The Colors section lets you customize colors of various screen elements.
The Colors section contains the following settings:
You can create lots of different color schemes and save each one as a preset. After you create a color scheme that you like, type a name for it in the Presets window, and then click the floppy disk icon to save the preset. When you want to load the preset, just select it in the Presets window. To delete a preset, select it and then click the
Delete button
.
The Colors section has the following fields:
This list shows different areas where color can be adjusted. Choosing one of these categories helps filter out screen elements you may not want to deal with at the moment. The categories also provide a convenient way to adjust brightness, hue, and saturation of a related collection of screen elements without hunting through a long list.
This list shows all the items in SONAR you can set the color of. Highlight the one you want to change. You can change multiple Elements simultaneously by CTRL-clicking or CTRL-dragging. Click
Select All to select all screen elements in the current color category.
This field lets you choose the same color for a highlighted item in the Screen Element list that Microsoft Windows uses for certain screen elements. For example, because Windows usually uses black for button text, if you highlight Window Background in the
Screen Element list and then click
Button Text in the
Follow System Color field, all the window backgrounds in SONAR turn black (or whatever color you have set up for button text in your Windows preferences).
Choosing this option instead of the Follow System Color option allows you to pick a specific color for the highlighted item in the
Screen Element list. Click the
Choose Color button to open the
Color dialog box, click the color you want, and click
OK. The highlighted item in the Screen Element list changes to the color you chose.
Pressing the Reset button resets the
Brightness,
Hue, and
Saturation sliders to default values.
This button opens the Import Color Set dialog box, which allows you to import a color arrangement, or a group of presets.
This button opens the Export Color Set dialog box, which allows you to export a color arrangement, or a group of presets.
