Yes, it’s very nice. As are a couple other themes (RADO is another one I’m using).

The problem is that it has zero hope of ever becoming “resolution independent” across Retina (and PC equivalents).

Not a big issue now for most of us, but it already affects Apple / Retina laptop users.

I’m glad to see Cubase taking these future-proofing steps toward a true, scalable, razor-sharp, resolution independent UI, but there are tradeoffs: growing pains.

A lot of the complaints about font sizes and clarity are likely a causality on a larger battle Steinberg is waging for us, behind the curtain.

I know it’s not an easy battle for them, as they used to be king of the pixel-perfect font thing (one of the reasons I gravitated toward earlier versions) – so their designers definitely “get it.”

Having the pixel-perfect, almost photo-realistic look and having resolution independence is really hard problem to solve.
