CBB Theme for an old, legally blind person?

Recommended Posts

Hello

I have been using Cakewalk since the mid '90s.  My last time really using Sonar Platinum was in 2017, before Cakewalk was sold.  (Yea, I bought the lifetime license...)

I have R.P and my eyes have been getting worse over time.  A few years back I tried using Paint.net to create my own High Contrast theme for Sonar.  I made progress but never mastered the art of theme creation.

What I need to use CBB is a theme that is black on white (like 0x000000 on 0xFFFFFF).  An the fancy track coloring and shades of gray are lost on me.  They only make it difficult to see.  (I actually use ZoomText to smart invert all colors, so when I ask for black on white, I am really going to see white on black.  But that is an aside...)

Are there any super high contrast Light themes out there?  (Probably not...)

Are any of you guys or gals willing to take on a freelance project to create me a theme?  I have USD.  I don't have 20/400 vision...

If not, I will need to try to build one myself again.   (But that is a rat hole I would rather avoid...)

Please let me know.  I will share the end product with the world via this site.  There are plenty of us old folk losing our site as we age, but not losing our love of music.

Thanks for your consideration.

Cheers

Give FLAT WHITE a try. It's not extreme contrast but might be close to what you need.

Now I have this urge to create an extreme contrast - but usable - theme. I wish I had more time!

FWIW, some colorizing experiments I have tried based on my aging eyesight.

The shades of white, black, and grey on top of other shades of white, black, and grey never worked well for me.

I get that you're looking for Black Text on White Background.. does this mean that the default Tungsten theme doesn't work for you? It is pretty good high-contrast, the only "problem" is that it is Bright-On-Dark. Is that out of the question for your visual impediment?

Just curious.
