It’s good to hear that you’ve found that the new setup works for you-- I’m hoping that I can be similarly adaptable. My initial efforts have not felt as promising, but hope springs eternal. The toggle-ability is something I think I’ll continue to miss. I would still like to hear from Steinberg about the intended advantages of the new setup and am mystified by the unanticipated and undocumented disappearance of this much-used feature!

Chewy, I feel you! I was in the middle of a big mix when I did the update. After a little ‘messing around’ I carried on mixing with the new layout. By the end of the mix last night I must admit that I prefer the new workflow. I didn’t use ‘transparent’ much because it just made the project really hard to focus on. But, I really missed the original ‘opaque’ view when sliding clips over each other for editing (it used to work that way and then for a few updates/versions it was gone!) Now it feels as if I’ve got the it all. I’m going miss having a key command that toggled between ‘colorise background’ and not - the constant full colour of parts will get a bit tiring for me! Maybe I’m just getting old!!! ;D
Robin, from what I gathered in the past 2 days testing wise, I can’t go nowhere near the clean setup I had on previous versions. Ill be posting links with screenshots on the respective threads starting tomorrow, maybe someone from Steinberg says something, its about time.
Cheers.
