I tend to mainly still use Sonar due to the scripts our dear Steve has
made :) As well as other HSC sets and scripts that depend on Sonar to
work. No matter how you turn the wheel, it's still true that currently
if you want to use virtual instruments like the orange tree samples
stuff you're pretty much stuck with Sonar. I'm guessing the stuff Phil
did for Superior is also Sonar-based. Kontakt is also best supported
in SOnar, although some autoHotkey scripts exist that work with I
believe the standalone version as well. I'd love to use Reaper full
time, but I'd lose too many of my preferred tools. As for what theme
to use in win10, I guess either the standard or high-contrast theme
would be best. My preference would go for standard because thats what
comes by default, but I have no idea how suitable that theme is for
color detection.

perhaps a crowd-funding campaign? People were able to more than fund
development of NVDA Remote recently, raising some ten grand or so.

Thanks for that.

I should clarify my statement about it being a total Microsoft issue. What
I mean is that since the OS has to change to accommodate things like
tablets and the like, it seems that there's this constant burden that
third-party developers have to scramble to make their products work under
the new OS; which is fine, as long as there's some sort of mechanism in
place that can help them do just that. Not everybody has the massive
resources that Microsoft and Apple have to do it; consequently they're
constantly behind in having to catch up with the latest and greatest. It
takes a lot of money and resources paying programmers decent wages, etc.

I don't know what a fair and viable solution is; and though I understand
the need to keep up with the technology, I agree with you that right now
we have a system in place that works quite well, and it's pretty darn
stable.

Microsoft is not at fault here; honestly in order to make most of the UI
improvements they have, they had to ditch the old engine and start with a
new one, especially for using apps. Just like what they had to do with the
start menu, taskbar, notification/tray, menu bars which are mostly ribbons
now, and many other core windows functions. Anyone who’s tried windows
8 and above knows how different things are from windows 7 and before.
They’d assume the screen readers and other technologies would make
whatever changes to keep up to date with their OS.
