Doesn’t HSC rely on color recognition to work?

Like DJX has said, there is a hack to load the classic theme, but by doing this
it makes many other features of Win 10 unuseable. At this moment in time, the
best way would be to settle on a new theme in Win 10 and amend any sets/scripts
accordingly. Tedious work, but possible I guess. Don’t have Win 10 here yet,
but a friend of mine has sonar/JSonar and HSC running OK, apart from colour
recognition. Best Steve.

While I was not as clear with respect to the nuts and bolts of the details as
you are, your answer is more in line with what I actually expected.

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.
