Vegas Pro 14 – Is the Toolbar still in Black and White?

[Francois Blawat] “Just give US the users the choice to pick how WE like to work, not how the programmer(s) think we should work.”

This is the key sentence!
I cannot be more agreed.

I also do not like the icons all black, give me a choice. I rather have then look good in color.

Signed up to CC just to post here (although im sure I joined before 10 years ago..).

Just finally upgraded to 14 after being user since v5.

First thing i did was think SOMETHING’S WRONG! Prefs/uncheck use vegas color scheme–restart app..looks even more s***.
cp/system/advanced/turn off windows best performance turn on best looks
reload v14..still looks s*** in BW.

am SURE I must be doing something wrong for it to look so bad and unusable for me (using sony 4k tv as monitor the buttons are now indistinguishable from each other without squinting)

go online see what I am doing wrong.

find this thread

jaw drops when reads its DEFAULT and cant change it to a usable, comfortable, pro (ie functional-workflow-esque) look

Add me to any street protest or flash mob to persuade matrix to develop some advanced never-before-heard-of patch that enables users to customize their color scheme to how they want (has it ever been done before? ground breaking for sure!)
Add install button option to v14 such as :
“have you been using Sony Vegas for the last 10 years and are very comfortable with the color scheme and workflow”?
press NO to change to something completely different you will HAVE to get used to cos we aint changin’ it for no-one
or press YES to combine your decade of experience and comfort with our new software features for the optimal combo!.”

Hey guys,

I just registered to CC too because of this topic.
As a Vegas 12 Pro user I really wanted to upgrade to v14. The version is faster and the added value of plugins for the suite is great – but the black undistinguishable toolbar icons prevent me from that, what a bummer in my workflow.

If there is any poll or up/downvote for this, lead me to this way.
Thank you!

Mark me down as another user who does NOT like the new look. There were changes requested to the colour icons to make them stand out better. I don’t remember anyone asking for black and white. Sorry but IMO it looks ugly ☹

Thought i’d save some typing????

I just checked in v12 and v14 and changed the toolbar PNG resource with Resource Hacker.
Unfortunately Vegas did not start due to license issues, seems the .exe is checksum validated ☹

Look here, it could be so easy guys:
