    Hi Robert -
    Thanks for the very detailed feedback, this is what I was hoping for
    when I wrote the original email. Its extremely helpful because I didnt
    know your point of view on most of these aspects. (For example, I
    thought that you were in favor of the multi-window setup...because why
    would the design team make many little windows when the customer wanted
    a single window?) It seems you have been sharing your point of view for
    a while, but it was never recorded anywhere for us new people to look
    at. Because of this, I have copied your comments into the wiki page on
    this topic:

    Yes, I didnt expect that all of my ideas would be correct...I have only
    recently joined the project and dont know why a lot of things were done.
    I just noticed that Campcaster was quite difficult for me to use, so I
    figured out which actions I really wanted to accomplish when using it,
    and designed an interface around that. Since I am not a DJ, its likely
    that some of my assumptions may not be correct. I just wanted to get
    some feedback on those ideas.

    Usually you use multiple monitors for multiple applications, not one
    application on multiple monitors. Multiple monitors allow you to see
    and use multiple applications at once.

  • i actually really like the palettes. photoshop, gimp, winamp. and given
    the fact that visiting independent radio stations on a low budget made me
    see more than one *winamp* station, i guess it is an easy transition

    Well, not necessarily. Usually, using that configuration, toolbars are
    positioned on one monitor and "main area" is maximized on the second monitor
    (for example, in GIMP or some other graphic software; but the same could be
    applied to CC).
