Hi

Just a wee nitpick for 2.0beta6 ...

When you show the sends, the new wee little "knob" which works and changes the colour bar on the send (nice touch there for a quick visual cue for the levels you have on your sends!) ...

Surely when the area is made bigger, there should not be loads of
unsed "knobs" all over the shop! Phantom knobs ... yeah!

I guess these are just placeholders, but they should not be visible unless there's a send associated with them ...

Go on Justin, zap 'em please ... or at least switch off their rendering flags so we don't have to see them!

well them being there help differentiate the sends from the inserts and they're grayed out, it's not like I was fooled into thinking they were sends I didn't put.
anyway it's up to the theme not justin

It's kinda up to the themer. Here's what I did for younsoft, for example:

I just have the background include the knob graphic. You can still see the knob, but it's just the "clock hand" black line that rotates, and you can see it dimmed within the empty slots.

You could just do away with the knob altogether, and then of course just use the background fill to visualize the level: just make "mcp_sendlist_knob.png" completely transparent.

so, my point is, we don't have complete control over this just yet, but here's a couple options.

Ok, so we can "theme them away"

Just that with the default theme it looks like this and I'm not sure it should ...
