Save Look and Feel from Older Version > Import to New?

[Steve_Karl]

Greetings everyone! (Windows 7 64 bit)

I'm wondering, is it possible to save (grab, export, capture) the look and feel of an older version and import it to a newer version?

I have 2018.11 (Build 31, 64 bit) installed and when building up an other new OS partition ...
I installed the current version, but it looked so different than the setup I have on the older I just bailed out.

It's mainly about the modules on the top bar it seems. I just didn't want to hassle with it,
especially since 2018.11 (Build 31, 64 bit) is running flawlessly and I did have problems with other newer versions in the past.

If the visual transition was quick and easy I'd be willing to update and see if it works as well as the older version.
Possibly copying a config file?

Chances are the new install defaulted to the Basic workspace.

If you don't use lenses in 2018.11 then set the workspace menu to None.

This will show the full default Control Bar.

The control bar settings are stored in the registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cakewalk Music Software\Cakewalk\Core\MCBControlBar

IIRC, there have been some bug fixes to the Control Bar and at least one new module added since 2018.11
