FX Bypass Icon on Preview Toolbar?

Grazie wrote on 9/9/2017, 11:02 PM

Anybody been caught by the design between FX Bypass OFF and ON? I have, several infuriating times now!

Bypass OFF:

Bypass ON:

Here's the barely visible "difference" issue:

Those skinny, waif-like black 4 pixie-wide, size-0 columns. At my edit distance and 32" screen they are almost indistinguishable from the background. How about when BY-pass is ON it shows up a sickly LIME-GREEN?

Has anybody brought this up before?

You're welcome 😊.

OK now you have it in your User CROSSHAIRS, do explore it further, as you can ByPass half of the Preview Screen, Copy a selection from elsewhere and use THAT as a colour correction comparator and also Drag a selection on the Preview Screen and use that as a comparator.

Its a great tool!

I sympathize as my eyes aren't what they were😬. But haven't we always been able to do this, or something very close to it, in the Preview window for ages?

Yes, nothing new. My comment was directed to all new users.

I find that almost all the buttons are indistinguishable between ON and OFF state, especially in the dark setting. I would most certainly support replacing the black with a lime green or yellow for the ON state.

I've always had trouble distinguishing some of these toggles. Usually just look at the preview screen and click on/off a few times to see that it is in the desired state.

By the way... is there a "suggestion box" link here somewhere so things like your (excellent) suggestion get recorded?

Glad you like my idea. I like your suggestion box too. What would be good would be for MAGIX/Madison to have a Internet Focus Group for this level of GUI front end. Come on Gary, embrace the Love ❤️!
