thanks. I donā€™t want to criticise code-work, but I did see an example of how the on button used to beā€¦andā€¦why?? the PCef interface above is moreā€¦standard? it canā€™t actually be resized, but itā€™s more regular layout (less blank space more interface). I guess the coders want to create a sort of brand image? butā€¦brand image ā€˜less important thanā€™ a practical layout šŸ˜› if I was recommending an EQ program to someone, I wouldnā€™t say fx sound has a distinct layout, Iā€™d have to say ā€˜excuse the layout but it can be a useful programā€™ ā€œdohā€ just minor suggestionā€¦the dancing lights display is cool. butā€¦winamp (classic layout) has a sort of stack system where components (playlist/EQ etc) can be reduced to a bar. in fact there is another downside of the dancing lights layout above the EQ. if youā€™re watching a movie, you donā€™t want a distracting sine wave display, but you might want the sliders on hand. thereā€™s actually no way of displaying the app with the sliders but no dancing lights. just some random thoughts ---

ps. I donā€™t want to be too luddite. I know everything is getting skinned now (personally I hate it) but I grew up on 90ā€™s guiā€™s, where the interface looked like this (soundblaster mixer on Windows 98) as far as Iā€™m concerned this is what things can look like šŸ˜› ![soundblaster-mixer](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fxsound/original/2X/4/4b1b3f2a2d073e1e471261dd90cb0daff7ec78d4.jpeg) this is what my winamp looks like ![winamp](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fxsound/original/2X/5/593d0b1ff85881878432f15d0120b7517be18bd7.png) that winamp skin is from 2005 I think, Iā€™m still using it now ---

thank you - by the way another small suggestion standard interface has the two diagonal arrows for compact interface, and the x which sends it to the taskbar. could this x be a different symbol or something - x is usually close application, but the x actually sends it to the system tray, just slightly confusing as you think youā€™re going to be closing the app but it doesnā€™t, and also itā€™s hesitant to press the x, because if you do want to send it to the system tray, you need to click an icon that your brain tells you closes it šŸ™‚ in fact is it possible to have 3 symbols in the top rightā€¦one to change between standard/compact, one to send to taskbar and another one to actually close it. actually thatā€™s 4 iconsā€¦std/compact, minimise, system tray, close. at the moment unless Iā€™m not aware of it, the only way to close the app is to x to system tray, and then find the icon in the system tray, right click and then exit - a few mouse clicks ---

Point taken. As a daily user, Iā€™d argue that the added complexity of an extra button, would not be worth the gains. All programs have their own controls, buttons and settings with which users need to get acquainted, and FxSound is not the only Windows program that minimizes to tray with X instead of closing completely. ---

I guess. they are confusing as well šŸ™‚ x should actually x it, although I know often x doesnā€™t actually x it. I mean all youā€™d need, is the compact/regular icon (you could possibly argue that if there was less unused real estate space, you wouldnt need the compact view?), a diagonal arrow going to the bottom left for taskbar (minimize) a diagonal arrow going bottom right (for system tray) and the x. shrug winamp does it with a sort of ā€˜stack systemā€™ layout - the EQ and playlist windows for winamp are ā€˜collapsableā€™. maybe the dancing lights could have a ā€˜collapseā€™ icon (collapse/un collapse)which would result in the full view layout being halfway between normal and compact ![winamp2](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fxsound/original/2X/d/dcddfaba560e3cfe21438fb4ee67959c78c6cf3d.png) [Previous page](https://forum.fxsound.com/t/feature-request-plus-hiss-issue/3198.md?page=1)
