I apologize for not being very scientific in my methods earlier.
We're very pleased you're sticking with us through this. We can deal with non-scientific users <g>. Every time somebody reads what's happening to them we get a little closer to solving it so nobody ever has to know what a "buffer" is.

Thank you again.

I don't think it will be "fixed" because you might be complaining about a deliberate redesign.

Is what you don't like the numbers on the meters?

If so, you can undock the meter by dragging the serrated edge on the left, then drag the meter downwards (at bottom right) until it's the standard height it was in 2.0.6. That will make the numbers appear under the meter bars.

If you have space in the upper dock area you can then drag the standard height meter back into the upper dock.

If you want to discuss this in detail (now or later) please start another topic about it.

Yes, it was partly the numbers colliding with the bar line that I didn't care for, though somehow your version looks a bit cleaner than what I remember. My initial impression was that I was seeing a programmer's first draft, not the final product, which enhanced the "alpha-ness" of it. I'll download it again and give it another look and if I see a difference I'll describe it in a new topic.

Well, it certainly wouldn't be the first time THAT's happened. I'm still pining for my old iPhone iOS 6!
