I don't have a Windows 10 machine. But I am hoping that somebody who does will
actually try this and let us know for sure whether this can work or not. It
certainly would be a godsend if it could work.

Hi Kevin, having done some research on this, I was under the impression that
after windows 8 there can’t be any authentic classic theme, because Microsoft
actually removed the classic engine. There are some hacks to enable it, but
they crash allot of the modern apps and basic windows applications like
Explorer. The other choice when using a similar scheme that resembles the
colors is to use the high contrast engine, however this is not a “true”
classic theme with all the components of the original, so not sure if
CakeTalking or HsC would work properly under such conditions. From what I
read not all the colors are the same either.
I’m assuming that DD has tested it’s products under Windows 8/8.1/10, and
they haven’t found a working solution that works without any hacks or
crashes, which is why they don’t support use under these OS’s.
This is the info I’ve found on the web about this, and haven’t had time to
test theroughly myself due to lack of time. However I don’t think copying the
theme file is enough if Microsoft has in fact removed the classic theme
engine.
HTH, D!J!X!

Has anyone actually done that? That is, has anyone actually imported the
windows classic theme from XP or Windows 7 to windows 10? Can that actually
be done? If it's possible, I'm surprised no one has tried it yet.

That problem of not having windows classic in windows 10, can easily be fix.
Secondly, the correct demensions for Sonar producer8.5 and CakeTalk 8.8 Do
not exist in windows 10. This is true!!!
However, can be fix: Solution is simple,
1. Go to your old window and copy the classic theme and transfer it to
windows 10.
note:
make sure you place it in the correct folder and yourSonar producer 8.5 and
CakeTalk 8.8 will run just as windows 7.
Have a nice day recording everyone!!! Bless.

Thanks for your insights, Phil. I knew that there was a lot that has to
happen to make accessibility possible, especially in Superior Drummer 2. What
you've done there is remarkable; and I'm sure you'd like to make more of the
features accessible as well - especially the parameters for adjusting things
like envelopes and so forth on the drums. I don't know if that's even
possible at this point; but you've done a great job with what you're able to
do with it now.
Mike

Sonar 8.5.3 runs well under Windows 10. Cake Talking will run however, there
will be issues with colour detection as there is no classic theme in Windows
10.
I also want to thank David Pinto for developing Cake Talking and in
particular Bill and others like George for actively encouraging Cake Talking
development. It's still one of the very best available accessible solutions
for using multitrack audio and MIDI software on the planet.
