Hi
I find the colours on the edit display is often very difficult to see. For example if I have a minute segment that needs removing I have difficulty findin the button to stretch the screen because it is so small and a dark colour. Many other aspects are difficult to see without magnifying glasses. This slows a lot of thigs down. Is there a different template ofr colour scheme. If not is one coming soon?

Changing the Powerdirector user interface requires digging into the programming of PowerDirector. There have been posts on the forum on how to change some of the colors. The one I rembember is about the Sound waveform colors.

However, you can use Keyboard HotKeys to do most things in PowerDirector.

In PowerDirector Help, search for "default keyboard hotkeys". There are lists of the hot keys available. Carl312: Windows 10 64-bit 8 GB RAM,AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz,ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB,240GB SSD,two 1TB HDs.

Thank you they will be helpful. I'm still interested in a better visible layout. It doesn't make sense when a lot of things like times on the timeline could be clearer and so could many other sections. I mean why not make the bar at the bottom white. So simple!

Thanks anyway I will try to make use of the hot keys.
