Just an update to this for everyone.

The new files work perfectly in S7 but will not work in S6 or S8 unless you rename the version of the .dll to that version. For example, S6 would be Res15.dll, S7 Res16.dll, S8 Res17.dll.

If you put the S7 .dll in S6 or S8 the programs will not open at all unless you rename to that version. Once you do that, the programs WILL open and function properly but some of the buttons and draws will be distorted. Other than that, this works like a charm in S7. However you figured this out alree, thanks....it's awesome as I really needed that Cyan color for the meters in console view. :)

My latest colour scheme.
I've also made changes to the Track Fader Knobs - changed them to smooth type and colour coded them for Tracks, Bus's and Mains.
I've changed the Segmented Level Meters to green (changing to yellow at -6db) and I've changed the Now Time widget on the Large Transport
to make it stand out a bit more.
Hope you like.

nice job alree! i prefer your faders...less busy than the originals. i made a few tweaks like this myself using a resource editor (especially the main buttons at the top), which resource editor do you use?

You can download the above colour scheme and TTSRes16.dll file here, just swap the TTSRes16.dll with the one in your Cakewalk/SONAR 7 root folder (eg: C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\SONAR 7 Producer Edition\).
Make sure you keep a copy of the original TTSRes16.dll file safe somewhere, just to be on the safe side.

As Buddy110 already asked,which resource editor would alree or anyone recomend for these kinds of "hacks"?

I use Resource Hacker ( http://www.softpedia.com/get/Programming/File-Editors/Resource-Hacker.shtml ).

The only problem is that Cakewalk have got bitmaps in there for all sorts of versions (and other things by the look of it), trying to figure out which ones belong to your version is a nightmare.

Good luck and may the force be with you.
