Maybe it'd be better to remove those options, but they work well, so it seems like a shame.

Don't remove the option, it is great. However - is there a way of having the UI on one monitor, and the fullscreen display (visualizations, etc) on another monitor?

This will likely not be in version 12.0. We really like the unified interface.

Hmmm.... >:(
This is something I use a fair bit when DJ-ing. It's very nice to use the laptop's screen for the UI and the Projector/TV output for G-Force. I think the unified interface is a good thing, but perhaps the Fullscreen view should be separate?
KingSparta:
I like this default skin
Much better than the MC11 skin

First Impressions:
#1--Thank you, JimH, you're very kind to let me participate. I'm guessing that adding me to the beta list is in recognition for my undying love of the product, rather than any particular, you know, aptitude.
#2--Noire skin. I think this is a great looking default skin, cool and sleek. In the great tradition of Thunderstorm and (IMO) Aruba/negative. I would note that a lot of the graphics are drawn very close to the white level, which on my laptop monitor is nearly blown out. It doesn't really seem to affect navigation, but there were one or two option dialogues where the non-default button was very hard to pick out. IMO, the level of the very lightest and thinnest lines should come down a bit, towards grey.
#3--Display view, which I LOVE. I went back to 11.1 just to compare it to the old method, and that's the last time I'm going back to the old method. I think in another thread Glynor mentioned the possibility of configuring Display view to send to another monitor, maybe as a discrete window. If he didn't mention it I'm mentioning it now. This might be against the whole point of slimming down the interface, I don't know. But it sure is snappy right now!
#4--Stability. It seems really solid. I got one BSOD out of a lot of thrashing around, but I'm running XP Home, which is spring-loaded to display the BSOD. So my impression is really positive.
Having a further look . . .
