Audacity 2.1.3x Release announcement on facebook.ĭarkAudacity 2.1.3.x was released in August 2016:.
The changes also took the sync-lock button out of a toolbar, probably better for most users to not have it there, but users who did use it would need to find the equivalent action in the menus. Other changes were felt to be bad because they entailed extra work (a tour guide of features was thought to be unnecessary extra work) or they made changes to behaviour that users were familiar with (record-beside as the default is not familiar, but saves new users getting a mix). The rearranged menus of DarkAudacity 2.1.3x are being adopted for Audacity 2.2.0, with further changes such as a new 'select' menu, made possible by the initial rearrangement. Now it is (or will in Audacity 2.2.0 be) offered as an optional theme choice. The light on dark theme was originally felt to be wrong for Audacity, as not fitting in with the traditional colours of Audacity. The ideas were discussed extensively, without agreement. Similar ideas had been proposed for Audacity. Less widely used commands were moved to lower down in the menus. Commands were put into clearer logical groups. For example DarkAudacity reorganized the menus so that the most used commands were at the top.
