Hello
I made most of the recent changes to the EQ - the general idea was to make it easier to use... can you be a bit more specific about which aspects you don't like, and I'll have a look at dealing with them (no promises).
The use of sub-menus and "big friendly bars" are pretty much in stone now, but I'm happy to make tweaks if it will improve the user experience. I've also made room in the UI for a seriously hoopy new feature that will be added when we get time
Oh, and I'm looking at the bug too.
Cheers, John Graley
