Return of color setting function

[Happen135]

I look forward to the return of the following features.
1. The vertical grid lines and background color of the piano window can be freely set,
2. When selecting a track, the background color of the left channel bar will match the color of the selected track, just like Bandlab's color scheme.
3. The project fonts in the plugins directory are larger, they now look too small
As a long-time user of Sonar for over 20 years, it's hard to give up on Sonar from Sonar4 until now, isn't it? I sincerely look forward to this return! Thank you, Sonar!

The background color and the font size of the plugins are too small, which really makes me, an elderly person, anxious. I squint my eyes and stare at the screen with tears streaming down my face

It has @happy816 been repeatedly explained that it is planned but not scheduled. 

Moving to correct form for feature requests.

My English is not good, I can only express myself through translation software. The meaning may not be so accurate. I hope your company can understand. Thank you!

It is understood, a theme editor is planned but not scheduled yet. There are a number of themes plus you can make basic colour adjustments in Preferences.

The background of the piano window cannot be set separately, and if you want to adjust it to a white background, you can only adjust the theme. It is not easy to accept the entire interface being light colored. Looking forward to returning to the previous user-defined piano window background color and black key color.Also, can Sonar use Bandlab's theme files and color presets? If possible, how should I proceed?

Unfortunately, no.

I don't have Sonar currently installed but you could try importing an exported color.clr set from CbB to see if the PRV colors will carry over.  This actually worked with some Sonar 8 colors that X1 had removed,

First thing I tried, didn't work.....

Anymore, my eyes are slowly going South and since I work mostly in PRV, the ability to change the background is important.

I am wondering if you can try adjusting the windows contrast using the windows colour management tool.

Start run > colorcpl.exe > advanced tab > Calibrate Display

I have played with screen adjustments but that affects everything, and with CbB and previous SONARs it's not an issue since PRV colors can be changed at will.  Since X1, colors are slowly turning gray until all color is gone from life.  Sonar now has a theme returning the record button red again, but only after enough people said something.  For me ability to see and use trumps features, tho when I finally can't see at all it won't matter. 😎

I have to admit, I too like to adjust colours and was a little disappointed when the list of adjustable colours in Sonar was reduced.

It reminded me a bit of George Orwell's “1984” when a character mentioned that the new edition of the Newspeak dictionary was thinner than the last edition.

All but track colors were removed, but I don't see why the energy & cost to do that was spent, after the energy & cost to add them was spent, when they are critical to the smooth operation of the software.

I have tried the method you mentioned, but the color change does not take effect

The background color of the piano window can be freely defined, but the font size of the instruments and effects is too small. Choose the background color of the track channel bar to synchronize with the track! I look forward to these returns being like Bandlab Cakewalk.

If I'm understanding correctly you're talking about the title bar of Prochannel modules in the Inspector following the track color in CbB, and not in Sonar, I hadn't actually noticed that til now. It would be nice to have that back.

Yes, Mr. David Baay, in CbB, after defining the colors of different instrument tracks and performing operations such as compression on the left channel bar, it is clear at a glance. However, now it is not possible. I have to repeatedly confirm whether the channel bar I am processing is the one I have chosen, and the color I can refer to is only the narrowest one at the bottom of the channel bar.
