I honestly don't know what your people were thinking, putting FL12 ui out there. I get the impression they didn't do any kind of "user experience" research. The ui for 12 is really wasteful of screen space... nobs and controls which took up a little space before now look like huge "retard nobs" ...utterly wasteful of screen space, and pointlessly different than before. The colors suck, and that cool look and feel FL had before seems to be completely gone. Instead it's just got big bland controls. What's even worse about it is the fact that it was changed for no reason... let's go on to the transport panel. Before you were actually able to tell FL if you wanted it to play a pattern or playlist. Now, apparently, that just "isn't important anymore" when you want to play something... as if you would just throw caution to the wind and let FL play whichever is convenient or something, with no visible way of changing it... don't get me wrong... I know your designers DID put a way in there to do this... but my question to you is why on earth you would change a basic feature which has been in FL since at least version 4, when I started using it... let me put that another way. I use FL for about 12 - 16 hours a day. I'm basically ALWAYS using it. I think your new design sucks. Badly.
I call attention specifically to fruity formula controller... it was nice and compact, before, and now it is huge... why waste the screen space on making it bigger?
I also note that patcher opens every single item now, when FL launches and it screen bombs (opening tons of plugins when the project launches). My very first experience when launching FL 12 was to have 6 instances of patcher open up, with every single embedded plugin also opening up... which meant I had to click "X" about 100 times just to get started.
If I went into your bedroom and hid everything from you, and replaced all your cool art with stuff from a preschool...painted mickey mouses where you had tasteful art before, I think you might relate to what I'm experiencing now.
FL12 ui is bad, you had no reason to change it... I actually really liked the 11 interface... it was functional... you have users who have been using your software for (in my case) over 10 years... and you have just pointlessly forced them all to stop using FL to get stuff done, and instead insisted that they learn this new ui, which again, doesn't look any better, makes routine things needlessly complicated, and why?
Sorry to be so rudely blunt, but I feel like you guys really screwed me over on 12.
The really sad part is that there are vital bug fixes which I cant take advantage of without accepting the rest of the monstrosity. Please just bring back the 11 look and feel... and fix the transport so it discriminates between pattern and playlist?
