I'm still using Sonar 5, so can't try these themes out. However, I plan to upgrade to Sonar 7 and will want to try out some themes at that point.

What would be awesome is to have a Top 10 (or Top 5 or Top 3) list of color themes, so that there are fewer to have to try out. Do you know of any such lists? Would a poll on here help develop such a list?

Quick Question - What is the option in the color scheme that changes the VU meter - in the CONSOLE view...the one option I've found so far is for the track view - from the drab light blue to the green I see several styles using?? I can't find that one to save my life...

In Sonar 7 got to Options > Colors> Color Category select (Console View) look for VU Lo Level and VU Hi Level, you can also change the color of the tick marks by selecting VU Tick Marks.

Peace

WTF - I have Sonar 6 and that's where I've been changing it but it only changes on the TRACK view for me NOT the CONSOLE view. I want the default light blue channel meter lights to go green on the CONSOLE view.

I wish that they's have different mixer views! I love the one in Sonar 5, but hate the one in Sonar 6... I just want my mixer to look like a mixer sometimes...

You cant change the color of the meters if they are segmented! I'd love to have my green segmented meters back, oh well...............

Yep, millzy is correct... segmented meters can't be changed yet. If you make them non-segmented, you can adjust them all you like.

Maybe a feature request for a configurable meter bridge woiuld be in line?

Sorry - how would one make them non-segmented and what would be the up/downside of doing so?

In your meter options, you can select segmented or non-segmeted.

Segmented meters are less CPU intesive, so things run more smoothly. This is because by segmenting them, they have a lower "resolution" and hence a lighter load on your CPU.

Also, some people like the way they look, and others are more familiar because they resemble a hardware console.

All in all, if your CPU is not being over-taxed, it's just a matter of preference. I find the non-segmented meters to be easier while mixing because of the better resolution, and I like the way I can change the color.
