I like where the redesign of the RB user interface seems to be going. Hope the trend continues. One feature I can't seem to locate is the old CPU usage meter. Is it still available?

Look to the top right of the Display to the "utilities" Bar where the CPU usage meter is situated.

Upper right side is where it was in RB 2013, along with the vu meter. With 2014 installed, vu meter is on lower right side, but the cpu usage meter is nowhere to be found. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere that allows the usage meter to be seen?

Tip Toe to the top right of the display. Move left through the "Help" Bar then Left again through the "Midi" Bar - Hah Hah: now look down to the next Bar which is the "Utilities" Bar and there is the CPU meter.

Have Fun.

I had the same problem (missing CPU usage meter) until I discovered why. If the main window, that is the main program window is reduced in size and repositioned in certain ways, a lot of the GUI goes off the screen on the right side. This is different than in previous versions (2013 and before). Personally, I don't like this. We've lost the ability to set things up in custom ways. Hopefully a new build will restore the ability to delete superfluous icons and enable the resizing/repositioning of the main window without the disappearance of wanted information.

Check to see if your main window is set to full size, then look for the CPU usage meter again.

Ok. Even at full screen it is not visible. In fact, I don't even have a "Help" area or a "Utilities" area showing at full screen. At this point I'm assuming that it has to do with screen resolution on my 6-year-old laptop (1280x800 max) not being adequate to handle the redesigned RB GUI. I wonder if PG would be able to address this issue, possibly by offering some user customization of the GUI?
