Re: [Avid-L2] I will pay Frank Capria to bring back the Interface settings

1- Now I don't fell like such a cry-baby, as I may have been one of the first whiners on this topic. I'm pleased that it it being worked-on and fixed in the future. And just to reiterate: please return *all* of the color customizations (and I do like that you allowed for bin highlight color customization, so keep that!).

2- May I suggest that Avid have a little fun and in the Composer Settings, allow users to change the new Splice/Overwrite icons to the "classic" versions? Personally, I do like the new icons and feel that they make perfect sense in the scheme of things. But it would be a nice touch for those that would like it, and it would lend a little lighthearted personality to the system that I think would have a positive effect.

Cheers,

B
