Where is the THEMES folder located in the old Sonar X3 Studio?

I don't think SONAR X3 ever had support for themes. It first appeared with SONAR Platinum.

I didn't use Themes with SONAR X3--didn't know they had Themes; can't find them in a search of the pdf.**

 Do you have a memory of using them in X3?  Is it possible they were known by another name? 

**After not finding "theme" in the SONAR X3 Reference Guide, I couldn't find it in the User Guide either.

There were no themes in SONAR X3 - they were first introduced in SONAR Platinum.

If I remember my history correctly we all had no problem with Cakewalk/ Sonars graphics up until X1 came out. The comments were pretty much just like we are now seeing since New Sonar was released.  
X1 also at the time was a regressive version that was unstable  and very buggy! And ya, people like me hated it enough to stay using Sonar 8.5. So I imagine that the solution was the theme editor that didn’t come along until Platinum was released as well as the sort of subscription idea too. 
The X series would go down in history as the most unstable and ugly versions ever. 

I have always maintained installing 8.5 where I get the majority of my favourite VST’s from. Those have not changed since that time.  When you think about it that’s kinda weird! 
But I just love how cheerful it looks with all the different colours. 
 

Anyhow history is repeating itself and I guess if we hang around long enough they will fix it.

Sonar X3 Studio does have a Customization/Colors under preferences which shows a drop down that contains: Bricht, Dark, Mono, Normal.  However, when selecting any of the 4 options nothing changes.  As such i though there was a Themes folder where I could drop some themes.

I could write one but I'm not a DAW cop 😁

Oddly there was no Theme Editor for X3 but it shows up in the menu if TE is installed.

They can be subtle but you can also create your own and save them.
