Not sure if I like the new Lower transport bar, seems to just take screen space from away the project and left/right zones, when its contents could easily be put in the top bar if you have space
Currently things like record modes, tempo and time signature, input and output activity are only available in the lower bar.
So for example is you have empty room in your top bar (because you have turned off the items you don’t need or want to see) then we should be able to add items from the transport bar and keeping it all in one single bar.
Ideally, both top and bottom bars should have all items freely available, and the user can choose (depending on how many items they want to see) to use just one bar or both.
