Nothing about colour customization, is grey on grey here to stay? God I hope not.

I hope there is improved color customazation also. I have vision issues, and gray on grey is not good.
I was encouraged by the look of R-Mix and the new clips editor UI. They both seemed to have much improved color use in their interface design.
 
In the piano roll view, you can't control the color of the notes in the current X1d verstion.  That would be a great improvment for me.

I find it a little disheartening that there is nothing in there about Tempo view. That editing the tempo is the same interface that was introduced back at the dawn of Sonar, over 10 years ago, is a major hassle. And it was a PITA back then. Why tempo isn't this a node/spline based operation is beyond me. So editing anything with multiple tempo changes is maddening and fiddly. There has got to be a better way of doing it.

(Also, what's up with this forum software not recognizing paragraph breaks in Firefox/Win 7?) This is a break. So is this.

Yes, you can, by changing the track colours in the Inspector.
 
But don't change the clip colours by changing the overall track colours - a lot of foreground/background combiniations can cause notes to be semi-visible in the PRV.  To change colours in the track view I highlight the clip(s) in it and changing their (clip) colours.

I really hope they do this color customizing! ! !   Please nice Cakewalk folks - can you tell us if this is a plan in X2 ???

Any word on which TH2 version is in X2, really help on decision to upgrade other product(s). If it is a watered down version, is worth holding off for, have watched some vids, and done some research, but w/o knowing exactly what you're getting makes it harder. Thanks if anyone knows, or can expand on TH2 in general.
