Edit: Ooh, there’s drag-and drop rearranging of effects on the track header! If possible, pop-up help should close as soon as you start to click-drag an effect track, otherwise you can’t see where you’re dropping it.

That’s fixed in beta7, which is now uploaded. Also the dragging up/down is modified slightly.

And something a little off-topic. I recently wiped the dust off an old laptop computer; it has a native screen resolution of 1400×1050… on a measly 14″ screen. 🙄
Text in Podium is awfully small that way, and changing DPI settings in Windows doesn’t help. This is no request – I’m just curious – have you ever thought about changing Podium’s font for a heavier one, or using the system’s font?

I am keeping in mind that, at some point I need to provide an overall size scale setting for the UI elements. Personally I’m excited about the new multi-touch capability of Windows 7. My next PC purchase will support some kind of multi-touch, either as a laptop/tablet, or using a standalone multi-touch monitor. In the wake of the Windows 7 release, there are a lot of new devices coming out that supports multi-touch.

So to be able to comfortably work with finger touching, I’m going to implement an overall “finger size” setting in Podium, which will adjust the size of all buttons. That way the user can easily adjust to whatever screen DPI is used with the touch interface. That is one of the reasons why I’m substituting the old flat group panel with the new resizable button style.
