I think it's very nice an has the look of old studio hardware or test equipment. My only suggestion would be to punch up the meter display and peak level indicators in the console view. I find them a little too soft. That said, it's a great effort, many thanks to the designer.

It's funny, the meters were the very first things I started tweaking. I became inspired by those, then just got sucked in. But yes, perhaps they can glow slightly more. I do like the color, and yes, it was inspired a little by the old-school antique blue of old gear, a little by Nomad Factory plug-ins, and then I spent a lot of time on an overall pleasing color gamut that I found I could stare at for hours and never feel I wanted to shut it down. Sonar's always had the most aesthetic appeal to me, even dating back to X1.

Really fantastic job, it's super nice to look at without straining my eyes. I was wondering if anyone can tell me, if there is a way to make the full(not just the tabs) track and bus colors change like the Mercury theme does?

That one was requested, but I think that's limited to the Mercury Theme only. It's prossibly embedded in a way not easily adaptable.

All is/are welcome. I enjoyed doing this. Thanks to CW for giving us so many elements to muck with. There's a few minor items I couldn't find, but I'm impressed at what is editable, and if you're good a Photoshop, that helps, too. .PNG's rule.

btw, if anyone knows what element/color I need to edit to affect the selection in the time ruler (it's brown, now), and how I can adjust the text color in AudioSnap, that would be welcomed. Thanks in advance!!

I really like it too and replaced my own one with it almost immediately, with 2 changes: meters like others have said as I wanted more contrast and I think there's a "bug" in the checkbox graphics (I reverted to the default) as checked and unchecked in the Inspector are both empty boxes.

I'll take a look at that this weekend. Thanks for reporting that.
