Wish they would program it out.

Does it cover the entire chord display area before the chords show? If so, then that is just part of the software initialization processes. If it looks more like a smaller hint, then these are my hint settings, if that helps: Attached Files (Click to download or enlarge) (Only available when you are logged in) 2015-05-20_21-40-35.jpg (76.08 KB, 114 downloads) BIAB & RB2025 Win.(Audiophile), Sonar Platinum, Cakewalk by Bandlab, Izotope Prod.Bundle, Roland RD-1000, Synthogy Ivory, Kontakt, Focusrite 18i20, KetronSD2, NS40M Monitors, Pioneer Active Monitors, AKG K271 Studio H'phones

Anyway, since this is the Wishlist, my suggestion would be to see what the yellow message said and deal with it, rather than eliminate it. Music lover, I don't see that yellow box on startup either. If you are correct and this is just some graphics anomaly from the earlier GUI, then it might help to know how fast your computer is. BIAB 2025 Win Audiophile.

OP musiclover Veteran Joined: Aug 2009 Posts: 3,028 Derry,Ireland	Thanks for replies Guys, as I say it's no big deal and chord area goes to the default white after the yellow display for a split second, to prove that I'm not seeing ghosts captured it with print screen. I know Trevor says it is just part of the software initialization processes. I wouldn't have thought so though as old GUI was this colour and for some reason I feel it isn't programmed out completely. Probably nit picking here but would still like to get rid of it. I have a quad core amd cpu with 4 gb ram computer five years old last February.

OP musiclover Veteran Joined: Aug 2009 Posts: 3,028 Derry,Ireland	Thanks Matt but no I haven't. At biab startup it just shows that yellow chord area screen for probably less than a second before reverting to the correct default white chord area. As I say not a big deal at all but often wondered whether its a throwback to the old GUI or maybe happens to others too but its only me that noticed it.

All I see on my system is a blip; there's not enough time to see a color change. But it is there. It's probably fast on my system because I run BIAB from an SSD. BIAB 2025 Win Audiophile.

I would like to see an ability to see/ pin messages, and have this as a settable option in a reworked preferences dialogue. Also remove the option from the help menu. De clutter. If each message was pinnable/ able to become invisible, the user could decide. Win 11 64, Asus Rog Strix z390 mobo, 64 gig RAM, 8700k

Once BIAB has been started before, the change of the input mask image is reduced to just a flicker. I'm sure, an SSD helps a lot to obscure such behavior since loading time is greatly reduced and the processors do not have to wait that long. I will have an SSD soon, probably two...
