BobXX Posted Sunday at 10:22 AM Share Posted Sunday at 10:22 AM (edited) When first installed, Sonar starts with this default user interface / color scheme: If we compare with one of the 2 main old CBB/Platinum interface (Mercury): we can notice that the new default interface doesn't show buttons borders (only their labels), knobs are barely visible, without enough contrast from objects and background 🤐. Changing the color scheme with "light" and all the others (except one) all these problems remains the same. Almost all UI colour schemes have the same problems: the interface is difficult to read and very tiring. By patiently trying all the combinations one by one, I've found the only one... that solves the problems and save us... 😌, getting the following interface, less 3D, but with a good readability: If you agree, it's the "Mercury Classic": very similar the old CBB / Platinum "Mercury", without 3D shades**, but maintaining a good readability. Strangely, the "Tungsten Classic" (equivalent of legacy "Tungsten") doesn't do the same. ** why less 3D ? Because the new UI is vector based, not bitmap based. This allows the UI to have new option to scale it from little to very big monitors, maintaining the highest graphical quality. If you like it, just go in the Preferences / Customisation / Colors settings, and simply set "Mercury Classic", then "Apply" and "OK: Enjoy.

Sailor55 Posted Sunday at 03:21 PM Share Posted Sunday at 03:21 PM I couldn't agree more. For me, Mercury Classic is the best by far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmp Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago I'm surprised this issue still hasn't been addressed. Even if we were able to use some parts of some Color Schemes and parts of others, that would pretty much solve 90% of my issues. Some Color Schemes are ok with some areas and other ones are better in other areas. We really need a Theme Editor like we had with Platinum and CbB. After using Sonar exclusively for more than a month, I went back to CbB, so far the activation problem hasn't kicked me off CbB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Nicholls Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago We have been told that color customization options are "coming soon". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
