@Johnny!
Noby said it in the other thread. You can’t be putting buttons you want to be clicking in the middle. Ie. “Central elements like these that you need to access continuously and usually with as little trouble as possible, should be positioned at edges of the screen (or corners, better yet) for easier and quicker access.”, and I agree with him. You have to determine what people are always clicking VS. what people are rarely clicking and position (or hide) accordingly. Also, resolution doesn’t work with your example? My Laptop is 1366 where as your screenshot is 1920. Yes I have a second monitor but what about composing on a train? Or worse a netbook? And what if Renoise-dev wants to add more tabs in the future? Your screenshot will not degrade gracefully.
@ Renoise-Dev
Don’t get me wrong I think what Renoise 3.0 brings to the table VS 2.8 is an improvement. That said, there are still tweaks that need to be done IMHO. The most important thing to take away is the idea of vertical space. That every line in the tracker speadsheet interface counts; even the empty ones - because they represent a measurable pause in between notes (so this information is valuable!) vs something like BPM 174. Why do you need to see this 100% the time? You set this once? Or weird empty slots that sit there taking space “waiting” for something to happen that could be hidden until the user really needs them.
Cheers.
