Could you give a reason why you separated the color strips from the tracks like this? In my opinion, it just makes it seem like they don’t belong together. Besides, the rounded corners on mini-mixer strips make me think of towers in Islamic architecture. 😉 Also, it looks, um, weird now when you don’t use vertical meters on track headers.
In the latest beta, the 1-pixel gap between the group bar and the header is toned down. In 2.35 and previous releases, the separation between the two was made by painting a 1-pixel drop shadow on top of the left side focus frame. What I didn’t like about that was that the left side of the the frame did not appear identical to the right side. The problem became more apparent with the new 1-pixel rounded corner.
– Are you going to switch to using rounded corners on most other interface elements, too? Just my opinion, but mixing the two (or even three) styles doesn’t go very well. Also, what about scrollbars?
In this case I assume you mean the 1-pixel rounded corner, and not the adjustable button roundness. I intend to make most other clickable areas use the 1-pixel rounded corners. What about the scrollbars?
– Why did you decide to keep button and scrollbar size separate? It would seem natural that they’d be resized together.
Some users, myself included, always use mouse shortcuts for zooming and scrolling, and so the scrolbars only serve as visual indicators. In that case it’s nice to keep them smaller than regular buttons. On a touchscreen interface it may be more relevant to increase the scrollbar size so that they are the same clickable size as buttons.
