personally, I think the main point of the video gives one a quick sense of what can be done... but not really a complete suggestion of how 'you' might want to set things up...

to get to that, IMO, I'd suggest one spend a day of experimenting.

well maybe just a few hours until you get it...

when you do 'get it'... then you can have many various views saved as screen sets and switch between them very fast. Like put an icon for the action to call up the screenset window right in the main toolbar...

I'd show you how I set it up for my large dual monitors but it might not work at all for your own monitor[s] or system.

Just for example... I like to float the Master at the far left, and use the mixer docked to the left of tcp traks as a track inspector, and keep other things like performance meter docked at the far right...

then have another screen set of just the mixer...
and a few other screensets as well...

I have all 8 floating toolbars, the navigation window and the transport bar up above the tcp...
I have 4 floating TB's for the midi editor...
I use tons of personally made toolbar icons but that's just me... one can certainly use the ones that come with reaper very nicely.
Or can use single and double wide text icons... very nicely

Reaper has such tremendous power and flexibility in how it can be made to look and work... no other DAW I know about can even come close to reaper in this regard.

So to me, if you don't learn it and use it, you are seriously missing the whole point of what reaper is!
