Allow me some constructive criticism…
I’ve tested only Linux x64 version, so don’t know if others are affected (but assume that yes).
It would be really cool to see bugfix release soon
P.S. Note that i’ve checked all 667 icons and absolute most of other ones not mentioned here are 100% perfectly done, my criticism comes only from deepest love & personal connection for Renoise and it’s design
P.P.S. Also there’s places where i write Too thin weight? mainly for 1.5x size - that’s i’m not 100% sure, it’s hard to judge outside of context for different displays, but worth to note.
Small things
-
Installer script has mime associations only for songs, unlike Windows which have all those new types like instruments, presets, FX chains etc
-
Readme.txt have no history anymore
I think that was handy to have offline sometimes.
Call me old-school!

Pattern font / spacing
Show details
-
Just wanted to point that spacing has much more breathing room than 3.1 (In fact as you can see H-Spacing = 1 / V-Spacing = 2 now almost equal to H-Spacing = 0 / V-Spacing = 1), which is fine (i imagine it’s good to 4k+ screens, and you still can dial it back)
-
Personally i really dig bold font at 3.1, it drives my mojo, again i imagine probably lighter font was deliberately picked for 4k+ screens, but i would love to get an ability to choose bold variant like on 3.1.
Renoise 3.1.1 (H-Spacing = 1 / V-Spacing = 2) |
Renoise 3.2 (H-Spacing = 1 / V-Spacing = 2) |
Renoise 3.2 (H-Spacing = 0 / V-Spacing = 1) |

Installer script links 48x48 icon. which is pretty small for modern DEs, especially on 4k (i think now Linux can safely use either 256x256+ or even svg)
High dpi scaling

Splash screen is still 1x scale
-
Mouse cursor is still 1x scale
