Request for next update

[Richter Grimbeek]

Request for next update: Please fix 1. the track color options. The whole track does not change color. 2. Track markers color. Kind Regards.

1. For Track Colors, go to Preferences and check "Show Strip Colors".  You can adjust the Saturation to suit:



2. There's currently no way to change the marker colors other than changing Color Scheme, however we're currently having discussions about ways to provide color schemes in the future.

You know I'm never going to overlook an opportunity...

I have no idea how the colors are assigned internally but my guess is that there is some kind of lookup table of "named color element =  #000000". We don't need a Theme Editor - we just need to be able to drop an appropriately formatted text file into a specific location to have Sonar recognize it as an alternative theme source.

I realize it isn't quite that simple - you'd need to validate the file structure as "good" before adding it to the list of available themes. Back in the day we used to use XML/XSD for that, no need to write a document format validator from scratch, just define the .XSD.

Ideally, there would be a default lookup table that our custom color maps would "overlay" rather than replacing, but you know I'd be happy if I had to provide the entire color map without any shortcut.

Anyway. Keep up the good work. We have faith!

We are planning for a degree of customization and considering json file based approaches too.
