- Open Scaler1 and 2
- Compare them.

Result:  
In Scaler1 everything is great to read, the size was well fitting to the size of all elements.

In Scaler2 it’s a mix of too small font and normal font size.

- The top bar with the detected chords for example is hard to read.
- The ‘Preferences’, that are often needed now are also very small. It was a lot better in Scaler1.
- And when I make the window size bigger that the smaller fonts are good to read, all elements are way too big.

Seems more like a downgrade to me unfortunately.

My pleasure. The new features in Scaler 2 are awesome for the most part, but the look and partly the usability is a step back when I’m honest. I will keep you busy with some hopefully constructive posts in this matter. 🙂

@luapmartin Just a side note. Why not using a bit more space and make the top bar bigger like in Scaler 1? Some parts in Scaler 2 looks like you wanted to safe screen space too radical. Why not using some more pixel screen space but make it easier to use this way?
