SONAR Theme Editor

SONAR Theme Editor allows you to easily customize the look of SONAR by editing existing UI themes or creating your own UI themes. You can change colors directly and you can even customize images when used in combination with an external image editor such as Adobe Photoshop.

“The Tungsten theme is something that we are very proud of and we are even more proud of the tool that made it and are excited to see what our users will do with it next.”
