Thanks. At least somebody else notice that too. Also, stick to the full
screen mode,
I really noticed shorter "grey time" for my song buttons.

When you stop a song, you have to wait for the button to
"ungrey." The speed of that animation depends entire on the
frames per second you're getting. If you're on a slow system
or lagged due to spell animations, it's going to take longer.
On my original K6-200 system, it was impossible to play more
than 2 songs at a time because the buttons took over a half
second to ungrey. Right now on my 550 MHz system, I play in
D3D mode, even though glide mode produces cleaner output with
less jerkiness. The D3D mode has a higher fps, and the slight
difference is very noticeable when I start pounding at the
song buttons.

This is probably my biggest gripe about the interface. It
makes sense when applied to spellcasting (the spells usually
remained greyed for several seconds after casting, so an
extra quarter second doesn't really matter), but is really
stupid when applied to our songs.
