First off, there IS a way to change the color of the fade line. See Page 47.

I bet there's a way to change the color of the in-clip FX widget also.
50 Internet Points to the first person to find it!

When it's implemented it needs to be for both selected and unselected situations to work for any situation.

Thanks Colin but it's not working for Selected Clips.

These I've found are not changeable.

"Selected Clip Fades"

"Clip Stretch Percentage"

"Selected Clip Stretch Percentage"

Cakewalk Color Palette (CLR) files are just ini files which stores variables with values.

Only assigning new variables for lacking parts to Color Palette will fix this issue.

If there are other not changeable things in the software we can list down here.

No. Not countless. Actually they are not many.

I say "countless" becaue I'm too lazy to count them. :D

I used Panup's Duckbar with Sonar X3 and found almost 500 areas that could be changed.  Many more were never found due to limitations (1000's of black results). I posted the lists in Themes forum a while ago. Theme Editor has less than what I found and it's doubtful the rest will ever be included.

Best we can do is make requests for missing areas.

Countless doesn't mean "didn't counted". Countless means plenty.

These numbers doesn't mean anything about what we are talking about here.

This is what we are supposed to do in this topic.

At the beginning I thought requesting only adding some color options for lacking mostly used parts. 
But if we want to get rid of this problem, it should be done entirely. 
Here is the list of the uncustomizable parts in the Cakewalk:

Post closed as it appears to have lost direction.

Many things are customisable in the Theme Editor and also in preferences.  I suggest reading the Reference guide on customising CbB the are over 500 references on the topic in the guide.
