I´m far to much of an addict to this great GUI.
Don't worry. He's working on them. He's working day and night, trying to accommodate us. He's cracking the code as we speak! Ok, he may already have the code cracked. He's working on the bundles of the themes. They'll be much easier to install, but they require some "porting" over to the new system. Actually, I'm sitting here just ad-libbing on some things he told me in a recent email, but I'd guess you'll see at least some of the more popular bundles released fairly soon, maybe this week. Andy? Can you come up for air and tell us how things are going?
In any case…

Loaded 7.2 Monday evening... big session yesterday and today. Seems to work fine on my G5. I do like the themes. Had a quick look at the contextual menus.
... and the session? Had Ric Parnell from Spinal Tap, Atomic Rooster, etc over to add drums to 10 new songs. No, he didn't explode. He just played like nobody's business.

It is still an issue with a second monitor, since the first monitor is completely taken up with the consolidated window. When you put your mixing board on the second monitor, together with your chunks and clipping windows (and whatever other palettes you want readily available) you still have no place to put a plugin where it isn't going to immediately be buried by something.
I run into that also Zed, I some times think it would be nice to get one more video card and run 4 of them.
One extra for the guitar amp.
