How Much Time Till Cakewalk for Bandlab is Permanently Deactivated?

We do plan on improving user customization for colors in the future. It wont be the same as what theme editor does since that was bitmap based. Its not as simple as you think - the entire UI backend has been replaced in Sonar.

Noel,  respectfully, I never said or implied I thought it was simple.  All I stated was my real issue.  I'm literally poking around in studio one right now and have been able to change track colors, contrast even key bindings to cakewalks within minutes, and I didn't have to bother anyone or ask to do it.  Personally, I don't want to leave,  but if you want people to support the product, listening to them on things like workflow and preferences shouldn't be a point of friction.

I downloaded Sonar evaluation copy and see that many of the features I use are still there, except for the color options being quite limited.  Changing the color of events in the Event List has always been very useful, now it's gone.  I thought Sonar was going to add new features, not take away old ones!

I also discovered that the bug that has been present in the Notation Editor, which is the inability to display dotted & tied triplets correctly has not be repaired.   

Finally, if I use Sonar Free for a while before subscribing, does this mean I have to see the membership information and evaluation countdown every time I load the app?

I want to support Sonar by subscribing but so far it's a bit disappointing to see long-standing notation errors still unaddressed and fewer color options...

I have a minor niggle here!

In CbB, I could settle my cursor over the Performance Meters and a small window would pop up, showing the realtime measurements of threads, ram and disc!!

This feature is not in Sonar Free it seems! I set my cursor over it now and nothing happens!!!

Is there a setting I forgot about or is that feature gone?

Not a deal breaker, but I relied on this to monitor how close I was to crapping out the CPU.

It will be sorely missed.

They appear on my system using the free tier Sonar.
