    Wish CS per Scene different color font or indication for on/off/last state.

    I agree that the display needs to be more easily deciphered, but using red and green, or indiscriminately chosen colors, is not an improvement either. The red and green above are like staring at Christmas tree lights because they glow, almost painfully. Changing the boldness of On vs. Off, not...

    Wish CS per Scene different color font or indication for on/off/last state.

    ...so similar to "On". Would it be possible to either color code, change font/italics, or something else entirely to visually highlight the state in this window? Maybe even have a different button? I understand that there are some here that are colorblind. Here are some crude mock up examples:

    Thank you for not relying on color. I’m only partially red-green colorblind and that is frustrating enough. I can’t imagine how it would be to not be able to see colors at all.

    Honestly, most of the time they probably don't. Green, yellow, red are pretty common options. Wow at least seems to have a colorblind mode but accessibility features like that are rare. It's a good point though, choose a color that would work for everyone. Or use some other indicator like a...

    No problem, I put the link to the thread just to share ideas. Colors of channels in editors would be a useful feature. It should be a checkbox in the preferences of the editor to enable/disable it, for the users that don't want it.

    Discovered today that PEQ knobs can accept modifiers, despite lack of little yellow circle in AxeEdit3

    Agreed.

Then we can at least see what has a modifier...
