I think we need an update for Sonar 8.5.  Buddy?

:-)

I think we need a overall update of SONAR GUI! =)
Even though SONAR looks nice today too..There new plugins looks nice ;)

willpower life-power sucking faders? wow.

I'm actually liking the colors for 8.5.  I tweaked them only a tiny bit and overall it's working for me.

ok a little overdramatic on my part and yes sonar does look slightly better these days with a  little tweeking, but buddy's classic faders are nice, and i need them, i don't know why but i need them, kinda like the 8.5 upgrade

May be more changes than you want but..

Simple Dark theme with DLL V2

Nice, thanks hbb!
 
 
 
EDIT: Wait!  I'm not able to correctly patch Sonar.  First, I got an error when I used the patch on the original .dll file, so I moved it out of the Sonar Producer folder and brought yours in (that way the original wasn't getting overwritten).  So I tried that and the patch worked, but Sonar didn't open (thank God I kept the original .dll).  So what's the deal?  How do we patch it?
 
 
 
 

That was my first attempt at an .exe.
Try saving the original then replace with the DLL included in the rar file.
I'm deleting the exe now.
I've adjusted the  link.Simple Dark theme and DLL V2

Nope, no luck. 

Sonar won't even open with that .dll.  Had to go back to the original.

I guess I'll wait for Buddy to chime in.  Thanks for trying though :-)
