Exactly. Because running programs in full screen (e.g. basically a new desktop environment) can increase productivity a lot. At least if you use a trackpad and quickly jump back and forth.

RD James:
Native pre-emphasis and HDCD decoding support would be great.
In the meantime I keep a copy of the original tracks, and made conversions to 24-bit FLACs with the decoding already applied to add to my library.

I've been using Command-Tab to switch between programs on Apple (and windows) for a really long time.  Works pretty much how I want it to.
I guess I can understand the appeal of this new full screen look.  It appears to you that you have JUST this on your screen, without the top bar.  Maybe that has some nice psychological effect of helping you concentrate on the program you are using.
I'm mostly just rambling because "I don't get it".  That shouldn't influence you of course.  Maybe the JRiver developers can make this happen. <shrug>  It's always up to them.

I don't think it's anything to do with being old, just set in your ways.
My parents are far from being tech literate and it makes using the computer significantly easier for them, since they only have to swipe left or right on the trackpad to change apps and don't have to deal with window management or keyboard shortcuts at all.
Maximizes the available space on a small notebook display too.

It has indeed.  :) But it's also nice to better ignore this very program:

Imagine using a MacBook as a remote control for your living room concert hall at night - when I'd be able to maximize the standard view window (using the Dark Cards) it would look even nicer and better fade in the background (but still be visible enough should I want to fast forward some track ...  ;)

Edit note: removed irrelevant remark(s).

+1 for HDCD support request

The most important feature of full-screen apps vs maximized windows is that nothing can be on top of them.  They're in their own virtual screen.  This prevents MC from getting buried behind other windows.  This is a big deal - especially if you're trying to use MC for parties.
