Color schemes

Color schemes allow you to change the look of Sonar. Sonar includes several color schemes to choose from, and more will become available in the future. Choose one of the color schemes that best suits your preferences. You can further customize colors of various UI elements.

A color scheme only contains colors, and will not change Sonar features or behavior in any way. All UI elements retain their size and position when you switch color schemes.

Figure 44. Color schemes.

To select a color scheme

1.	Go to Edit > Preferences > Customization - Colors.

2.	Click the Color Scheme drop-down menu and select the desired color scheme.

3.	Click OK to close the Preferences dialog box.

Sonar dynamically applies the new color scheme.

 

Note: When switching color schemes, some UI elements may not refresh immediately until you create/open another project or restart the app.

 

Note: Custom themes created with previous versions of SONAR or Cakewalk by BandLab are not compatible with Cakewalk Sonar.

You can further customize colors by going to Edit > Preferences > Customization - Colors.
