Hi,I'm very pleased with having made the Upgrade from Vegas.M. Studio11, to this new Version V.M.Studio16, I have just lunched it this evening, and 'though I'm thrilled with the New Features it offers,I'm very "disappointed with the "New-Graphic Outlay", I personally find it a bit "ugly " and "awkward" to look at it and read it's Characters; the earlier Version Studio 11 was very pleasant to work with and easy to "identify it's Characters........I do hope MAGIX at some point ,may offer the "Option" of different Types of GUI to choose from, that would be a great help.................OscarL.

Are you using the basic or the Platinum version? If your main concern is the "Dark" Interface Type, Platinum offers the "Light" option in Preferences/Display, which is similar to "Vegas color scheme" in v.11 (Platinum at least). The basic VMS 16 does not have that option.

But if you don't now like the new icons/buttons, you may even get to like them after using them for some time. I know I did, but "your mileage may vary" of course. Btw, the changes were made in versions 14 and later, which now come from MAGIX, not Sony/SCS.

Hi vkmast, I'm using PLATINUM version and already tried both Luminosity-Settings,yes the Grey Shadow is Clearer,but I'm sorry to say that I still find those TOOLS Icons hard to Identify, specially if you only have few minutes of Editing, the Lettering also is not Clear enough,the Version Studio11 was Perfect in all aspects, you advice that I might get used to it but at the moment , all those Graphics and "odd Lettering" take too much of my Time, as we do not have an Immediate Solution to this situation, perhaps if the MAGIX designers hear about our Comments,they might in time ,find a solution.........thank you for time,and in the meantime lets enjoy and make the best of this Great Software,..........kind regards OscarL.
