Sonar Theme Editor Early Access is here!

I trust our dedicated .STH lords will give it a thorough assessment.

So far the biggest issues I have with it are that there is STILL no way to set the color of beat and measure grid lines 🤬 and that too many of the element colors are tied to other disparate elements. That is, when you change one element, it affects something in a completely different area of the UI, and not necessarily something that you wanted to have match.

Each view should have it's own customization w/o affecting other views.  It became an issue with X series because it was never meant to be user customized.  I was hoping it would be fixed with the all new UI venture.

I agree. It's just not granular enough.

I'd like to see a set of palettes for each of the major views. The categories it has now are actually a good start, it's just that they affect unrelated elements.

Please, folks, hit this as hard as you can, because once it's actually released, any changes will likely break previous custom themes. The devs won't want to do that. I think it will be different from the Theme Editor of old, this one is created by the developers themselves and they'll be using it to create the factory themes.

Have you guys found a way to change the color of the NOW Time in the Transport Module Display? It seems to be staying the same in all Themes.

The Old Dude's Guide To Color Themes says that Surface 2 foreground sets the color of the Now Time cursor line.

Surface 2 is the biggest example of a palette that needs to have its functions split up, IMO. It controls too many disparate elements.

But what does the Old Dudes Guide say about the Now Time Display? Not the cursor line.

You know,  the numbers in the Transport module part of the Control Bar.

TODG has determined that as of now, there's no known way to change the color of the Transport readout numerals. The only solution is to use a lighter color for the window background, which is set by Overrides/Transport Module/Display/Background. Foreground only sets the color for the smaller ones in the row at the bottom of the window.
