And just so you get a feel for where a lot of us started go up to STYLES/Choose from 24 built in styles & choose one. That should get you what you want in a hurry.
To be a little more serious here. I think those of us that grew with the company over the many years are fairly comfortable using most of the features. For a new person the program id probably daunting. Remember PGMusic is not a company on the magnitude of Sony or Adobe when it comes to resources but they are light years ahead of both when it comes to vision. I would not want to see either of these things happen in order to bring the GUI into the 21st century:
1. Sell to one of the big boys
2. Shut down the operation for two years while they rebuild things.

I'll take her just the way she is thank you.

Eddie I think you somewhat suffer from what we older folks do. Loss of identity. You continue to self affirm your worthiness as a computer geek by downing the program. If you have constructive ideas post them on the wish list. If you have questions on how to do something post them.
