I've noticed that but really haven't paid it any mind since I rarely work at the top of the GUI anyway.

On the flip side.... most DAW's do have a "minimize track size" function of some sort to save space or allow more to show on the screen..... although, most of those default to full size and you must intentionally select the smaller size track by track.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
