I did not care much about colors before X1.
In X1, Cakewalk removed colors of some buttons in such way that I could not anymore know if it was pressed down or not. Lack of contrast and colors slowed down my work and caused frustration so much that I began to look for solutions. Now I'm happy again and more productive than ever.
For me it was a good thing Cakewalk removed colors because it gave me inspiration to learn .NET programming. 1.5 years ago I could not write a Windows program to say "Hello world" but now making Win32 API calls is as natural as making a phone call for my GF. ;-)

I hate to say this but the grey thing is an apple thing thats creeping in everywhere,regardless though,I like the look of Sonar,wether a color scheme means it's corporate?,well thats something that I would not be that bothered about,but the grey[on its own] is an apple corporation emblem similarity, If anything.

WAY less color elements can be customized in X1 than 8.5, why ain't Panu on the payroll yet ?

Because he "patches" and prolly CW does not want their programming resources to be drained by what they perceive as a non-issue.

Have you called them and tried to reason with them and show them that it's an issue?

+100 for Sonar Mods by Panu. I got so used to using them, that after I did a recent re-install of X1, I was going through total withdrawl without Sonar Mods. Panu was kind enough to help me sort some other X1 installation issues as well.

Can't say enough about these mods. Bravo!!

This is why I keep Mooch around.


I would have NEVER thought of this.
