How to increase quickview timeline width?

Post by blueprint » Sun Mar 07, 2010 4:56 pm

You know the thinner, quickview timeline at the top of either view (arrangement or session), how do I increase the vertical width of it?

it's like 1/4 of an inch on my screen right now.

16 tracks isn't enough to widen it to a better vertical width so I need other options.

I have a small laptop so it does contribute to how annoying it gets to zoom in to certain areas.

Play with the display zoom setting in Look/Feel Preferences?

I don't have that option in Live 7's Look/Feel section of the preferences.

what about using brighter clip colors?

I've never found it useful to begin with. it's an idea of what arrange view is doing but as point out, it's too small to get information from.

True. It is a Live 8 feature.

if you're in windows you can set up the 'magnifier' app I guess..
it's built in.. and actually is pretty sweet !


next suggestion would be this :
