15 - e.g.
1) The panel no. 1 remove and integrate it into the main menu
2) time display no. 2 remove and keep it in the control bar
3) dividing line no. 3 and 4 are too thick (more slim nicer)
re: 1) "That ship has sailed". The X-series of SONAR simplified the main menu and moved related functions out of the menu and into the view window's "control strip". They aren't going to go backwards to SONAR 8 style.
That said, I didn't like that change either. But it is what it is.
re: 2) You know you can change units in each display? You can have bar:beat in one and minute:secs in the other. It's pretty useful.
re: 3) I think the reason the bar is thick is because it is actually two separator bars. The video strip or the navigator pane appears between the two bars, if you make them visible.
