Not sure what impact any OS should have on this issue -> it's all a matter of screen resolution. On a Win 7 system here with a 1366x786 notebook about half of the screen real estate is occupied by toolbars, mixer and stuff. On bigger screens it's less of course. The bigger the screen the better it looks.


Poorly worded, what I was trying to say is that, along with the larger screensizes and bigger resolution capabilities of the more recently made laptops - which were made to ship with newer OS's, comes the ability desired here. The older laptops that shipped predominantly with XP, for the most part also shipped at a time when the 14" screen was the big hooptydoo.

PG representatives promised work in progress with respect to swapping toolbars and customzing the ordering of buttons.


Yes indeed.

No promises as of now with respect to providing more real estate for the chord chart window in case of smaller notebook screens, say. No promise as of yet to make the mixer optional in order to free space for shifting toolbars e.g. or to provide an option to go with the old UI style.

Guess we just need to see what options PG will eventually be providing.


Some of us are merely passing on info learned during the Beta, not just what has been posted on these forums.

I'm sure that PG will provide what they reasonably can, and judging by the posts about this particular issue, are going to do the best they can to provide solutions.


And, as we have seen many times in the history of it, the PG solution might just go in directions that are not predictable, or, at the least, quite innovative.


Meanwhile, I'm just Having Lots of Fun with BB these days anyway.
