamed it back to TTSRES100. It worked but was not quite right. There were things that displayed wrong but on the whole, everything worked. It seems that the colors can be changed so why make us not have them?
I would like to pitch in for Panup's upgrade. Of course, it all depends on if Panup will do it.
 
Chime in if your willing!

Is he on Cake staff now? That may be an issue if so...

No he's not on cakewalk staff - well at least not unless he's had an offer since the 17th of this month when he last commented on his website's forum. He says that he'll get busy with X2 compatability in October when he gets the X2 upgrade.
Panu's mentioned people's generosity before so I conclude that some are contributing financially to support his efforts.
Can I add that you certainly get get good value for money.
