[Avid-L2] Re: #$&%!! Interface Settings

I suspect part of this change was to clean up some old, bad code. I recall in the old settings, on Mac OS X, some of the shading options ended up with dimensional highlights looking corrupt on screen. Even so, there is still icon corruption. Quite a few folks have commented on the trim value icons being corrupt.

My biggest complaint right now is that light text on a dark background is only available on the lowest setting and that has a contrast ratio that's too high. If you want a medium gray BG, then your text is very hard to read. Font smoothing is also bad. Quality of UI text, especially when you change fonts and sizes is extremely poor on Mac compared to every other application.

They should take a look at Premiere Pro or Smoke or even the Magic Bullet apps for UI ideas. Right now if you want a dark UI, those are much better rendered on a Mac (probably PC, too) than MC5.
