not a very important thing: a nicer looking GUI

I think this is not a thing with a high priority and I don't want to push into a 'eye candy' direction, but I feel increasing bored by the GUI. Not by the GUI concept and I also like the minimalistic approach, I don't want pseudo realistic skins for the compressor or something like that.

I think the GUI could do much more for a better and faster overview and a bit more elegant wouldn't harm too (I literally hate the automation lines, it's to bulky, but that's just a personal thing

)

hmm?

Live's UI is one of my favorite parts of the program.

I like the automation lanes myself, unless, of course, I add one to a group track and now it's cluttering everything up as the lane doesn't get folded into the closed folder with the tracks

I have always despised Live's GUI. Terrible. It looks like it was done by graphic art students armed with markers and stencils. I would love some eye candy.

regarding automation lines, take a look at logics. I really like them. Imho in live they are a bit too bulky when you have many automation points (aka the 'red circles')

Has anyone played with 8.1.3? Is it me or did they clean up the UI a bit (not to the degree that Mr.E was looking for...)?

I hate those "photorealistic" skins. Why should softwared look like hardware?

OOh that would be soo helpful. Live really doesn't give out any values currently...

I like the Gui.

Keep it pls.

()I dont think they are going to change it)

I think it looks classic.

In the same way that the ariel font is. . .

The GUI is fine IMO, it would just be nice if we could choose what exact fonts are used.

Dina 8pt, kthx.

Live's gui is an island of sanity in a sea of gui madness

I look at most other products and my eyes are assulted by psuedo-3d, graduated fills, shiny effects
