Thanks for your initial posting and getting a lot of insightful replies.
Always good to get all these different opinions out there for PG to consider.




You're welcome. I, too, want to get the ideas in front of PGMusic. While I don't subscribe to the 'needs a total redesign' school I think the GUI could stand a few tweaks.

And me. I may very well change my color scheme now I know the option is there.

Yep. That's why I asked for a definition of 'modern'. I don't think there is such a thing because it IS subjective. However, trying to put ones definition of 'modern' into words does serve to highlight what the perceptions are. I'll try to summarize my thoughts and observations into a separate post later.

I totally agree that functionality , the musical meat and potatoes, should be the prime goal and with each new release PG gets a little closer to perfection.




This may be the most important statement here. When long time users, such as myself, get a little testy about the 'complete redesign' calls it's because of the risk that form will be placed over function. As long as the band (BiaB) is always ready to jam with me on bass I don't care whether they're well dressed. hahaha
