on onPC, the default is 7 viewbuttons on the view bar. If you make the scale .75x, you can get 10 (like your screen shows). I assumed the default on the console was the 1x scale, so I set up all my views with this scale, meaning I only have 7 viewbuttons in the view bar. But, your clip with the console shows 10 viewbuttons on the view bar. Is that the default for the console? And therefore it does make sense to build out views using the .75x scale on onPC?

Hi! thank you for all the videos regarding the grandma3. They are very helpful :) I have one question - do you know how to change the size/view of sequence list in playback controls? These fields are too small and tottaly unreadable. Is there any idea, how to change it?

[@consoletrainer]

Are you using onPC (not a console)? I don't know of a way to change the font size for *just* the playback controls. If you're using onPC, you can change the scale in the Display Config: but going up will make everything in that window larger, not just playback controls.

@@consoletrainer I have a command wing+onPC. Last time we had a problem - we used MA3 during a small festival. The lighting engineer came with the band and he couldn't completely read these small letters.

@@mateuszsieniawski2358 I would change the scale of all the windows, then. If you want MA to change this, you can drop them a line to make the request. I do not work for them.

how do i assign colors(or appearance to multiple cells at one time. For instance the GMA Assign Key used to be 3 taps for appearance and now it is "set". I want to color code multiple groups at one time and so far i have to go to one at a time and hold the 'edit settings" and do it. And that's way lame.
