Re: [Avid-L2] [FR] - Feature Request - RT vs Non-RT dots and I/O marks

I think that monitors and screens are getting higher and higher resolutions (your example is a good one). We can change the font size in the Project window, bins, timeline etc but the dialogue boxes etc have very small text sizes and also, with the available preset Interface settings, some of the checkboxes are very hard to see. Is it checked or unchecked? I suspect, as others have said that the mac version is a hard port from Windows with no thought for the Mac OS appearance. I like the narrow top bars to the windows but some text information just doesn't fit in the space available on the mac (I know that contradicts what I've said about text size).

Some of the text looks blurred, too. We need global font size adjustment (maybe in the Interface settings). We are already offered larger text in the Effect Editor setting - that needs to be pushed out over the entire UI.

I fired up MC6 on a Mac Pro today with an old 1280x1024 monitor and the icons etc were OK. OTOH my home iMac has a screen res of 2560x1440. Some consideration of these differences would be appreciated.

Many (many) years ago I spent a few days on DS version 2 and the icons were miniscule. Is this the trend for MC now too? Speaking of which, is anyone else having difficulty discerning and/or seeing I/O marks as well (e.g. in the TC track)? I like the new look, but wish they were chunkier so they'd be easier to see and also to tell the Ins from the Outs.
