Track Color Setting: Sonar vs Bandlab version

[Rickddd]

Help for a new Sonar user/old bandlab vet.

I'm guessing we can't.. but my question is this: in the bandlab  version, when I set a track color, it made the entire track reflect some version of that color (e.g, green and light green).  I just upgraded to Sonar, and when I try to set track color the same way, it only colorizes the small vertical  bar on the far left of the track.  The rest of the track track, including the various background button controls, don't change at all, except for the wave forms.

Am I doing something wrong?

The small vertical bars actually inhibit good eye scanning when they are the only color indication in the new Sonar, for my eyes at least.

I hope there is a way to do it.
