More new features wanted

Hardly major enough to be 'features'- more 'tweaks'. I thought of this in the middle of the night a few nights ago (I know, I need a life), and didn't write it down, so have been racking my brain trying to remeber what is was .

1 - Recording indicator. With my setup, sometimes the tracks are not written to screen in real-time (caused by necessary very low buffer setting on my MOTU driver I think). So I hit record, and there may be nothing to indicate anything happening other than a moving timeline cursor.

How about flashing the otherwise 'always grey' record button, as in SForge ? And why is that button always grey - shouldn't it be reddish ? Colour can be a quick way to enhance the visibily of many common function keys. Play = green >, etc.

2 - Also, how about optionally bigger toolbar icons (maybe 3 sizes), with a bit more colour on the unselected icons (half-bright colour instead of just grey) for easy recognition when cramming as many tracks on a screen (ie 1280 x 1042 on a 17 incher makes the toolbar icons pretty tiny). But not as if a rainbow had vomited on it like Cubase.

.... and just thought of ....

3 - View | Minimize All Tracks enhanced to "All Track Size 1,2,3,4 " reflecting the different meter, vol, pan , efx levels of 'compaction' of the channel 'strip'.
